Du said in regard to his research onstudent perceptions of PBL: “The study also revealed that while a PBL setting highlights learneragent engagement, students, particularly those new to PBL, may still believe instructors are themajor source of authorized knowledge, which may hinder their ability to take agentic actions.These results have pedagogical implications that both educators and students need to be awareof. Educators can support learner agency by increasing students' PBL knowledge, skills, andefficacy to help them navigate individual and collective self-directed learning” [12].Some academically gifted students in traditional educational settings are not challenged to suittheir abilities as gifted programs are erased from school
