- W1740619336 abstract "This thesis focuses on high ability students and the effects of Saturday and summercourses on their academic and social development. These students who have beenidentified through assessment are in the top 5% of the population academically. Afterqualifying from the assessment they are invited to participate in courses run by theIrish Centre for Talented Youth (CTYI) at Dublin City University and other collegesaround the country.This study looks at students who have participated on these programmes and theirparents in relation to the impact of these courses on their academic and socialdevelopment. Results show that participating students and their parents have asignificantly higher level of academic satisfaction with classes at CTYI compared toschool. Furthermore the parents and students perceive themselves to have a morepositive attitude towards attending CTYI classes compared to school. Both parentsand students within this study note a lack of academic challenge at school and believethat they receive little support from their classmates in relation to their ability. Parentstend to rank their children’s ability as much better than their peers in all academicsubjects while most of the students rank themselves as much better in selectedsubjects. Students and parents within the study are mostly comfortable with theiracademic ability although this is seen to decline slightly as the child gets older. Mostof the parents and the students who have attended special classes for high abilitychildren are somewhat uncomfortable with the term gifted to describe their ability." @default.
