Fiorella Chacón Soto
Cogent Education, v11 n1 Article 2397184 2024
This article examines the resources available in Costa Rica for gifted education, employing the Educational Capital (EC) and Learning Capital (LC) frameworks. To accomplish this, a survey was administered to twenty-one seasoned professionals in the field, with questions addressing each type of learning capital. The results highlight a need for enhanced collaboration between the Ministry of Education and various governmental and non-governmental organizations to ensure that gifted individuals receive adequate opportunities to cultivate their talents. Additionally, the study explores the general population's basic perceptions and biases toward gifted individuals, alongside their implicit attitudes, proposing recommendations for further research in this area.
