Gifted Education in the State of Kuwait: Review from a Learning-Resource Perspective
Hafsyan, Amnah S. M.
Cogent Education, v10 n1 Article 2224518 2023
Gifted students in the State of Kuwait and the education system that develops them are examined in this paper from the perspective of the Actiotope Model of Giftedness (AMG) pioneered by Ziegler, Baker, and Stoeger. It invites readers to compare the education system of the State of Kuwait to their own country, and the results of their own country to those represented in Kuwaiti gifted students' Actional Learning Capital and Episodic Learning Capital. The experience of gifted students is considered as a function of their personal traits, as well as exogenous factors of infrastructural, economic, and curriculum resources available, the qualities of their teachers, the influence of their society, and the involvement of their families. A cataloging of the available evidence is given with an emphasis on these exogenous factors that differ between nations. Additional research is needed on gifted students in Kuwait on the endogenous learning capitals and measuring gifted student abilities in a way that allows rigorous comparisons to those of gifted students in other countries.
