COMPREHENSIVE GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING FOR GIFTED CHILDREN THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF MILGRAM’S MODEL IN ACCELERATION-INCLUSION SETTING
ABSTRACT: Acceleration program
is claimed to be designated for gifted children. However, the implementation of
the program is still considered sporadic and exclusive. This study aims at
developping a comprehensive guidance and councelling for gifted child using
Molgram’s model in acceleration inclusion setting. The research question is “
how is the development of comprehensive guidance and counseling for gifted
children through Milgram’s model in acceleration-inclusion setting applicable
and affective?". This research applied mixed methods as its design which
utilize research and development as the umbrella in three phases. The first
phase, a preliminary study which produced a hypothetic model. The finding shows
that comprehensive guidance and councelling for gifted children in
acceleration-inclusion setting (the model) can be constructed based on home,
school, and community; it can be implemented to non-gifted, mildly gifted,
moderately gifted, and profoundly gifted children, focusing on general critical
thinking, specific creative talent, general intelligence, and specific
intellectual ability. The comprehensive guidance and councelling should also
implement assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation as well as
integration with context. The second stage was the conceptual and empirical
validation, which generated an operating model to be tested for its
effectiveness in the third stage.
