De relatie tussen cognitieve kenmerken en onderwijsbehoeften van hoogbegaafde leerlingen

Master thesis | Education and Child Studies (MSc)

In this experimental research is examined whether there is a relationship between the quality of the working memory and the degree of creativity of gifted students with their educational needs. For this research are used the Guilford’s Alternative Uses Test (GAUT), the Sentence Span Measure (SSM) and an interview for 56 pupils from nine different elementary schools in the Netherlands. The pupils were in grade 6, 7 and 8 and the average age was 10.3 years. Through correlational analysis, cluster analysis and variance analysis is determined that there are, accept of one small relationship between the SSM and fluency on the GAUT, no significant relationships between the quality of the working memory and the degree of creativity of gifted students with their educational needs. The answers of the pupils at the interview are qualitatively analysed; in the conclusion some practical recommendations for education are done as a result of this analysis.
