THE EXPLORATION OF SCIENTIFIC-PEDAGOGICAL THINKING AND THE ASPECTS OF TALENT DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The goal of this study is to examine the views, concepts, and relationships between scientific-pedagogical thinking and talent search or talent development. The author introduces the different interpretations of ability and talent, and presents an overview of the possibilities in cultivating scientific-pedagogy and different ways of implementing talent development. Among other things, the paper points out that skill development and talent development should be a high priority task for teachers, as well as that active participation, meaningful and challenging tasks in talent development programs support the development of children’s abilities.
