The future of intelligence research and gifted education

Intelligence, 2021, vol. 87, issue C

Abstract: This paper considers the future of intelligence research and gifted education by first examining gifted education through the lens of intelligence research and second by examining intelligence research through the lens of gifted education. We take a historical approach to understanding the potential confluence of the two domains and also consider the challenges of integrating a primarily science focused field with a primarily advocacy and applied field. We conclude by acknowledging genuine challenges of integrating the two fields in the future while simultaneously providing some recommendations on how intelligence research and gifted education might find a scientific and pragmatic intersection with a focus on helping develop the talents of all students, and especially those from marginalized backgrounds.
