On March 14, it was recognized if it was not officially A day of high capabilities. This is also because it has been selected International Mathematics DayIn addition to the birthday of other historical people Albert Einstein Oh Johan Strauss (Father). To emphasize the importance of giving and doing a goal visual associated with other dates in the calendar A good diagnosis High capabilities.
According to the Ministry of Education, There are 46,238 students with high capacities in SpainAlthough some entities Children, adolescents and gift and talent for adults and the Spanish Association (Aest), say the figure small. Many studies have not been diagnosed due to lack of evidence and that most abilities are not a valid uniform feeling for all people.
It is explained by Aest: “Gift, intelligence and talent are concepts that have different meanings according to cultures. For that reason, There is no universally accepted definition of what high capabilities are“. For the World Health Organization (who) is” gift “when a person is more than 130 intellectual multiplication. Therefore, many experts consider this data, but it is not decisive to the diagnosis.”The only common feature that all AACC people share is their high practice and curiosity To know deeply, through very different methods, everything that trigger them, “they describe from the Aest website.
In spite of international guides, every specialist has their own approach to identify high capabilities
How to recognize high capabilities?
So Identifying high capabilities Will be positive Multi -dimensional evaluation It combines different tests and observations. According to Alba M.ª Garcia Rasero, Clinical Neuro Psychologist And the center of the Neuromycology and Infantozuwenil and Madrid is responsible for the founding partner of psychology, Should have an early interview with parents, teachers and children in a good diagnosis . Along with each other Evaluation of different thought and creativitySome people with high capabilities stand in the ability to create novel ideas, and finally, the observation of Educational performance and behavior in different environments. Once they all have, the diagnosis of up to several months in a few weeks can be made up to several months.
“Despite international guides, every specialist has their own approach depending on the following theoretical design, although there are different classifications in high capacities,” explains to Alicia Telesinko News website. Mostly used The giftIn many fields when high CI (usually more than 130) along with the best cognitive and creative skills, Common talentWhen the person stands in a certain area (mathematics, noise, artistic, etc.), but without the usual dominance Complex or multi -talentWhen there are high skills in many fields, but not necessarily fulfilling talented standards, and Intellectual PrequacityThey are children who show sophisticated cognitive development for their age, although it does not always have high chronic capabilities.
Find a specific talent
Los High capabilities They are manifested in different ways and in different places. Experts usually estimate Certain talented, For example, someone who has extraordinarily skills in mathematics but without highlighting it in other areas, The ability to solve creativity and problem (Have an innovative and original thinking process), Learn quickly and automaticallyAnd, have emotional and social tenderness with more intensity than normal.
So, so, Can a person can only have high capabilities in a particular case? The answer is yes. “This is called Specific talent. A person can excel in a particular area without their normal functioning unusually. For example, those kids a Mathematical talentThey can solve sophisticated problems from an early age, but then have average verbal skills. And, on the contrary, those who are Sound talentIt has ease of writing, argument and languages, but less skill in other things. Or talent Artistic music.
So, the Education policy must be personalized. If we talk about that math talent, you can accelerate your practice with advanced programs in that area. “For example, a verbal talent student can benefit from creative writing projects or negotiations. And, in case of artistic talent, special classes and special classes and mentering classes can be provided with special classes and mentering classes.”
What happens when the diagnosis is not correct?
When the diagnosis is not arrived or is not correct, it can cause different problems in the student, which can be bored in the classroom, demotivation or even showing School failure. On the other hand, it is common, alba M.ª Garcia Rasero points out, there is confusion with other disorder. “Sometimes, high capabilities can be confused with disorders such as ADHD or TEA, which leads to inappropriate interference and experiences unnecessary stress, because if someone is wrong with high capabilities, they may experience the unrealistic demands that affect their emotional well.” If there are doubts about the diagnosis, there should be a re -valid observation with another specialist and recommend that she take into account the different perspectives of teachers, family and psychologists.
