Issue Date: | 2006 | Journal: | Infancia y Aprendizaje | Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of acceleration in high ability students in the Canary Islands (Spain). In particular our aim was to investigate whether acceleration had positive effects on a sample of 152 gifted students who had been skipped a grade. These students were distributed across all educational levels, i.e., Primary, Secondary, and High School or further education, and attended both public and private schools in the Canary Islands. A questionnaire was administered to parents, students and teachers in which they were asked to evaluate the effects of acceleration on the student. Based on these results, we analysed 1) if the decision of skipping a grade was considered the best, 2) if the educational resources provided were appropriate for each student's special educational needs, 3) if acceleration had a positive impact on the student's emotional and motivational adaptation to the group, and 4) if high ability students' specific characteristics continued to be perceived the same after being skipped a grade. In addition, we analysed the effects of grade skipping on high ability students' achievement through their school qualifications, and whether they received any individual curricular adaptation at the time. El principal objetivo de esta investigación consistió en evaluar los efectos de la aceleración en alumnos con altas capacidades en la Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias. Concretamente se pretendía conocer si la medida de aceleración tuvo efectos positivos en una muestra de 152 alumnos que habían sido adelantados de curso y estaban distribuidos en los niveles de Primaria, Secundaria y Bachillerato, y pertenecientes a centros públicos y privados. A partir de la valoración que hacen padres, alumnos y profesores, se trataba de analizar si la opción acelerativa de adelanto de curso había sido considerada idónea, si la atención educativa prestada se ajustaba a las necesidades de los alumnos, si esa medida contribuía de forma positiva en los alumnos a la hora de facilitar la adaptación al grupo, y si las características específicas de los alumnos con altas capacidades se perciben de igual manera despues de la experiencia de adelanto de curso. Asimismo, se analizó el impacto de esta medida educativa sobre el rendimiento a través de las calificaciones escolares, y también se analizó si se había desarrollado con este alumnado algún tipo de adecuación/adaptación curricular individual. |
