Article Selection

[edit]

Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

[edit]
Article title
Gifted education
Article Evaluation
Very solid international overview of gifted education. I think more information could be useful in the practices of gifted education including sections like Homeschooling, Pull-Out and Summer Programs. There is already a discourse on the talk page about Homeschooling.
Sources

https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2008-01728-000 - Homeschooling
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.4219/jsge-2006-682 - Summer Program

Option 2

[edit]
Article title
Academic acceleration
Article Evaluation
This article needs work and is even classified as C-Class but Low Importance by WikiProject Education. Covers a wide range of topics but none indepth so there is plenty material to add under the Types section.
Sources
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.4219/jeg-2006-247 - acceleration and non-acceleration outcomes
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1932202X1002100202 - guidelines for programs

Option 3

[edit]
Article title
Cluster grouping
Article Evaluation
Weak but interesting topic coverage over wide range including critiques. Could use discussion of racial and socioeconomic inequalities and failures in gifted programs like this. No talk section.
Sources
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1076217511415381 - modern overview
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0016986219833738 - demographic critique

Option 4

[edit]
Article title
Gifted pull-out
Article Evaluation
Seems slanted on the problems and limitations of the practice. Could be useful to add more simple overview of how the system works and its implementations.
Sources

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/001698629103500208 - Pull Out

Option 5

[edit]
Article title
Tracking (education)
Article Evaluation
Very solid overview of tracking in education, the benefits and drawbacks and practices. There is a section on proposed reforms which could benefit from maybe a larger policy overview of school systems of sorting students.
