- W25647534 abstract "The Junior College Utrecht (JCU), an initiative of Utrecht University and 26 secondary schools, was established in 2004. It has a dual purpose: to offer a challenging science education to talented 7– 8 year-old (grades and 2) students in an academic environment; to create a laboratory for innovation in science curricula and teaching/learning. Talented and science-motivated students are selected first by the partner schools and then through intake interviews. For two years they follow the JCU curriculum for mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology for two days a week at the university campus while taking other subjects at their respective schools during the remaining three days. This article describes the unique approach of the JCU and reflects on experiences during its first two years. with a science and technology orientation. The idea was based on the belief that current curricula and teaching conditions do not provide sufficient challenges to students with above average ability and interest in science and mathematics. These students are often bored by regular classes and their talents are not challenged by the lessons, which may result in underachievement (Peterson and Colangelo, 1996). They may lose interest in further studies in science and technology or develop study habits that do not fit with the requirements of higher education in this field. Schools feel that they are not able to meet the needs of these students because of current curriculum requirements and the lack of time and opportunities for teachers to offer challenging individual alternatives to bright students. The JCU project is intended to benefit both students and the schools they come from. Therefore the project has a dual purpose: l To offer a challenging science education to talented students from partner schools (grades 11 and 12, ages 17–18) in an academic research environment. l To create a laboratory for innovation in the science curricula and science teaching of the JCU partner schools. The university started negotiations with schools in the region to set up a gifted and talented (GAT) education programme involving cooperation between the university and the schools. As a maximum of 50 per cent of the Dutch upper secondary education consists of science subjects, it was agreed that participating students would be at the JCU for two" @default.
