Sanborn, Marshall P.; And Others
The Research and Guidance Laboratory for Superior Students at the University of Wisconsin which offers educational procedures and guidance for Wisconsin students, grade 9 through college age, is described and research reviews, as well as 70 abstracts of research conducted in the laboratory are included. The program is discussed in relation to teacher identification of students, a yearly visit by students to the laboratory, and laboratory staff visits to cooperating high schools. Included are identification criteria used by teachers and a seven step procedure used by one high school to select students for the program. Methodology for appraising capabilities of students is described in four abstracts on analysis of personal documents, seven abstracts on actuarial methods of prediction, and two abstracts on oral problem solving. Descriptions of students are given in 14 abstracts on characteristics, two abstracts on grouping preferences, and four abstracts on curricular preferences. Unusual classroom and curricular provisions for gifted students in high schools are described tabularly and in 16 abstracts. Nineteen abstracts are devoted to counseling and guidance procedures, which are additionally considered in relation to such aspects as work with parents and a team approach. Post high school choices and achievements are covered in 19 abstracts and in subsequent discussions on areas such as self concept and career choice. Appendixes include a second year information form, oral problems exercises, and test scores for grades 9 through 12. (MC)
