八十年代以来,美国著名心理学家布卢姆及其助手们用了五年时间,对美国六个领域内120名出类拔萃的英才进行了调查,在这些英才中,有钢琴家、雕塑家、奥林匹克游泳运动员、网球冠军、数学家和神经病学家,他们的年龄都在35岁以内,每个人卓越的才能和杰出的成就都达到了当今世界第一流水平。布卢姆通过研究发现,尽管音乐家、运动员、科学家各自的活动领域不同,但他们的才能发展过程却有惊人的相似之处,并存在着共同的成长规律。他认为,这些英才成长的模式,在相当程度上适用于普通学校和一切人的学习。英才成长的模式是什么呢? Since the 1980s, the famous American psychologist Bloom and his aides spent five years investigating 120 outstanding talents in six fields in the United States. Among these talents, there are pianists, sculptors, Olympic swimmers, tennis champions, mathematicians and neurologists, all of whom are under the age of 35, each of whom has the highest level of excellence and outstanding achievement in today’s world. Bloom’s research shows that although musicians, athletes and scientists have different fields of activity, there are striking resemblances between their talent development processes and the common law of growth. In his opinion, the patterns of growth of these elites are to a large extent suitable for the study of ordinary schools and of all people. What is the model of excellence growth?
