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.

Overexcitabilities is a special trait in gifted and talented students but is rarely known to the general public. 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. ABSTRAK Keterujaan luar biasa merupakan satu keistimewaan yang ada pada pelajar pintar dan berbakat namun jarang diketahui oleh masyarakat umum.

Additional Education

The current situation in the education system requires a revision of the content of work with such a non-standard category as gifted children. Many scientists are aware of the importance of gifted and talented children as the future scientific elite and the engine of the country's progress. Most studies identify a number of difficulties in the social development of the gifted, including the difficulties of communicating with peers and adults, the complexity of personal self-determination, and often the difficulty of professional self-determination. In this regard, the study of issues of professional selfdetermination is seen as an urgent problem that requires psychological and pedagogical consideration. As practice shows, most organizations of additional education have successful and interesting experience in working with gifted children, who later turn out to be prize-winners and winners of the olympic and competitive movement. In 2019– 2020 we conducted a study in which 156 students of senior school age took part. With the help of a questionnaire, we studied and identified the features of professional selfdetermination of gifted high school students in the conditions of additional education organizations in the city of Kostroma (Multi-subject school for the gifted) and St. Petersburg (Academy of talents). In addition, we have revealed some influence of the chosen programs of additional education on the professional choice of young people. The results of the study have shown that additional education plays an important role in the professional self-determination of gifted students, and there is a certain relationship between the profile of future professional activity and the choice of a particular association in organizing additional education.

For students, the transition between secondary school and higher education can be problematic. Their prior knowledge may be insufficient, they may lack the right attitude or not have enough skills for university. Especially gifted students often lack challenges to remain motivated. Moreover, it is not easy for secondary school students to get a good picture of a variety of further studies. For their teachers, it is difficult to keep students informed about actual research in science and technology, as they are not in touch with this research on a regular basis. In this paper, we report about experiences of more than ten years at Utrecht University, offering pre-university students opportunities to be involved in lectures, workshops, laboratories and research at the university. We report on students' motivation to register for this programme, and their experiences afterwards. Important categories of motivation and experience are: raising interest in science; the choice of, and preparation for, further studies; working with a group of similar, motivated students; the wish to be challenged; and the experience of doing research at the university. University lecturers involved in the programme like to work with these students, and are motivated to share their research experiences.
