The article analyses the concept “school-based anxiety” in terms of current trends and innovations in education. It describes the study of school-based anxiety of intellectually gifted school children. We revealed the prevalence of personal, situational and other types of school-based anxiety in gifted adolescents. Increased personal, situational and school-based anxiety is associated with high cognitive motivation and motivation to achieve. A high degree of awareness and reflexivity of senior pupils make the educational sphere significant (super-significant) for gifted children. The disharmonious development of various areas of the personality of an intellectually gifted child does not always allow us to correct anxiety with various strategies of coping behavior. Behavioral and emotional manifestations of anxiety often prevent an adolescent from realizing his own potential. According to the study results, it is recommended to teach intellectually gifted senior pupils special methods of emotional regulation, attention switching, and methods of correcting their behavior using special programs. Vacation and profile sessions should include not only profile classes, but also coaching programs of both individual and group forms for the all-round development of an intellectually gifted adolescent’s personality with the aim of harmonious preparing him for activities in a world of uncertainty.

The present study is aimed at studying some intellectual and non-intellectual endowments and characteristics of the intellectually gifted children and also to see how their self-development could be influenced by a planned orientation through lectures and exercises. 740 boys and 520 girls from five randomly selected senior secondary schools having IQ of 145 or above comprised the sample for study. Intelligence, interests, self-esteem, creativity, neuroticism and extraversion, anxiety and sociometric status were studied of such students. These students were given eight sessions of orientation consisting of lecture-cum-demonstration of communication skills, creative thinking and problem solving, leadership and initiative, self-motivation techniques, interpersonal relations and self-development. The results of the study show that gifted children need three things from their parents and teachers. These are (i) acceptance (ii) understanding and (iii) superior insight into problems given their ability for generalising, reasoning and dealing with abstraction. They learn readily and easily, have good memory to listen to. Parents must give active help to their child in assisting him/her to discover his/her assets and limitations - physical, mental and social and to match these with the requirements of different vocations.

The author reveals the essence of the culture of social interaction as a pedagogical phenomenon, develops diagnostic tools for its study and determines the level of its formation in 196 adolescents with outstanding mental abilities studying in grades 7-9 of secondary schools.

This article presents the results of studying and improving the self-regulation of gifted adolescents. The authors have developed a special program of psychological and pedagogical support for adolescents with literary talents in order to improve their self-regulation. This program was tested at the “Sirius” Educational center for gifted children created by the “Talent and Success” Educational Foundation in Sochi. The authors used V.I. Morosanova’s concept of self-regulation for testing and forming the above-mentioned program. The study results demonstrate an increase in the self-regulation of gifted adolescents, whose main components are as follows: the ability to plan, model, evaluate and adjust mental states and actions to achieve certain goals.

Abstract Objective: The term intellectually gifted (IG) refers to children of high intelligence, which is classically measured by the intelligence quotient (IQ). Some researchers assume that the cognitive profiles of these children are characterized by both strengths and weaknesses, compared with those of their typically developing (TD) peers of average IQ. The aim of the present systematic review was to verify this assumption, by compiling data from empirical studies of cognitive functions (language, motor skills, visuospatial processing, memory, attention and executive functions, social and emotional cognition) and academic performances. Method: The literature search yielded 658 articles, 15 of which met the selection criteria taken from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses model. We undertook a qualitative summary, to highlight any discrepancies between cognitive functions. Results: IG children exhibited better skills than TD children in a number of domains, including attention, language, mathematics, verbal working memory, shifting, and social problem solving. However, the two groups had comparable skills in visuospatial processing, memory, planning, inhibition, and visual working memory, or facial recognition. Conclusion: Although IG children may have some strengths, many studies have failed to find differences between this population and their TD peers on many other cognitive measures. Just like any other children, they can display learning disabilities, which can be responsible for academic underachievement. Further studies are needed to better understand this heterogeneity. The present review provides pointers for overcoming methodological problems and opens up new avenues for giftedness research.

The publication deals with the topic of measuring metacognition, with special emphasis on a specific group of intellectually gifted children. It briefly presents the construct of metacognition itself, its relation to intellectual giftedness, together with a taxonomy of metacognitive phenomena. Next, the most important methods developed to assess metacognition are discussed and critically appraised. The monography covers both the methods, in which the data are registered during the execution of the stimulus task (on-line methods), and the methods, where the data are recorded with some time lag (off-line methods). The most extensive part of the publication is devoted to the topic of various measures, used to express the level of metacognitive monitoring.
