National Program for Gifted Identification

Introduction

Based on the keenness of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz - may God have mercy on him - and the unlimited interest and support given by the wise leadership in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in all matters related to the field of identifying and caring for the talented, and the need to unify and develop the efforts made at the present time to discover the talented and innovators, the idea of adopting a joint national program implemented by the most important national bodies with long experience and qualified cadres in this field came, which consolidates the deep belief in the importance of discovering this important and special category in supporting the transformation of the Kingdom's society into a knowledge society in which sustainable development is achieved.

The strategic partnership began in 2011 with Mawhiba, the Ministry of Education, and the National Center for Assessment to establish and implement the “National Program for the Identification of Giftedness” through standardized tools and measures. A model for the identification of giftedness was developed based on an advanced scientific methodology that relies primarily on the most important scientific foundations and best educational practices to ensure the proper selection of promising gifted students. Through this, a huge and comprehensive database was built for all gifted men and women in all regions and cities of the Kingdom and for all age groups in the stages of general education.

Objectives

To identify talented male and female students in the Kingdom in the fields of science and technology.
Developing an integrated system and a comprehensive methodology for identifying gifted individuals.
Achieving justice and fairness in selecting the gifted student and directing him to the appropriate care program for him.
Building a comprehensive and detailed database of gifted students in the Kingdom.
Contributing to raising community awareness of the characteristics of gifted people and the importance of discovering them.
Contributing to enriching scientific research sources and the Arab library in the field of identifying gifted people.

Behavioral traits of gifted people

Behavioral traits of the gifted

Talent nurturing begins the moment it is discovered, and its discovery begins with noticing some of the paradoxes that appear in the child from the first years, but there are some practices and behaviors that may affect the response of the talented and create a kind of ambiguity that hinders observations. While most talented people have similar behavioral traits and characteristics, their translation depends on internal and external factors (psychological and social) that affect the child’s response.

As a specialized entity in discovering the gifted, “Mawhiba” summarizes the most important behavioral traits that a scientific team and experts specialized in talent have agreed upon. Every father, mother, and teacher should be aware of these traits and check them in their children or students. If they notice some or all of them, they should direct the child to register in the “Mawhiba Scale for Multiple Mental Abilities,” which is held annually with the aim of discovering and nurturing talent.
