Patterns in education : an examination of gifted and talented instruction : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

The study attempted to investigate the differences between instruction for gifted students in a regular classroom and gifted students in a self-contained classroom. Many obstacles were encountered throughout the study, including one which prohibited research before it could even begin. To complete this study, previous research was used to hypothesize what products the study may have yielded. It was determined that differentiation, in its many forms, is the best method to use to appropriately challenge gifted students in the regular classroom.
