The issue examined in this systematic review was the current status of research on the use of ICT techniques in the education of gifted children. After defining gifted children, the need for separate consideration of educating them and the appropriate method of educating them led to considering ICT as a promising method to teach them. The review found that some recent research has reported models of appropriate education using ICT. However, mere models are not going to achieve anything. Facilitation of ICT at the school level and training of teachers to teach gifted children using ICT is also important. As with any other case, factors and challenges determine the success of ICT use in educating gifted children. Early identification of gifted children, self-regulation and self-efficacy of gifted children to focus on the relevant topics, individualised programmes and lastly, the impact of the current Covid-19 pandemic have been discussed by the other papers that were reviewed. Overall, it can be deduced that ICT is indeed a useful avenue to teach gifted students, but it needs to be used in conjunction with other educational interventions/programs to ensure its effectiveness. These findings have practical implications for improving the education of gifted students.

Gifted students are important for the development of knowledgeable societies. The present study examined Mexican elementary-school teachers’ knowledge about gifted students, specifically on screening criteria, educational strategies, and their social value. The relationships between teachers’ knowledge, teaching experience, and training in gifted education was analysed. A total of 1002 teachers (M age = 37.5, SD = 9.6 years old) from the 33 states of Mexico, 365 men and 510 females with 13.5 years of teaching experience, of whom 32% were trained in gifted education, completed an anonymous questionnaire. K-means cluster analysis revealed two clusters. Cluster 1 comprised teachers (61.2%) with poor knowledge, while Cluster 2 included teachers (38.8%) with basic knowledge and more teaching experience and training. Overall, the findings had implications for teachers’ training and educational policy.

Globally, concerns have been expressed regarding the impact of regulation of pharmacy technicians. After more than a decade of experience with technician regulation in Ontario, Canada, uptake of the full scope of practice for technicians has been sporadic at best. The objective of this study was to examine barriers and facilitators to intraprofessional collaboration between pharmacists and pharmacy technicians for the purpose of identifying possible curricular or educational interventions to enhance workplace integration. A qualitative, interview-based study of 24 pharmacists, technicians, educators, pharmacy managers, and owners was undertaken using a semi-structured interview guide. Key findings of this research include: (i) Confirmation of suboptimal utilization of regulated technicians in practice; (ii) identification of crucial knowledge and skills gaps for both pharmacists and technicians; and (iii) proposals for undergraduate education and training, and continuing professional development learning opportunities to address these gaps. In order to achieve the promise and potential of regulation of pharmacy technicians, system-wide change management—beginning with education—will be required and will benefit from multiple stakeholder engagement and involvement.

In this contribution, we provide a critical analysis of the current status of vocational psychology and present an expansive vision for the future. We begin with an overview of the importance of vocational psychology in the history of The Counseling Psychologist, followed by a critical review of contemporary theory, research, practice, and training. We aim to expand the traditional purview of career choice and development and broaden the impact of the field to meet the needs of all who work and who want to work. We propose a new mission for vocational psychology characterized by innovative theoretical advancements, renewed interdisciplinary and international collaborations, and the inclusion of macrolevel factors in research, practice, and policy. Lastly, we conclude with a vision of vocational psychology in 20 years, which optimally will be reflected in a broadened scope of mission, integrative theoretical frameworks, and an expanded training and policy agenda.

Considerable Concern

Academic underachievement among children and young people is an area of considerable concern, and it is often linked to particular groups. Two groups that have attracted concern when it comes to underachievement are gifted children and boys. This study examines the intersection between the underachievement of these two groups by examining underachievement among intellectually gifted boys. A meta-analysis of the research literature concerning underachievement in gifted boys was conducted to identify factors that may be associated with this phenomenon. The findings suggest that underachievement in gifted boys may be primarily caused by social emotional factors, rather than by factors of their educational environment. It is noted that the factors relating to underachievement in gifted students have only been studied in a limited way, and this research addresses part of that gap. Further areas of study – in particular the impact of twice-exceptionality and of bullying on underachievement - are suggested for future study.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of a maintenance philosophy, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), on the operational performance of the Portuguese industry, identifying how it enables the systematic reduction of waste in maintenance.Design/methodology/approachA structured questionnaire was constructed and sent to 472 Portuguese enterprises, having obtained a sample constituted of 84 valid answers. With a five-point Likert scale, it was possible to assess the impact of the TPM on five operational performance dimensions, being them: quality, flexibility, productivity, safety and costs.FindingsIt was found that the planned maintenance, together with education and training are the practices with the highest degree of implementation in the Portuguese industry, exceeding 70% for both. The productivity is the dimension with a higher degree of impact from the implementation of TPM and costs the dimension that suffered a lesser impact.Practical implicationsThis paper shows and analyses the current state of TPM implementation in the Portuguese industry and it will be useful for maintenance professionals, researchers and others concerned with maintenance, in order to understand the effects of TPM implementation on the operational performance of the Portuguese industries.Originality/valueThe findings from this paper will be valuable for professionals who desire and are looking forward to implement an effective maintenance approach in the maintenance management system, in order to achieve the excellence in maintenance.

Appropriate Education

Interest has been growing in identification and appropriate education of gifted students with handicapping conditions. Because the focus in educating gifted and talented handicapped children has been on problems rather than abilities and potential, such children have often not had an opportunity to demonstrate their gifts. With the implementation of the 1975 Education for All Handicapped Children Act (P.L. 94–142), professionals in the fields of education for gifted students and for handicapped students have had more chances to exchange information. Accurate means of identifying and developing giftedness must be employed as well as strategies for overcoming handicaps in order to allow gifted/handicapped individuals to realize their full potential.
