Gifted Children and Learning

Children's IQ scores are determined based on a specific physical test.

IQ tests can predict creativity accurately.

Children with IQ scores over 130 tend to have better educational support at home.

IQ tests are not influenced by a child's learning environment.

To reach a high standard, exceptionally able children need focused challenging tuition.

High achievers use self-regulatory learning strategies less effectively than lower achievers.

According to Shore and Kanevsky (1993), if gifted children think more quickly, then teachers need to teach more quickly.

Support from teachers is not required for gifted children to learn by themselves.

Overdirecting teachers can enhance their gifted pupils' learning autonomy.

Child-initiated learning methods are not particularly useful for bright children.
