Curriculum Development for Gifted Learners in Science at the Primary Level
Abstract
This article explores the development of a science curriculum for high end learners and learning, based on the Integrated Curriculum Model, that emphasizes concept attainment and research investigation skills for students at the primary level of schooling. Findings from an intervention study suggest that primary age students in low income schools increase content and scientific process skills as a result of the curriculum innovation. Issues of fidelity of implementation and concerns about conducting research in schools are also explored.
Key Words: Curriculum design, gifted education, Curriculum Integrated Model.
