About the project
How coaches, teachers, and artistic supervisors identify and develop a talent. A comparative study.
The project is part of the Strategic program of Research at Bergen University College, under the following titles:Teacher Professionalism, and Art Didactics.
Goals
The aim is twofold:
- establish research-based and practice-based knowledge of the criteria used by coaches, teachers and artistic supervisors, when identifying the talented child or young person
- provide for extensive knowledge and greater understanding of how a talent is developed and stimulated in qualified ways.
The project pertains further to compare the conceptions of giftedness and the methods for developing the gifted person in the fields of sports/physical education, gifted education, and art.
The intention is to raise the qualitative perception and knowledgeable information in understanding talent and the development of the gifted, and, in addition, to provide criteria and lines of guidance, functional for professional use in the fields of practice, worked out in collaboration with trainers, coaches, teachers, and artistic mentors.
