MURCIANO RUBIA, F., 2024. Del concepto superdotación al constructo altas capacidades intelectuales. Implicaciones en las políticas educativas, la interpretación normativa y la atención a este alumnado. ADIDE-Federación. Revista de la Asociación de Inspectores de Educación de España, no. 42, ISSN 1885-0286.

The construct of High Intellectual Abilities includes terms such as giftedness, precocity, genius, talent, and twice-exceptional, encompassing a heterogeneous population with diverse educational needs. Since 1970, legal frameworks in Spain have sought to ensure adequate support for these students. This article examines the implications of specific terms and theoretical models for giftedness in interpreting legal frameworks and implementing educational policies, as well as their impact on the support provided to these students. It also reviews decisions by educational authorities to identify and implement tailored measures. The article contrasts research on high abilities with existing legislation and policies in Spain, analyzing identification data, the role of active associations, intervention programs, and their impact on students' development. Finally, it highlights the role of educational inspection as a guarantor of the best interests of the child, proposing teacher training guidelines and setting the stage for future analysis in special and post-compulsory education.


KAUFMANN KAPPARI, E.H., 2024. Life Stories of Teenagers Who Committed Murder. Criminal Act, Writing and Art. Colectivas, parlantes y populares: algunas juventudes y violencias en México y otros países latinoamericanos (Youth and Violence in Mexico and Other Latin American Countries). Iberoamericana, Vervuert, pp. 177-191. ISBN 978-84-9192-456-2

The document analyses the life stories of teenagers who committed murder in Costa Rica, highlighting social exclusion, the lack of institutional support, and the structural violence that led them to commit the crime. It argues that murder is not an individual act but a social one, the result of a system that does not respond to people's needs. Through stories and theoretical references, the author proposes writing and art as alternatives for reintegration, enabling the construction of a sense of identity and a connection with society. The effectiveness of the penal system is called into question, and more humane and creative approaches are favoured.
