Academic (under)achievement of intellectually gifted students in the transition between primary and secondary education Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
In the last decade, the Achievement Orientation Model (AOM) of Siegle and McCoach has often been used to quantitatively explore different pathways for academic achievement among intellectually gifted students in educational settings, mostly in secondary education. To study the dynamics of the different components in the AOM, we further examined the inhibiting and facilitating factors associated with academic achievement as experienced by ...
Training effects on Belgian preschool and primary school teachers' attitudes towards the best practices for gifted children Universiteit Hasselt
Lack of knowledge of effective educational interventions for gifted children is a pressing problem in Belgian schools. Most preschool and primary school teachers enter the profession without any training in the best practices for gifted children. This results in many misconceptions about giftedness and gifted education and a diversity of well-intentioned but ineffective interventions in the classroom. In response to the request for help from ...
Unlocking potential : enhancing motivation and engagement of cognitively gifted students in regular secondary school settings Universiteit Gent
Stimulating and developing talents of all young people is an important goal of education and student counseling. Educational policy in Flanders already pays extensive attention to students with specific educational needs. However, to ensure that our society can remain innovative and prosperous, it is important to focus education and student support also on students with outstanding cognitive abilities. This dissertation revolves around the broad ...

Teachers-in-training perceptions of gifted children’s characteristics and teacher-child interactions: An experimental study KU Leuven
Extending research on the ‘disharmony stereotype’, we examined teachers-in-training’s perceptions of gifted children’s characteristics and their expected teacher-child interactions. Also, we investigated whether adding context information that contrasts the impaired social functioning of gifted students could buffer teachers’ stereotypes. An experiment was conducted (N = 522 teachers-in-training), using a 2 × 2 × 2 between-subjects-design. ...
Problem Posing and Solving for Mathematically Gifted and Interested Students Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Mathematics and mathematics education research have an ongoing interest in improving our understanding of mathematical problem posing and solving. This book focuses on problem posing in a context of mathematical giftedness. The contributions particularly address where such problems come from, what properties they should have, and which differences between school mathematics and more complex kinds of mathematics exist. These perspectives are ...
Fitted strong stability-preserving schemes for the Black-Scholes-Barenblatt equation Universiteit Antwerpen
We solve numerically a fully nonlinear Black-Scholes problem of Bellman type. The algorithm is focused on the so-called Delta greek, the first spatial derivative of the option price. Since the elliptic operator degenerates on the boundary we use a fitted finite volume discretization in space. Strong stability-preserving time-marching is further applied in accordance to the nonlinear nature of the differential problem. Numerical experiments ...
