Introduction: Early screening for mathematically gifted students (MGSs) in Jordan and other Arab countries is limited, posing challenges in identifying and providing appropriate educational services. This study evaluates the validity and reliability of the Arabiya Calculation Test and Math Curriculum-Based Measurement (M-CBM) as tools for effectively screening and supporting MGSs in inclusive education settings. These tools were developed based on the Jordanian curriculum and international assessment tools and require further validation for use in other Arabic-speaking countries.
Methods: A quantitative research design was employed, using the Arabiya Calculation Test and M-CBM to assess 78 MGSs in grades 3, 4, and 5 across three schools in Jordan. The tools' reliability and validity were evaluated, with findings specifically limited to these grades. Performance differences among students and correlations between the two measures were analyzed.
Results: The findings demonstrated that both the Arabiya Calculation Test and M-CBM are valid and reliable tools for identifying MGSs. These tools effectively differentiated performance across grades 3, 4, and 5. In addition, the significant correlation between these two measures supported their validity in identifying gifted students.
Discussion: The results have important implications for educational practice and policy in Jordan and similar Arab countries. Accurate identification of gifted students may facilitate tailored instruction and enrichment programs, improving the experience of inclusive education. These assessment tools offer the potential to identify gifted students early and meet their needs within an inclusive school environment.

This qualitative study explores the interactions among gifted students' vulnerabilities, stressors, supports, and coping mechanisms at a public, high-achieving residential high school. Qualitative interviews ( = 12) revealed that teachers caused stress by (a) failing to provide academic challenges and/or (b) failing to support students' diverse identities; conversely, teachers provided support when they were available, enthusiastic, and understanding. Further, peers added stress through class rank competition but fostered support through accepting diverse identities and building friendships.

Speech and language deficits often occur in preschool children, and empirical studies have indicated an association between language impairments and challenges in different cognitive domains. The primary aim of the current study was to evaluate the associations between speech and language deficits, executive function (EF) impairments, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and aspects of giftedness in Greek preschoolers based on assessments from their teachers. Investigating the associations between aspects of EFs, ADHD, and giftedness was another objective of the current study.
