"Paradoks edukacyjny" - uczniowie zdolni z grupy wysokiego ryzyka

Abstract

The juxtaposition of high abilities and high risk in children’s behaviour which is the leitmotiv of this article, was treated in the category of specific educational paradox. The author tried to show that gifted and talented children and youths who have roots in the high risk group and are endangered of social marginalization, have a big potential and are not only ungifted in a stereotypical perception. Gifted and talented children and youth who are disruptive, or violent, or delinquent, or underachievers are an educational paradox worthy of explanation in a search for new and adequate solutions and explanations.
