The present study analyses different theroretical conceptualizations of
gifted students and their projection on the pedagogical diagnosis,
focusing on the specific problems of diagnosis and on the two more
widely used instruments: psychometric tests and experts judgement. The
second part of this article offers the results of a research on gifted
preschool and primary students. These outcomes reveal not only the
superiority of this group of students in intelligence, but also in
their short and long term achievement, self-concept scores and in the
teachers´appreciation. Conclusions will also be offered on the low
ceiling effect of the McArthy Scales (MSCA) when it identifies
preschool children with high abilities, the relative effectiveness of
the set of instruments used, and the suitability of using them as
complementary. Carmen Jiménez Fernández Key words: Gifted Students, Ceiling Effect, Pedagogical Diagnosis of Giftedness, Effectiveness, Complementarity of Instruments. Por una parte, que estos alumnos míos destacan en las pruebas de capacidad, rendimiento y autoconcepto así como en las valoraciones del profesorado; por otra, que la prueba de MacArthy aplicada en preescolar parece adolecer del “efecto techo”, y que el conjunto de los instrumentos utilizados presentan una eficacia relativa por lo que se aconseja aplicarlos con carácter complementario, Carmen Jiménez Fernández. Descriptores: Alumnos superdotados, Efecto techo, Diagnóstico pedagógico de la puperdotación, Eficacia, Complementariedad de los instrumentos diagnósticos. |
