Abstract
Conceptualization of Talent in Sport. The purpose of this paper is to present the interdisciplinary problem of giftedness and talent in the Slovene elementary school system and attempt to meaningfully interpret the terminology of both terms for the field of sport education. Despite the considerable attention paid to researching the changing understanding of giftedness in relation to talent, talent in sports environments and the applicable value of conceptualization are still not known. One reason for this is that sports talent has not been adequately defined in the Slovenian program and legislative platforms.
Highlights
For high general ability to achieve outstanding results in several fields at the same time, we use the term “giftedness” and for highly specific skills that lead to success in specific fields, we use the term “talent” (Bates, Munday, 2005; Bezić et al, 1998; Gagné 1985; 1991; 2003; 2005)
If (i) high general intelligence, (ii) creativity, and (iii) personal characteristics (Renzulli, 2016) are required to demonstrate giftedness in the general field, this is not entirely the case when we are talking about talent
We are talking about a talented individual in the sports field, when he/she reaches the motor, psychomotor or sensorimotor skills of the top 10% in the reference group and is distinguished primarily by precision, sensitivity, movement skills and abilities, accuracy of observation, hearing, sense of movement, etc. (Vaeyens et al, 2008)
Summary
Ključne besede: nadarjenost, talentiranost, športna vzgoja, osnovna šola. Keywords: giftedness, talent, sports education, elementary school. Da posameznik, ki ima razvito specifično nadarjenost (talent) na gibalnem področju, ima omenjene gibalne sposobnosti in spretnosti zelo dobro razvite ter jih zna ustrezno uporabiti za doseganje vrhunskih športnih dosežkov. Športnem oziroma gibalnem področju lahko tudi diferencirana, kjer seveda ni treba izvajati vseh drugih diagnostičnih korakov (test inteligentnosti, test ustvarjalnosti), kot jih predvideva Koncept Odkrivanja in dela z nadarjenimi učenci (1999). V zadnjih letih so se tako razvili številni programi, pri katerih identifikacija oziroma selekcijski postopek temelji na znanstvenih dognanjih ter na številnih testih različnih sposobnosti (tehnične, taktične spretnosti) in lastnosti (antropometričnih, gibalnih, fizioloških, biokemijskih, psiholoških). Kot pripomoček vsem vključenim pri spremljanju razvoja športnih talentov je bil v našem sistemu za posamezne športne discipline razvit računalniško podprt sistem »Talent – ekspertni sistem za usmerjanje otrok ter mladine v športne discipline« (Bohanec idr., 1997; Škof in Bratina, 2016). Številni strokovnjaki sicer zagovarjajo zgodnje odkrivanje športnih talentov, vendar sosledno opozarjajo na prezgodnji postopek odkrivanja, saj s tem tvegamo večjo možnost napak zaradi hitrega in nepredvidljivega razvoja pri mlajših otrocih
