Abstract

Programs of education for gifted children may be contrasted with enrichment programs. They are distinct in their implementation, in the characteristics of their teachers and students, and in their underlying conceptualization. This article describes a program evaluation based on open-ended interviews, presents interview schedules, and outlines methods of analysis and interpretation.
