Abstract
Over the last twenty-five years the importance of cultural context has slowly gained more standing within the gifted education literature. With the increasing diversity, acceptance and understanding that defines the contemporary Australian community, it is imperative that all people involved in education understand the implications of cultural context for the identification of giftedness, and for working with learners of all ages, whether this be in the classroom, in higher education, or on-the-job training.
This presentation will examine key elements from the literature, consider the Australian context and look at some cultural examples that will highlight the variations in the conceptions of giftedness.
