Modelos educativos : la aceleración escolar. Durante años ha sido la forma más utilizada para responder a las necesidades de los niños y jóvenes superdotados. Con este método se busca colocar al niño superdotado en algún curso más avanzado, teniendo en cuenta su edad mental. [...] En la primaria, la aceleración ha significado sustituir el curso del alumno por uno más avanzado. Otra variante de este modelo es la admisión en el primer curso a una edad más temprana de lo estipulado. 1, record 2, Spanish, - aceleraci%C3%B3n%20escolar
