This paper aims to enhance the demand, visibility, and accessibility of specialised talent development opportunities in gifted education programs by analysing the preferences and decision-making processes involved in strategic management. This research on strategic management highlights the successes and challenges of nurturing exceptional artistic talent from an instructional perspective.
A mixed-methods approach was employed to gather a holistic view of the current state of strategic management of Gifted education in the performing arts through surveys, a literature review, and observational investigations. Google Forms is used as a research tool for conducting the survey. The survey was conducted with 135 teachers from primary and higher secondary schools across the Kaveri Group of Institutes in Pune, India.
Various statistical tools, including the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, percentage, chi-square test, t-test, and F-test (ANOVA), were used in analysing quantitative data. The qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis. The findings highlighted strategies such as dedicated faculty and awareness, which are significant for the successful implementation of the program. This research also provided valuable insights for educators, enabling them to better understand various challenges, such as funding and professional development, as well as differentiated learning during school hours, and to address the need to integrate teacher perspectives into strategic planning for more effective talent development.
