Navigating Challenges in Gifted Education: A Teacher's Perspective on Overcoming Barriers
Lukanda Kalobo; Wendy Setlalentoa
Athens Journal of Education, v11 n4 p269-287 2024
Gifted education is of utmost importance in the development and growth of intellectually advanced students; however, it often encounters various obstacles that hinder its effectiveness. This research delves into the perspectives of teachers regarding the overcoming of these barriers to providing effective gifted education. Employing qualitative research methods, a combination of interviews and surveys is conducted to gather valuable insights from a diverse group of teachers. The findings shed light on several challenges faced by teachers, including limited resources, inadequate training, and insufficient support from stakeholders. To address these challenges, teachers put forth potential solutions that could lead to the improvement of gifted education. These solutions encompass enhanced professional development opportunities for teachers, increased funding to allocate resources effectively, and the promotion of collaboration among all stakeholders involved. By effectively addressing these barriers, a more inclusive and nurturing environment can be fostered for gifted students. The study underlines the importance of integrating modules on gifted education into teacher education programs. By incorporating these modules, future educators can be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively support and educate gifted students. Consequently, the implementation of the GATE policy to promote good practice plays a key role in gifted education. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the challenges faced in gifted education and provides valuable insights that can inform policies and practices aimed at supporting the education of gifted students.
