“超常教育”“英才教育”“天才教育”“资优教育”辨

Conceptions of Gifted and Talented Education

本文通过对“超常教育”“英才教育”“天才教育”“资优教育”等概念的辨析 ,认为“超常教育”过于偏重智力而忽视其它方面的能力 ;“英才教育”是为“少数人集团”服务的教育 ,而他们中间不一定个个都是“英才” ;“天才教育”则过于强调先天遗传的因素 ;而“资优教育”则相对较为科学与合理。因此 ,笔者建议 :统一使用“资优教育”这一概念。

The Chinese conceptions of gifted and talented education are always confusingly used. The paper identifies four Chinese conceptions, including supernormal children education, elitist education, gifted education and talented education. These four terms lead to different implications, in view of the intelligence, minority and inborn. The discussion finally concludes 'Ziyou Jiaoyu'.as the term for gifted and talented education.
