In het schooljaar 2024-2025 organiseert het Kenniscentrum Hoogbegaafdheid bijna elke maand een international webinar. Tijdens die webinars is Engels de voertaal. Deze webinars zijn bedoeld voor educatieve professionals en zorg- en hulpverleners die beschikken over een brede kennisbasis met betrekking tot hoogbegaafdheid, maar niet over de mogelijkheid beschikken om deel te nemen aan internationale in-person activiteiten zoals grote internationale congressen. Op 15 mei 2025 geeft Franzis Precke het webinar ‘A developmental perspective on giftedness: The Talent Development in Achievement Domains (TAD) Framework’.

Over het webinar

From a developmental perspective, giftedness can be described as a person’s potential to develop above-average performance in certain areas. But what constitutes this potential? What is the role of abilities, personality traits, or acquired psychosocial skills? These and further central questions for understanding potential and its development are discussed by integrating different views from research on giftedness, expertise, and talent development within the Talent Development in Achievement Domains (TAD) framework. The TAD framework is a general talent development framework that can be applied to a wide range of achievement domains. It distinguishes four levels of talent development (aptitude, competence, expertise, transformational achievement), specifies level-dependent predictors and indicators of talent development, and outlines internal processes that lead to interest and success in a domain. In my presentation, I will introduce the TAD framework and present its practical implications for assessing and nurturing potential.
