Academic achievement profiles affect students’ further development, i.e., by informing educational and professional choices. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the mechanisms behind the development of academic profiles. For research on cognitive ability profiles, specifically differentiation processes, statistical tools have been developed. In the present article, we transfer these methods for differentiation research to academic achievement data. We examine differentiation depending on students’ general level of achievement and grade level in a large Luxembourgish student sample. Students’ achievements in German, French, and Math were assessed within the Luxembourg school monitoring program. We found more balanced academic profiles with increasing achievement level. We further found more balanced profiles with increasing grade level and a positive interaction effect. [less ▲]

We present a teacher professionalization project for promoting elementary school teachers’ diagnostic competencies in recognizing their students’ potential in STEM subjects. Teacher professionalization is fostered through the teachers’ personal involvement in the development of subjectspecific diagnostic materials as well as through continuing training on the fundamental knowledge needed to detect and support gifted students. On the basis of the Talent Development in Achievement Domains (TAD) framework, we reached a common working theory of talent and its development in mathematics and science for elementary school-aged students based on the available scientific evidence and approved by teachers. We share a multidimensional, dynamic view of talent development that includes abilities, personality traits, and skills. We describe how our working theory and diagnostic materials can foster teachers’ diagnostic competencies as well as talent discovery and promotion in order to foster students’ development of creative productivity in STEM fields.

We present a working theory of person-related predictors of talent development in natural science during elementary school. The working theory resulted from the juxtaposition of scientific findings and teachers' expertise. The results showed that both teachers and researchers conceive of talent development in natural science as a complex process including abilities, personality traits, and skills as predictors. However, teachers focused mainly on skills whereas the scientific literature emphasized cognitive abilities. The working theory can be used for the identification and promotion of natural science talent and the development of teachers' diagnostic skills to assess students’ potential in natural science.

We present a five-year project aimed at improving teachers’ skills to detect mathematical and scientific talent in elementary school students. Within the project, teachers from 23 German schools and researchers cooperate to extend teachers’ diagnostic competencies, substantiate their practices scientifically, and to learn from each other’s experiences in the detection and promotion of STEM talent (i.e. networked improvement community). The project is theoretically based on domain- specific talent development models for mathematics and natural science. In the course of the project, teachers interact with e-learning modules, participate in training sessions, attend workshops that bridge scientific theory and educational practice, and regularly evaluate these components of the project. We present the conceptualization of the project as well as first results. [less ▲]

Zur Unterstützung der Entwicklung leistungsstarker und potenziell besonders leistungsfähiger Schülerinnen und Schüler setzt das LemaS-Teilprojekt 20 LUPE bei den diagnostischen Kompetenzen der Lehrpersonen an. Basis hierfür ist ein Talententwicklungsmodell mit spezifischem Bezug zur Leistungsentwicklung in den MINT-Fächern (Mathematik und Sachunterricht – Bereich Natur & Technik) während der Grundschulzeit. Dieses Modell wird im LUPE-Projekt entwickelt, indem die Perspektiven von Wissenschaft und Praxis nutzbringend zusammengebracht und integriert werden. Aufbauend auf dem Talententwicklungsmodell werden fachspezifische Materialen entwickelt, in der Praxis erprobt und formativ evaluiert. Diese Materialien sollen Grundschullehrpersonen in den MINT-Fächern dabei unterstützen, aktiv und strukturiert Leistungspotenziale bei ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern zu suchen und zu finden – Strategien der psychologischen Diagnostik ergänzen die pädagogische Diagnostik im Schulalltag. Die Materialien, die von den Lehrpersonen im Unterricht flexibel eingesetzt werden können, kombinieren unterschiedliche Ansätze wie Verhaltensbeobachtungsmethoden, Interviews und diagnostisches Aufgabenmaterial. Es ist zu erwarten, dass das LUPE-Projekt die diagnostischen Fähigkeiten von Grundschullehrpersonen zur Erkennung (potenziell) leistungsstarker Schülerinnen und Schüler erhöht: Ihre Beobachtungsfähigkeit wird geschult und ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf alle Schülerinnen und Schüler gelenkt – und damit auch auf potenziell besonders leistungsfähige Schülerinnen und Schüler, die ansonsten eher unterschätzt oder übersehen werden. Zudem wird der Unterricht um Situationen angereichert, in denen Potenzial gezeigt und erkannt werden kann. [less ▲]

We present two domain-specific talent development models for mathematics and natural science in elementary school. The models were formulated based on the joined expertise of giftedness researchers and teachers. An extensive search of the scientific literature, as well as several teacher workshops in the context of a nation-wide German teacher training program were conducted. The results show that teachers and scientists share a multidimensional, dynamic view on talent development. The cognitive abilities, personality traits and psychosocial skills related to talent development in mathematics and science are presented. The resulting models can be used as a starting point for the construction of diagnostic material, the training of diagnostic abilities in teachers, and for the promotion of gifted children. [less ▲]
