| Abstract: | This article presents a new, systems theory of creative giftedness. The system has three major parts: the person, the ecological context in which the person operates, and the creative contributions that the person makes. Creative giftedness thus is seen as an interaction between the person, the ecological context, and the tasks that the individual undertakes within that context. Suggestions are given as to how to develop creative giftedness within this theoretical approach. |
