Η τεχνική της αυτονομίας και η αρχή της εμβάθυνσης στην εκπαίδευση χαρισματικών μαθητών μέσα από ένα μάθημα με θέμα το νερό.

Abstract

Different levels of enrichment were used in this lesson for teaching gifted students (2nd- 6th grade) water's cycle.  The lesson was conducted in Charismatheia' s extension program and was focused on water's properties and its importance on the emergence and preservation of life on the planet and civilization. The first level of enrichment (content enrichment) was achieved by interdisciplinarily linking school's curriculum's content to new information. The second level (skills enrichment) prioritized critical and creative thinking as well as information literacy, communication and interdependence. In the third level of enrichment the emphasis was given on autonomous learning. Students' working with autonomy provided the opportunity for differentiation, that can also be used in teaching gifted students in multilevel classrooms. Students were engaged in the procedure through a gamification setting, while they achieved deepening into the major concepts by  interpreting them by already known physical phenomena.  In a second level of extension, lesson's primary goals (states of matter and water's circle) were attributed to a macro-concept, that of system, through experimental demonstrations.
