Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to broaden and deepen the knowledge of basic topics of giftedness with a focus on natural sciences in childhood. We build on the educational content of a number of psychological and pedagogical disciplines of the Master's program with the aim of linking theoretical knowledge about talent with pedagogical practice. In the subject, talent is conceived as an optimal relationship between the individual's possibilities on the one hand and the conditions of the social and social environment in which the child grows up on the other. Therefore, the subject emphasizes personal developmental and social cultural approach to talent. Personality-developmental approach is based on humanistic psychology and reflects the questioning of the psychometric tradition in the issue of talent. The cultural and social approach to talent and the determinants of talent development accentuate environmental impacts and are based on the cultural roots of this phenomenon. The main axis of the course is the following topics: models of talents - searching for gifted - developing talent with a focus on natural science. In this course, we apply the theory of MI H. Gardner to the school practice of primary education and ideas about science intelligence as a relatively independent kind of talent. The individual topics we focus on are: Changes in the definition of giftedness during the 20th century, approaches and models of giftedness, types of giftedness, traits of gifted pupil, science giftedness Gifted pupil personality, problems of gifted pupils, gifted parents, family and school relationship Theory of multiple intelligences of H. Gardner and its application in school practice Creating a system of searching for gifted at school, identification strategies, identification and selection of gifted, pedagogical and psychological search methods Developing talent at school and in the family, organizational and content forms of education of gifted, recommended teaching methods when working with gifted Legislation, institutions, companies and organizations supporting the development of talent in the Czech Republic
