Meta-Analyses and Review of Research on Pull-Out Programs in Gifted Education

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of pull-out programs in gifted education. Nine experimental studies were located that dealt with pull-out programs for gifted students. The variables of self-concept, achievement, critical thinking, and creativity were quantified via meta-analysis. The results indicate that pull-out models in gifted education have significant positive effects for the variables of achievement, critical thinking, and creativity. However, gifted students' self-concepts were not affected by the pull-out programs.
