Research Methods -A24/A26

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to look at some of the factors which interfere with the learning of the gifted students while refining the theory applicable to this case. This is only one sentence and does not constitute a discussion.

The selected chart Comment by Reviewer: This is not an APA heading.

The selected chart is that which was used for the Dabrowski’s theory of the positive disintegration into the curriculum for the gifted students. The refining of the theory is based on the four out of the selected article in the previous assignments whereby a number of factors is affecting the learning process (behavior and the psychomotor) of the gifted student. You need to check your punctuation as well. Where is the Chart located? Should be referenced in the discussion. Comment by Reviewer: You must source your discussion. This constitutes plagiarism when you do not source. You need to correct this problem on future submissions. I can refer you for writing support if you would like the additional support.

Not sure what this is? Refining Dabrowski's theory and its relationship to the Education of the gifted students

The discussion which follows need to be sourced. Looking at the Dabrowski's theory of the positive disintegration, the development of the gifted children required the incorporation of the personality with the emotional development of these children. This theory calls for the special care which is necessary towards the development of the gifted student in terms of their education. In order for the gifted students to match other learners, it is necessary to provide them with special attention.

According to the study by Kyle et al. (2011), the goal of the article was to search for some particular aspects which are required towards advocating for the progress of the students in their education. Based on the Dabrowski's theory of the positive disintegration, the gifted children require special attention for them to successfully develop with regard to their education. While developing the curriculum in the education of the gifted students, it is important to consider some of the special needs of the gifted students. These children are not the same as other students, therefore; the curriculum needs to be adjusted to meet their demands so that they can manage to match up with other students. It is important to consider the Dabrowski's theory of the positive disintegration into the curriculum development of education to benefit the gifted-talented students. It is, therefore, necessary to have clear goals, effective delivery methods, and the proper assessment of the system of education of the gifted students before designing or coming up with the curriculum for all the students (Kyle, Dianne, & Mary, 2011).

In another study by Callahan (2015) on what is working best for the gifted students, the goal was to determine the impacts of an incorporated curricula or the instructional form for the gifted learners. Over the past decade, the education sector has done little enough to come up with a suitable component of the education system which is important in promoting the education of the gifted students. According to the Dabrowski's theory of the positive disintegration for the gifted students, it is important to come up with some essential progressive approaches through a pentatonic level. This is important towards the emotional as well as the social development of the gifted children. Comment by Reviewer: Where is the first?

According to this study, the effective component of the curricula for the gifted students should be the one which includes some crucial aspects which can be of benefit to all the learners. The gifted students require special care in their education and this need to be incorporated in their learning curriculum to enable the gifted students to match other students (Callahan, 2015). Therefore, while the education policymakers are designing the education curriculum, it is always important to consider the psychomotor, imagination, emotion, and the sensual requirements of the gifted children to allow an easy process of learning.

Another study by Stambaugh et al. (2015) was aimed at looking at the aspect of serving the gifted students within the rural areas. There are a number of challenges being faced by the gifted students and this cannot be compared to those students who are learning in the urban areas. Since the Dabrowski's theory of the positive disintegration requires the gifted students to be provided with special education, this issue requires adequate resources which have to be put in place for these students to meet the learning standards of other students. Comment by Reviewer: This is not clear above in the theory discussion.

Teaching these children is sometimes becoming a challenge to the educators in the rural settings. This is due to the lack of the necessary tools to enable them to provide this special education. It is always important to assist teachers in creating personal talents towards serving and meeting the special needs of these gifted children in their education. In most cases, the rural setting has been abandoned and receive no special attention from the education departments thus making them have unqualified professionals to assists in meeting the special needs as well as supporting the community. Qualified staffs such as teachers, doctors, and the law enforcement officers are looking for urban areas and other areas which have adequate resources to work in. this, therefore, has made these children to develop the perception of being unique from other students thus making it hard for them to work hard towards being successful. The rural areas have been geographically isolated thus making it hard for the students to gain access to important learning tools such as museums, zoos, and libraries (Stambaugh & Wood, 2015).

Smith (2015) studied the development of the children and more emphasis was put on the practical as well as the applied impacts of the development research. The author is stressing on understanding the development of the children especially in terms of their social world. According to the Dabrowski's theory of the positive disintegration, understanding the social as well as the emotional needs of the gifted children can be important in making their learning process to be successful. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the teachers to ensure that children are exposed to some different learning environment such as by attending some tours like in the museums and zoos since this gives them the opportunity to explore their world as well as experiencing what is around them. This greatly helps in helping the children to change their learning process (Smith, 2015).

Conclusions Comment by Reviewer: Use the correct heading and heading format. They are in the APA Manual.

It is evident from the above discussion that the efforts of coming up with strategies to help in improving the education of the gifted students is still lacking. Based on the Dabrowski's theory of the positive disintegration, it is important to provide the gifted students with special needs so that they can match other learners in their education. Lack of enough resources as well as lack of emotional support is also affecting the learning outcome of the gifted students.
