The present study aimed at investigating the effect of acceleration and
enrichment programs on the learning motivation, achievement and self esteem
of gifted students in the higher basic grades (seventh through tenth grade)
in Jordan. The study sample consisted of (180) gifted students (males and
females) , (91) of them are students who skipped grades in the previous years
throughout Jordan. And (91) gifted and talented students who were enrolled
in King Abdullah II Schools for Excellence.
The researchers developed an instrument for measuring learning
motivation, and used the self- esteem instrument modified for the Jordanian
environment by AL Khatieb (2004) . The two instruments were applied after
their validity and reliability were found reasonable for the purpose of the
study.
The results showed that there were statistically significant differences
(α < 0.05) in favor of the accelerated students in the levels of learning
motivation, achievement and self- esteem. The results, however, showed
that there were no statistically significant differences (α < 0.05) in learning
motivation and self- esteem related to the sex of the student. However, there
were statistically significant differences (α < 0.05) in the achievement level
related to sex in favor of females.
