Abstract

Psychologists, teachers, and all other specialists, who are at least tied to the educational process, have for several decades been concerned with the problems of the theoretical foundations of diagnosis of giftedness, the identification of gifted individuals and the organization of their training, which would be in line with their capabilities and inquiries. An analysis of the experience gained from this problem suggests the possibility of conditionally dividing the directions of its overcoming into several groups. The groups are divided into those that are localized within the institution, go beyond the educational institution, but do not cover the whole country, spread across the country, beyond the borders of one country. These practical actions and the theoretical positions that underlie them are called the special program for gifted ones. Such programs are broader in their content than educational programs, which are only one of their components. Local, regional, state and international special programs for gifted researchers are attracting special attention. In a few decades, countless analytical studies of their positive and negative aspects have been made. The article describes the most famous programs for finding gifted students. The leader in such programs in terms of researchers' attention and theoretical and practical value is the talent search program developed by J. Stanley. The Duke University's Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) holds a leading position as the first “transplant” of the regional model of the talent search for CTM developed by J. Stanley. P. Oljewski-Kubilius described the use of J. Stanley's talent search model at the Northwestern University (USA). The Rocky Mountain Talent Search (RMTS) program at Denver University has also been developed on the basis of the talent search model proposed by J. Stanley. The studies analyzed demonstrate how individual universities, using the J. Stanley talent search model, develop and implement their own search and support programs for gifted youth. In addition, there are programs that aim to identify gifted individuals and offer them educational programs tailored to the specifics of their talents. The Study of Exceptional Talent (SET) program identifies students who demonstrate extreme-developed mathematical abilities and / or verbal understanding and helps them find educational programs of the level they need to maximize their potential. The article presents examples of programs for the search of gifted and talented children in various academic, technical, organizational and artistic fields. At the same time, the main task of finding talents and creating conditions for their effective development is solving the problem of equal access to quality education.
