title: Gifted and talented: fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade students' evaluations of a gifted program.
abstract: A pull-out program for gifted students was evaluated in reports (qualitative evaluations) from a sample of 60 program participants from the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. The students identified six areas in their evaluations: cognitive aspects, program satisfaction, self-expression, self-esteem, boredom, and learning environment. Students who identified cognitive aspects of their program also were likely to identify program satisfaction and not being bored. Statements about opportunities to be self-expressive were made more by girls than by boys and more by fifth and sixth graders than by fourth graders.
