Assessing Artistic and Problem-Solving Performance in Minority and Nonminority Students Using a Nontraditional Multidimensional Approach.

Clasen, Donna Rae; And Others

Gifted Child Quarterly, v38 n1 p27-32 Win 1994

This study investigated several nontraditional identification methodologies for their efficacy in identifying both minority and nonminority gifted students. Sixth graders (n=433) were given drawing and problem-solving tasks. Peer and teacher nominations were also used. The assessments identified a proportionate number of minority and nonminority students with potential in art or problem solving. (Author/DB)
