Thinking about Model Specification in Gifted Education

Gifted and Talented International, 2000, vol. 15, issue 2, 85-91

Abstract: This article applies the process of model specfication to three models in gifted education. It describes the steps in structural equation modeling and introduces the Analysis of Linear Structural Relationships Model (LISREL) as a conceptual tool for model specification. It suggests that longitudinal research will be necessary to test these models property. Significant subject pools will also need to be employed to reduce capitalization on chance when testing the goodness-of-fit between the models and actual data collected. It is hoped that the application of the approaches suggested will lead to empirically-based model refinement in gifted education.
