Description
  • The study focused on differences in information behaviour between intellectually gifted and average children in the pre-literate age. The main objective of the study was to examine how information behaviour, especially in the form of asking questions, is expressed in gifted children in the pre-literate age, and how it differs from information behaviour in children with average intellectual abilities. In order to meet the pre-literacy condition, participants were chosen from children starting their first year of school (aged 5 to 7). Findings: The obtained data were analyzed qualitatively, using methods of content, frequency and linguistic analysis. During the analysing process all questions generated by the gifted group were compared to the questions generated by the average group according to previously established criteria. The results of the pilot study clarify what kind of information behaviour gifted children probably engage in during experimental situations where information needs are activated, but also whether there might be a connection between the readiness to ask questions and the level of intellectual ability, and whether this readiness could be a good predictor of information behaviour. Conclusions: No direct connection was found between the children’s level of intellectual ability and either their response latencies in the stimulus situation, or the number of spontaneously generated questions. Gifted children’s responses more likely reflected their level of interest aroused by the stimulus material. Preliminary results suggest that questions asked by gifted children in response to a single stimulus encompass greater thematic diversity compared to average children, who prefer to stick to one single aspect (e.g. external appearance) of the stimulus.
