- Pedagogical strategies for teachers in mentoring gifted students in higher education institutions(2024-10-23) Quintero Gámez, Lorena Alicia; Sanabria Zepeda, Jorge Carlos; Tecnológico de Monterrey; Universidad de AlicanteAddressing the educational needs of gifted students in Mexico is increasingly important for harnessing their potential and fostering social and economic progress. Higher education in Mexico faces the challenge of providing inclusive and equitable education for all students, particularly for those with high abilities. Despite the potential for these students to contribute to social and economic development, there is a lack of consensus on the definition and identification of students with high abilities, leading to inadequate support and limited opportunities for their growth. This study aims to address the importance of recognizing and fostering the exceptional abilities of students with high abilities in areas such as science, technology, creativity, and leadership. By providing guidelines and strategies for identifying, understanding, and supporting these students, this research contributes to faculty training in higher education institutions. The results of the literature review underscore the need for differentiated and specialized educational approaches, including mentoring, to promote the holistic development of students with high abilities. By actively engaging in the development of these students, faculty can ensure that they reach their full potential and make meaningful contributions to society as future leaders and professionals.
- ESports for the gifted and talented: a case study of a high-performance university programme(2024-10-23) Quintero Gámez, Lorena Alicia; Sanabria Zepeda, Jorge Carlos; Lefèvre, Saint-Clair; Lagos Pérez, Eder Manuel; Tecnológico de Monterrey; Universidad de AlicanteESports are emerging as relevant cultural and economic phenomena, especially among young audiences. This trend is associated with the promotion of several skills among players, including teamwork, strategic thinking, and problem-solving. However, the potential of eSports as a means to identify and develop gifted and talented students remains relatively unexplored. To this end, this study examines the relationship between eSports and the identification and development of gifted and talented students in a specific higher education context. Following a case study methodology, the activities, performance metrics and selection criteria of an eSports programme on a university campus in Mexico were analysed. Initial results suggest that eS-ports not only enhance cognitive skills and social interactions, but also provide a supportive environment conducive to the development of gifted learners. Yet, there are opportunities in the process of recruiting potential gifted and talented students. The ideas presented in this paper aim to provide educators and policy makers with innovative approaches on talent development, and serve as a fundamental step towards integrating eSports into educational strategies to identify and support gifted and talented students in higher education.
