Assessment for gifted students8/19/2023 Reliability of the scale was calculated using the split-half (.83) and Cronbach's α (.84). Then, the scale was applied by 50 kindergarten female teachers who have evaluated 539 male and female kindergarten children in the neighborhoods of Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Provenance in Saudi Arabia. The blueprint of the scale was submitted to a jury of specialists in the field of gifted education to decide on its appropriateness and applicability in the Saudi context. To achieve this goal, a blueprint of the scale was developed based on pertinent literature of the behavioral characteristics of gifted children. This study aimed at developing a scale of behavioral characteristics of kindergarten-gifted children to be used in nominating children for gifted programs in Saudi Arabia. The paper concludes by highlighting the implications of employing various tools appropriately for identifying gifted and talented children at an early age in Hong Kong. Students’ general abilities tests and academic and non-academic performances are discussed in the screening section, whilst teacher, parent, peer and self nominations are addressed in the nomination section. The paper continues by examining and comparing two most used means for assessing and identifying gifted children, screening procedures and nominations. This paper begins by reflecting on the current literature pertinent to identification of gifted and talented children. Early and timely intervention is likely to offer young gifted children more opportunities towards fulfilling their perceived potential. Such an early identification is a pivotal issue amongst other pertinent issues in educating the gifted and talented. In order to provide these children with beneficent early intervention so as to help these children realize their potential, it is critical that their giftedness and talents be identified as early as possible. Early intervention is essential in the development of intellectual, emotional, social, oral, and spiritual development of gifted and talented children (Bloom, 1985).
