Equity in Education: A Talent Development Perspective
Education is of critical importance to individuals and societies, in that it promotes individual development and economic success. Education is also viewed as an important mechanism for addressing society inequities and providing pathways to success for individuals who are marginalized. Gifted education has frequently been criticized as being elitist and inequitable, because it is seen as helping those who have already achieved academic success. However, using a talent development lens, education can be seen as equitable across the whole range of achievement. A talent development approach is premised on several tenets: (a) providing an appropriate education to all students; (b) ensuring that all students have the opportunity to move up to the next level; and (c) recognizing that academic growth is not linear. Using the talent development megamodel as a framework, this presentation will highlight why equity in education and gifted education are not incompatible.
Prof. Dr. Frank C. Worrell received a BA and a Masters in Psychology at the University of Western Ontario and a Ph.D. in School and Educational Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. Currently, he is a Distinguished Professor in the School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley, where he serves as Faculty
Director of the School Psychology program, the Academic Talent Development Program, and the California College Preparatory Academy. He also holds an affiliate appointment in the Social and Personality Area in the Department of Psychology. His areas of expertise include academic talent development/gifted education, at-risk youth, cultural identities, scale development and validation, teaching effectiveness, time perspective, and the translation of psychological research findings into school-based practice. In his research, he examines the role of psychosocial constructs as risk and protective factors in relation to students’ educational and psychological functioning. In 2022, Prof Worrell was President of the American Psychological Association (APA)

Der Vortrag findet am 19.09.2024 (09:00 – 10:15) statt.
Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Gräb-Schmidt: Jede Einführung neuer Technologien – und manche sprechen ja von der künstlichen Intelligenz und Digitalisierung von einer neuen Kulturtechnik – bedeutet immer einerseits Fortschritt, andererseits aber ist auch mit Verlust herkömmlicher Fähigkeiten zu rechnen (Deskilling). Damit ist Ethik immer auch ein Umgang, eine Umgangsschulung mit technischer Kreativität.

Vier Dimensionen der Schultransformation durch Deeper Learning: Zeit, Raum, Team und Assessment
Prof. Dr. phil. Anne Sliwka: Deeper Learning fungiert als Motor für die zeitgemäße Transformation von Schulen. Diese Transformation bezieht sich auf vier Schlüsseldimensionen: Zeit, Raum, Team und Assessment. Zeitlich betrachtet, schaffen Schulen neuartige Rahmenbedingungen für Unterrichtsphasen, die Wissensaneignung, Ko-Konstruktion und authentische Leistungen integrieren.
