DAROVITOST, TALENT I KREATIVNOST U ODGOJNOM PROCESU

The notions of giftedness, talent and creativity are not synonymous, and a distinction in their definition and identification can increase the quality of work with children in the educational process, as well as contribute to the better exploitation of their potential. This paper draws on different authors and their theories and methods of defining and identifying giftedness, talent and creativity. Although these capacities occur in different percentages within the population, they can be additionally developed both in identified and unidentified individuals, so they are not allowed to stay undisclosed or unrealised in those individuals who were not motivated to develop their abilities. Indications such as genetic predisposition or the possibility of influencing individuals by means of the so-called enriched environment suggest opportunities which can be used by the school system as well as by the methodologies of different subjects. Although society tries to keep its gifted and talented individuals on its margins due to their difference and provocativeness, it is on such pupils that the development of society dependsDarovitost, talent i kreativnost kao pojmovi nisu istoznačnice, a njihovo razlikovanje u određivanju i identificiranju može povisiti kvalitetu rada s djecom u odgojnom procesu i iskorištavanje njihovih potencijala. Navodimo različite autore i njihove teorije te metode odreñivanja i identifikacije darovitosti, talenta i kreativnosti. Iako se ove sposobnosti pojavljuju kod populacije u određenim postocima zastupljenosti, moguće ih je dodatno razvijati kako kod prepoznatih tako i kod neprepoznatih pojedinaca, pa i omogućiti da ne ostanu nezapažene ili nerealizirane kod onih koji nisu bili motivirani u razvoju svojih sposobnosti. Indikacije kao što su genetska predispozicija ili mogućnost utjecanja na pojedinca takozvanom obogaćenom sredinom sugeriraju nam mogućnosti koje može iskorištavati i školski sustav kao i metodike pojedinih predmeta. Iako se društvo trudi držati darovite i kreativne pojedince na svojim marginama zbog njihove različitosti i provokativnosti, ipak baš o njima najviše ovisi razvoj tog društv
