| Popis | This study investigates the concept of geographical giftedness, a relatively unexplored area within geography education. As geography gains prominence in educational curricula due to its interdisciplinary nature and relevance to addressing global challenges, identifying and supporting geographically gifted students becomes crucial. The research aims to define geographical giftedness, analyse its characteristics, and explore effective strategies for its identification and development. Methodologically, the study employs a systematic review approach based on PRISMA guidelines. Relevant publications were sourced from Scopus and Web of Science databases using targeted keywords such as "geographical giftedness" and "spatial intelligence." Out of 140 initial records, seven were selected for detailed content and causal analysis. These analyses revealed key traits of geographically gifted students, including spatial intelligence, logical-mathematical reasoning, and the ability to apply geographical knowledge across diverse contexts. The anticipated outcomes include a clearer understanding of geographical giftedness and practical recommendations for educators. The study discusses the role of Geography Olympiads as a platform for identifying and nurturing talent, emphasising their potential to stimulate critical thinking, spatial reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, it advocates for integrating advanced map skills and inquiry-based learning into educational programs to better support these students. By addressing the theoretical foundations and practical applications of geographical giftedness, this research contributes to the development of pedagogical strategies that enable gifted students to maximise their potential. It underscores the importance of tailored educational interventions in fostering critical thinking and spatial awareness, skills essential for tackling complex environmental and societal challenges in the 21st century. |
