V prispevku so predstavljena sodobnejša spoznanja s področja razumevanja nadarjenosti in izobraževanja nadarjenih učencev, ki se omejujejo na psihološke vidike njihove obravnave. Osnovni diskurz se povezuje z vprašanjem razumevanja pojma nadarjenosti ter z utemeljitvijo pravice nadarjenih učencev do izobraževanja na ravni njihovih učnih potreb in potencialov. V okviru Mega modela razvoja nadarjenosti je pojasnjeno, da je razumevanje razvojnih značilnosti fenomena nadarjenosti ključno za kakovostno inkluzivno poučevanje nadarjenih učencev. Poleg izjemnih potencialov je zato izpostavljeno tudi motiviranje nadarjenih učencev, ki vsebinsko zaokrožuje prispevek in bralca spodbuja k premisleku glede konkretnih pedagoških pristopov, s katerimi bo lahko kakovostno prispeval k izobraževanju nadarjenih.
