Summary of Know More about Giftedness Unit 2
Unit 2 of the "Know More about Giftedness" core program focuses on the whole person development of gifted students.
whole person development (WPD) refers to education that considers all aspects of an individual's being - physical, emotional, social, and intellectual.
WPD is important as it helps students develop a well-rounded sense of self, physical health, emotional intelligence, social skills, and cognitive abilities.
The world is moving towards the idea of multiplicity, all-roundness, and comprehensiveness, making the traditional concept of unitary no longer applicable.
The core components of the WPD framework include core values and attitudes, mindset empowerment, life and career skills, learning skills, and literacy skills.
To achieve WPD, students can participate in physical education programs, art programs, social-emotional learning programs, service learning programs, and domain-specific academic programs.
When participating in WPD programs, students should set realistic goals, engage in healthy competition, and reflect regularly on their learning experiences.
