A Study of Identification and Achievement Profiles of Performance Task-Identified Gifted Students Over 6 Years

Joyce VanTassel-Baska, Annie Xuemei Feng, and Elizabeth de Brux

This study examined the trend of identification and achievement patterns of performance task-identified students over a span of 6 years (2000–2005), in comparison to profiles of students who were identified exclusively through traditional ability and achievement tests. The study findings suggested that the performance-based protocols were consistent across time in locating a higher percentage of low-income and minority students, as well as female students for gifted programs; a higher percentage of students with uneven verbal-nonverbal strengths were performance task-identified students also. Performance task-identified students scored significantly lower than traditionally identified students on both the English and math portions of the state assessment test for multiple years; however, the performance differences on state assessments were small, rendering small effect sizes.
