Readability, Interest, and Coverage of 13 College Textbooks on Gifted and Talented Education.

Maddux, Cleborne D.; Candler, Ann D.

Gifted Child Quarterly, v29 n1 p12-14 Win 1985

Examination of 13 college textbooks on education of the gifted and talented revealed a wide range of difficulty and interest levels. A wide variety of subject topics was found, with little agreement among authors concerning appropriate subject matter. Some important topics, such as career educational planning, received surprisingly little coverage. (Author/CL)
