STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

You need a topic sentence with overall aim for this discussion. According to Creswell (2013) gifted students, irrespective of possessing higher levels of intelligence than their peers, are disadvantaged in the manner that they constantly do not or not provided with an environment to reach their full potential. You need to source what follows. The issues of excellence have been a developing factor most gifted students, parents and teachers try to understand in order to bridge the gap of disparities which are affecting the education of the gifted students. As presented by the previous studies, different challenges stand as blockages for gifted students to excel. Among the challenging problems is the lack of emotional and social support talented students require completing their development (you need to source). Second is the issue of labeling which makes the students be stereotyped in the society making them become stigmatized? Not clear why this is a question? Comment by Reviewer: Creswell has never published on gifted students. This is an incorrect citation. Comment by Reviewer: You have not presented any studies. Comment by Reviewer: Your text is not formatted correctly. This was noted on the previous draft.

You need a discussion before the Chart and you need to reference the chart in the paragraph such as (see Table 1). See APA Manual for the correct formatting of a chart. Charts should be gray scale.

Also, the issue is the lack of precise objectives by the teachers, absent of the delivery model, as well as a poor assessment of the entire learning process of the gifted problems. These problems affect the educational progress of the gifted children distracting the full realization of their potential (source required). Different theories have been developed to show how an independent and dependent variable affects the education of a gifted child (source). what are the variables? What is the effect? The following chart shows a chart describing the relationship between the effects of variables towards the education of a gifted child. Comment by Reviewer: This paragraph is not sourced. You must sources all assertions of fact.

The chart does not follow.

The primary independent variable in this study is gifted students who are affected by dependent variables like parents, teachers, education sectors, curriculum, theories, and gifted students programs. Iit means that different theories try to modify what affects the education of the gifted children with alternative resolutions to fit the expectations and needs of a gifted child (source). For instance, “stigma of giftedness” theory makes the gifted students be stereotyped in the society making them fail to fully use their ability and keep away from identifying with the stigma of to over-identify with the label through the adoption of the stereotypical characteristics (source). This theory directly impacts the independent variable main catalyst being the “society.” Emotional and social imbalance support also affects gifted students, a dependent variable that can be changed starting with parents and the families (source). This is explained by the attachment theory which stipulates that children who are enjoying a safe attachment connection with caregivers find it easier to explore their environment (source). Additionally, (American Psychological Association. 2010) report indicates that Dabrowski’s theory of positive disintegration affects gifted children development through the incorporation of their personality with their emotional development. Thus, gifted children require this theory that presents how special care is important in their education. Lastly, the dependent variable of resources distribution directly affects the quality provided to gifted students. This is best explained by the psychosocial development theory that highlights the importance of satisfying the socio-emotional needs of the talented scholars. Comment by Reviewer: This discussion is not sourced. This is a major problem. When you do not source, this can be considered plagiarism. Comment by Reviewer: Whose theory is this? You need to source. Comment by Reviewer: APA error. Check your APA for the correct format for citations. There should be no use of parenthesis here. Comment by Reviewer: You have mention three theories. You just needed one. You have not defined or described the theory you are using. Comment by Reviewer: Not clear which theory this is?

Hi,

You have numerous APA errors and spacing issues. Your formatting of the text is still incorrect. Your text should be left justified.

Part of the assignment was as follows: Using the articles from previous activities or 4 new quantitative studies create a chart to provide a visual graphic of dependent and independent variables and align with the selected theory in response to the research question.

You did not use any of the previous articles or new articles. You need to source your discussions. This is a major problem. I have offered several times to meet with you to discuss the issues you have in your writing. I am still available.
