Special Needs, Giftedness and Counselling

Advanced Studies in Special Needs, Giftedness and Counselling: With the basis of the study in “Special Needs, Giftedness and Counselling: Global Perspectives”, this course is intended to enable students to explore a topic of particular professional and/or personal interest in the field of Special and Inclusive Education, Giftedness or Counselling, through critical reflection on existing theories, practices and policies which are drawn from international and local sources. Students will also carry out a small scale empirical investigation of this topic.

Creative and Critical Thinking, and Problem Solving: Based on the idea that giftedness is advanced intellectual ability, this module examines the cognitive strategies involved in creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving as both distinct and related cognitive processes. An important aspect of this discussion concerns the relationships between thinking and intelligence. The module will consider the research methods behind the study of these three types of processes as well as the cultural differences in the developmental and recognition of advanced ability. The module will then evaluate a number of education programmes and current pedagogical practices for their potential effectiveness in meeting the intellectual needs of high ability students.

Social-emotional Development and Special Needs: This module focuses on the social and emotional development of students with special educational needs by tracing the nature of healthy social and emotional development and by showing the ways in which school based education can contribute to this.

Special Needs, Giftedness and Counselling: Global Perspectives: This course is intended to enable students to develop a critical analysis of Special and Inclusive Education, Giftedness and Counselling, through critical reflection on existing theories, practices and policies drawn from international sources.

Supporting Parents and Families with Diverse Needs: This course examines the needs of parents and families which might need additional support, such as new immigrant families, lone-parent families, low income families, ethnic minority families, cross-border families, domestic violence, and families with children with special education needs. Local and overseas models and strategies of support and counselling for families with different needs will be reviewed and evaluated.
