Attention to talent in Cuba

Talent is an individual cognitive premise developed by the individual in a certain area of knowledge or in several of them. The attention to talent in educational institutions is a process of great relevance that demands from the teacher well-designed strategies for its identification, stimulation and development. Raising their academic abilities requires the relationship between intelligence, creativity and motivation, as aspects that characterize the behavior of talent and constitute the essential core for its formation. This book offers a theoretical analysis and an empirical evaluation of the attention to talent in the context of the Pre-university Vocational Institute of Exact Sciences in Cuba. It is the result of a project associated to the Sectorial Program "Cuban Educational System. Perspectives of development" of the Ministry of Education.
