Curriculum Trends

Recent studies have revealed themes of giftedness that have implications for the curriculum in the language arts. These themes include the desire to know and inquire, the uses of play and imagination, the thrust toward coherence, the motivational ambience of the family, and the value of varied apprenticeships. Correlatively, trends in the language arts curriculum reflect the growing influence of the constructivists' theory of learning with its emphasis on active generality of meaning by students. These curriculum trends are propitious for the gifted who excel in learning environments characterized by independent activity and filling in the gaps left by incomplete and less structured teaching. This paper describes how new directions in the language arts curriculum match the themes of giftedness and suggest how gifted students can be helped to share their images and meanings through the language arts.
