Abstract:
The 9-Layered Model of Giftedness is an innovative conceptual framework composed of an integrated set of abilities, skills and values that align with Goals 3, 4 and 8 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030: Good Health and Well-Being, Quality Education, and Decent Work and Economic Growth, respectively. The corresponding hierarchical model considers metacognitive abilities, such as attentional control and self-regulation, as well as personal values and attitudes towards life, such as sustainability and inclusiveness, as major qualitative criteria encapsulated in the construct of giftedness, thereby reframing intelligence per se into collective intelligence. Moreover, a chatbot was developed, incorporating knowledge and computerised tools organised into modules that support lifelong learning—a key metacognitive competency for the Industry 4.0 era—thereby enhancing personal and professional development.
