The GiftED doctoral programme will, on behalf of the Swedish Research Council, develop knowledge on gifted education with regards to pupils in Swedish pre-school, primary school and secondary school, a field that is relevant to teacher education as well as to research in educational sciences.
To more optimally stimulate pupils who easily achieve goal attainment in school, we need more extensive knowledge about gifted student education. Ten doctoral students will study and build capacity for these needs in the Swedish education system. They will receive supervision, education, and subject specialisation with three new doctoral-level courses - theories on gifted pupils and learning, inclusive teaching and differentiation for gifted preschool and school pupils, and mental health in gifted pupils.
