Description
Paradigms of Gifted Education facilitates the development of a research agenda by identifying three major paradigms of gifted education and 20 essential research questions that would help move the field forward.
Advocating a paradigmatic approach to inquiry in the field, authors David Yun Dai and Fei Chen focus on consistent and coherent methodology in their new book Paradigms of Gifted Education: A Guide to Theory-Based, Practice-Focused Research.,Gifted Child Today, 6/21/15
The language, rigor, and stated purpose of this text recommend its use by researchers and theoreticians as they move toward more explicit empirical investigation of the field of gifted education. In addition, educators and administrators who are willing to engage the highly technical writing would benefit from the comprehensive, research-based history of the field as a context for making immediate programmatic decisions in service to students identified as gifted. ,Kristofer Wiley, Ph.D.,Roeper Review, 9/1/14
