Un fenomeno davvero curioso.

Mi sono trovata molte volte a dover difendere con pubblicazioni sull’argomento i benefici, dimostrati dalla ricerca di decenni, della pratica dell’accelerazione nella gifted education.

Il professore James Borland, del Teachers College della Columbia University, nel suo libro “Planning and Implementing Programs for the Gifted”, ci dice quanto segue:

“Acceleration is one of the most curious phenomena in the field of education. I can think of no other issue in which there is such a gulf between what research has revealed and what most practitioners believe. The research on acceleration is so uniformly positive, the benefits of appropriate acceleration so unequivocal, that it is difficult to see how an educator could oppose it.”
