It is written from a descriptive and compiling point of view, presenting different research works which can mean a scientific contribution for the field of giftedness.
The interest shown by professionals, particularly those from the educational field, and parents has fully made up for the effort made to coordinate every contributor's work in this book.
Yolanda Benito, Head of : "HUERTA DEL REY" educational and psychological Center, which works in collaboration with the Psychology Department of Valladolid University, tries to show a psychopedagogical orientation and intervention appropriate for gifted children's special educational needs. It must be had in mind that the very aim is not to get extraordinary adults but happy children.
The Psychology and Pedagogy sciences concerned in the field of giftedness are presently showing an extraordinary development.
The area of study of this book, as well as the conceptual models and methodology used by its researchers, have been progressively enlarged and diversified. Due to this fact, many old prejudgements and comments have been banished, and new ways and paths for researching and implementing education have arisen.
