"Author's" Response to Commentaries on "Differentiating Low Performance of the Gifted Leaner: Achieving, Underachieving, and Selective Consuming Students"
Figg, Stephanie
Journal of Advanced Academics, v23 n2 p180-184 May 2012
This article presents the author's response to commentaries on "Differentiating Low Performance of the Gifted Leaner: Achieving, Underachieving, and Selective Consuming Students." The commentaries have focused on two issues: (1) the merits of distinguishing selective consumers from other students; and (2) the quality of the study's methodology. The author is delighted that her article is stimulating discussion regarding the merits of classifying underachieving students. Critical discussion will lead to fresh thinking on the topic, and underachievement certainly needs fresh thinking.
