Concept of giftedness as a non-conventional constituent of modern education of students of minor groups.
Abstract
A gifted person may have experience or views that are beyond the prevailing social norm. First of all, that can be applied to minority groups. Their representatives may include individuals from cultural or religious groups, disabled people, etc. However, the literature does not support the assumption that gifted people can be found in such groups. Also, the experience that is different from the dominant culture is considered to be unacceptable. At the same time, there is little evidence in the scientific literature about the essence of giftedness of these groups.References
