Abstract :

This proposal outlines an adapted model for secondary Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) based on Gagné’s Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent (DMGT), aimed at nurturing the unique aptitudes of gifted learners. In recognizing the distinct needs of these students, the model integrates individualized learning paths, enhanced curriculum rigor, and project-based learning opportunities. The identification process uses comprehensive assessments to tailor educational plans. This ensures personalized engagement and progression that culminates in personal development. The proposed model focuses on adopting enhanced curricula in advanced fields such as robotics to prepare gifted students for future industry demands. Project-based learning, facilitated through partnerships with local industries, bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application. Continuous professional development for educators and mentorship programs further supports the effective implementation of the model. This approach aligns with future trends in TVET, emphasizing practical competencies and competence-based learning.
