Impact of ICT on students with high abilities. Bibliographic review (2008-2018)

Abstract The students with high abilities process information differently, as a high creativity and involvement in their tasks are found among their personal characteristics. This implies the need for conducting specific educational interventions, within which some theoretical models have shown the effectiveness of the ICT. The aim of this work was to analyze the scientific production in the shape of articles on the ICT as a support for the learning of students with high abilities, during the 2008–2018 period in five databases: Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, Google Scholar, Education Resource Information Center (ERIC) and PsycINFO. A descriptive and quantitative methodology was used to present the most significant bibliometric data (citation index and impact), as well as the analysis of co-words, and the visualization of the relationships between words or terms through bi-dimensional bibliometric maps. A total of 725 documents were analyzed, from which 92 KW+ were obtained. Among the conclusions, a medium-low impact index is underlined, as referring to the number of articles published in the five databases, as well as the citations received. With respect to the thematic network of interrelations of studies on ICT and high abilities, these are being thematically linked with the importance of the Technologies in the classroom, the curriculum, the family's participation and the training of teachers.
