High ability student in a perspective of production discourse. Towards a critical revision of gifted education

Abstract

In this article, I will attempt to outline the “production discourse of giftedness” as currently dominant in the global culture of education and related to its neo-liberal roots. Presented considerations employ the critical perspective of discourse analysis and at the same time are inspired by post-Foucaultian approach developed within the field of social sciences, which reveals institutional regimes of practices related to the shaping of expert knowledge, i.a. in the domain of gifted education.
