The Color of Gifted Education Research: A 20-Year Content Analysis of Selected Journals.

GIFTED & talented education; CONTENT analysis; EDUCATION research; GIFTED children; EVIDENCE gaps; BLACK students

This content analysis focuses on content from four major gifted journals (i.e., Gifted Child Quarterly, Journal for the Education of the Gifted, Journal of Advanced Academics, and Roeper Review). After applying a priori search and inclusion protocols, a final sample (N = 202) of articles examining Black and Brown students in gifted education were retained. The trends in gifted education research centered on Black and Brown students can be placed into three broad categories: (a) representation, (b) methodology, and (c) focus on National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) standards. The researchers provide implications for equitable gifted education praxis, which include filling the gaps in research on Black and Brown gifted students and methodological considerations.
