Abstract

Background and Objective: High-quality educational services and the design of specialized programs to identify students' interests and talents contribute to enhancing their academic achievements and personal growth. By implementing effective management systems, kindergartens can create an environment conducive to nurturing children's talents. The aim of the present study is to design an educational framework based on talent development in children.

research methodology: This research is applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of data collection. The study population consisted of experts and university professors specializing in child education, talent management, and child development. The data collection tool was semi-structured interviews. To assess the validity of the interviews, expert evaluations were used, and for reliability, a sample of interviews was selected and coded twice within a short, specified time interval. The inter-coder agreement between these two rounds of coding served as the basis for calculating reliability.

Findings: The results indicated that the educational system model based on nurturing children's talents includes six dimensions: philosophical and educational goals, content and curriculum planning, human resources, financial resources, technology and innovation, and evaluation and quality assessment. Additionally, it encompasses seventeen components: educational philosophy, educational goals, curriculum objectives, curriculum content, teaching-learning strategies, teacher training and support, teacher characteristics, preschool director characteristics, targeted budgeting, provision of educational resources, investment in technology and innovation, talent identification tools and data analysis, teacher training in technology, multidimensional assessment, formative (process-oriented) assessment, collaborative assessment, and diverse assessment tools .
