| Sumario: | Many potentially talented students remain unidentified and unsupported due to resourcelimitations. This study aimed to create a screening tool to identify highly able studentsthrough a brief assessment of Executive Functions (EF). The TEXI questionnaire for EF wasadministered to students in an enrichment program for highly able students (n = 53) andmainstream education (n = 34). Additionally, the CHEXI questionnaire gathered parents’ per-spectives on their children’s EF abilities (n = 28) to check diverse perspectives. Data analysisshowed that highly able students had superior EF abilities, particularly in working memoryand cognitive flexibility. Hence, evaluating EF benefits the screening process for highly ablestudents, and incorporating diverse viewpoints from parents and children can improve itsefficacy. |
