Abstract

The Philippines, a gegraphically and ethnolinguistically diverse country, has long undertaken initiatives in identifying and educating gifted individuals. In the past decade, research has been scanty in investigating indigenous conceptualizations of giftedness. The preponderance of psychometric assessments in identifying gifted individuals was noted in previous studies. Nonetheless, this chapter discusses the influence of more recent conceptualizatons of giftedness related to developmental and cognitive theoretical explanations. Moreover, this research delves into conceptions of giftedness within a cultural context and underscores the critical influence traditional culture, values, and practices have on these conceptions.
