ABSTRACT: The primary objective of the present
research study is to examine the implications of the implementation of an
innovative program for the creation of learning stimulation in a challenging
environment, through riddles, on the perception of the learning experience in
its different aspects. Previous research studies maintain that in a different
learning environment, the students’
achievements will be different. One of the goals of the present research study
is to examine whether an identical challenging environment creates different or
similar results among a population of children with difference in their intelligence
level, or in a focused manner, between the achievements of gifted and talented
students and students in the traditional learning environment.
