Parental Involvement-Based Educational Activities in Home Economics to Enhance Flow and Adaptive Intelligence in Gifted Children with (ADHD) A Climate Change Perspective at the Green Library

This study aimed to investigate the impact of educational activities based on parental involvement in enhancing flow (a state of deep engagement) and adaptive intelligence in gifted children with ADHD, addressing family concerns related to climate change.The sample consisted of 12 children (male and female) identified as gifted (Stanford-Binet IQ Test, with a mean IQ of 134.12 (SD = 2.38). Their ADHD severity was measured using the Conners’ Test, yielding a mean score of 63.67 (SD = 1.50) for the experimental group.A quasi-experimental single-group design was employed. Family concerns related to climate change were identified and categorized into 11 themes within the domain of home economics. Parental involvement-based activities were designed around these themes, adaptive Intelligence Test: Assessed creative, analytical, practical, and wisdom-based skills.Flow Scale: Measured immersion in activity, challenge-skill balance, sense of control, and emotional bonding. The results,statistically significant differences (at p < 0.01) were found between pre- and post-test scores of the experimental group on the Flow Observation Checklist and Adaptive Intelligence Test (overall scores), favoring post-test results. The effect size (η²) was large, indicating substantial practical significance.

The study recommends integrating parental involvement-based activities in both public and domestic settings to foster adaptive intelligence and flow states in gifted children across all categories. Emphasis should be placed on home economics domains that align with family life and climate change-related concerns.
