Formal logic as a salvage procedure to gifted children having maladaptive issues and school failure
Abstract
Reception: October 15, 2015 Accepted: January 6, 2016 This paper addresses the problem of academic failure at school and the emotional problems affecting gifted children since they are facing an environment not prepared for them, both at school and inside their own families. From a case study, I argue that knowledge of formal logic at an early age could significantly promote the development of many of these children in a general way that would benefit them in their intellectual and emotional development. Similarly, one can argue that an individual with special capacity for one of the areas of logic could benefit from knowing it atan early age, regardless of whether his general IQ qualifies him as gifted or not. The very notion of giftedness involves a problem of characterization and measurement also addressed in this paper.References
