social talent artistic talent manuality, professional skills sports, dance Intellectual talent, research, innovativity Definition of talent… we need to find in what area she/he has talent
Types of talent • the „good” (the successful) • the debatter • the deviant • the hiding • the unbalanced • the autonomous learner www.alps-publishing.com
How can we recognize talent? • tests • competitions • creative tasks • real life projects (complex tasks • + cooperation) increasing complexity
the top the best the successful the actives the interested Talent pyramid(s) We have ~60 pyramids! • we need the base (20%) to have the top (1-2%) • base: little support for many; top: a lot to a few • we never know the hidden talent • motivation-based and joint development-based trusting bonds • talent support must start at birth By concentrating only to the top,we will loose talents
Long-termneuronalcontacts Neuronaldeletion neuronaldevelopment By concentrating only to the end,(universities) we will loose talents
3 roles in science Innovators:few links to hubs, small traffic, re-routing, very flexible, needs global network info Managers:hub, large traffic, info distribution, flexible (many game strategies), needs local network info Problem solvers: few links, small traffic, problem solving (dissipation), rigid, needs local network info
Creativity and schools • Creative solution is non-conform • Creativity many times can not be tolerated • (creative driver, surgeon) • Solution? • stop creativity: impetus is lost • re-direction! (psychology, kung-fu) • Re-direction of creativity needs creativity • (Talent support needs talent.)
Tasks of successful talent support • help the best type of talent • find the bottleneck • support the parents, friends, etc. • avoid burn-out: regenerate
Questions of successful talent support • separation or integration? • Korea • academic acceleration • (Ema Oliveira; grade) the example of gymnastics • selection or self-selection? • selected elite • part of the crowd • integrative personality • social responsibility • talent utilization • cooperation of ‘super-individuals’
