Abstract

Gifted students may insufficiently have insight of their problem-solving and lack of certain skills to solve their problems in various areas. Preliminary survey on students in l0th and 12th grade of acceleration program for gifted students reveals that, besides unsuitable teaching methods, mastery of academic content, and incompatibility between academic content and evaluation, most of them have problems in self-regulated learning and personal problems. The problems related to self-regulation mostly are time management and motivational problems. Meanwhile, the students also have personal problems, such as: stress management, emotional control, impulse control (lack of discipline), boredom, tedious life, loneliness, etc. The third highest order of the personal problems are: first, emotional control, second, impulse control (lack of discipline), and then boredom. For the 12th grade, they also face difficulty in choosing the right career suits to their ability and interests. In response to that, counseling in self and career development is designed to improve students' insight and problem solving in those areas. The paper reports the preliminary survey, the design of the counseling and its' effects on students' problem solving. It also discusses some barriers arid alternative suggestions for future intervention.
