PLAZA-DE-LA-HOZ, Jesús. Encouraging Social Education for Gifted students: Peer Tutoring. Educación [online]. 2019, vol.43, n.2, pp.644-658. ISSN 2215-2644.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revedu.v43i2.30792.

A sustainable society poses challenges to future generations as well as the educational system. Our globalized technological world requires all sorts of talents. Under this premise, it is important for all individuals, particularly the gifted, to work together to help build a fair and balanced society. But how do we encourage responsibility? This theoretical study addresses the concept of talent and its different models as it is reviewed in literature. It particularly emphasizes Social Education and Learning as it pertains to service. Finally, it reinterprets peer tutoring as a way of encouraging social responsibility among the student body. This may be excellent training, especially for high achievers, to practice proactive, supportive and democratic leadership in the service of concerned communities.

Keywords : Talent Development; Service Learning; Social Education; Peer Teaching; Ethical Mindset.
