The article analyzes modern research on the effectiveness of the application of different teaching practices for gifted and talented students based on acceleration and enrichment strategies. The data of foreign studies on the size of the educational effect on academic success, social and personal development of gifted and talented students, depending on the applied strategies and training programs, as well as educational levels, are discussed. The positive influence of most forms of acceleration and enrichment on the academic success of gifted students can be considered proven, although the size of the effect is different for different forms and different levels of education. With regard to the socio-emotional and personal development of gifted students, the data on the positive impact is not so clear, while enrichment programs have an advantage, and the maximum effect size is shown for high school students. The problem of the lack of empirical data on the effectiveness of enriched programs for gifted students and most of all for gifted elementary school students has been identified. An example of the implementation of the enrichment strategy for gifted children of this educational level in domestic practice is presented — the program of creative interdisciplinary training “The gifted child”, which has a sufficient, although not complete, evidence base. Its wider implementation and distribution is associated with the problem of psychological and pedagogical training of teachers. The article presents.

This overexcitabilities is one of the socioemotional issues faced by gifted and talented students. The concept of overexcitedness has come to be known in the field gifted and talented and has a great impact on the self-development and future of the students. A survey was conducted using the Overexcitability Survey (II) instrument to measure the overexcitabilities of these gifted and talented students. Previous researchers agree that the Overexcitability Survey (II) is also suitable to be used in identifying gifted and talented individuals. The Overexcitability Survey (II) has five sub constructs: emotional dimension, imagination, intellectual, psychomotor and sensory. The findings of the study among high school students (n = 40) in gifted and talented schools in Negeri Sembilan showed that gifted and talented students had the highest score for intellectual constructs (mean = 3.54) and followed by sensory (mean = 3.51), imagination (mean = 3.45), emotion (mean = 3.40) and psychomotor (mean = 3.40). This study also goes through the Positive Disintegration Theory by Dabrowski that gifted and talented students are able to excel and strive to overcome their weaknesses in order to succeed if they are able to adapt to the uniqueness of the over excitabilities. The knowledge of this over excitabilities is necessary to help the excellence of gifted and talented students.

The outbreak of coronavirus required adjustment regarding the delivery of interventions. Media literacy interventions are necessary to help people acquire relevant skills to navigate the complexities of media communications, and to encourage health-promoting behaviors. The present study aimed to promote a media literacy intervention regarding performance and appearance enhancement substances use in sports high school students. The COVID-19 contingency allowed us to evaluate whether online sessions can effectively promote greater awareness of media influence, a stronger sense of confidence in persuading others to deal with media messages, and healthier attitudes about PAES use among high school students. The study relied on an “intervention group” comprising 162 students (31.5% female) and a “control group” comprising 158 students (42% female). Data were analyzed through repeated measures of Group X Time MANOVA and ANOVA, demonstrating some degree of efficacy of the media literacy intervention. The “intervention group” reported higher awareness of potential newspapers’ influence and a significant increase in their sense of confidence in dealing with media influence compared to the “control group”. Findings support the efficacy of online media literacy programs to prevent doping consumption in adolescents.

The Impact

Digital media literacy has become an intrinsic component in shaping high school students’ knowledge acquisition and critical thoughts. Over the last two decades, internet and computers have been the implemented tools to reach such goals and promote the students’ learning. This article looks for the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on Tunisian secondary school students by detecting their technical skills as well as their critical understanding. This quantitative study relies on a self-reporting approach and targets 150 Tunisian secondary students. It proves the necessary consideration of technological and social variables in helping sort out major digital handicaps related to secondary students and displays the interconnectedness between the different dimensions of digital media literacy. It also displays that Tunisian high school students cannot be referred to as digital-media literate people. The study contributes to the field of digital media literacy as it offers a solid empirical background to build on and indicates the necessity of integrating digital media literacy into the school-based initiatives.
