Research Trends for Gifted Care in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan: A Systematic Review of the Literature 2014-2024

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The study aimed to explore research trends in the field of gifted care, and to reveal the most commonly used research practices (methodology and procedures) in Jordan for the period 2014-2024. The study followed the descriptive analytical approach, and used the (PRISMA) appendix as a tool to limit and include studies. It included 177 studies. The results revealed a set of research trends arranged in descending order as follows: personal and social characteristics of the gifted, assessment, educational and pedagogical practices, thinking skills, effectiveness of various strategies and programs, mental health and social adaptation, detection and identification services, implicit theories among stakeholders, developmental perceptions, and some other axes. It also revealed that the quantitative approach and tools are the most commonly used, and gifted students are the most targeted samples. The study recommends the necessity of using more in-depth research methods in studying phenomena, using qualitative tools to collect data, and avoiding stereotypes in scientific research.
