Dr. A. Catherin Jayanthy, Dr. J. Sujathamalini

Abstract :

 Giftedness may be inherited or manifested; children do talk or act spontaneously, expressing their internal urge to do something great. Early recognition and encouragement may improve the quality, failing which results in disastrous personality traits. Parents and teachers should understand them properly and should be responsible to provide a learning environment conducive to their success. 100 prospective teachers are selected for the present study using simple random sampling. Their pre knowledge on giftedness was assessed. Out of 100, 35 prospective teachers were identified as low knowledge on gifted children and they were presented with teaching competency based self instructional modular package for gifted children. At post stage the results indicated the prospective teachers had gained knowledge on giftedness and improved their teaching competency on giftedness. Thus, the study indicate the need to enrich teacher training programmes with the concept of giftedness and to impart teaching competency among prospective teachers to handle children with giftedness.
