Expert assessment of textbooks is an important component of quality management of the training of gifted students. This evaluation may include a review and analysis of the textbooks, used in working with gifted students and provide a reliable source of information about the quality of the content of the educational materials.

Expert assessment can reflect which topics and concepts meet the needs of gifted students, which methods and approaches can be effective for teaching this category of students, and which resources can be useful for developing their abilities. This data can be used by administrators and educators to improve the preparation of gifted students.

In addition, expert assessment of textbooks can be an important quality management tool when it comes to selecting textbooks and other instructional materials for gifted students. According to the results of the assessment, decisions can be made regarding the selection of the most suitable textbooks and teaching aids, which will help to ensure high-quality and effective training of gifted students.

However, expert assessment of textbooks has its limitations. It can be very expensive and time-consuming. In addition, its results may be limited and not consider students’ individual needs.

It is important to note, that the expert assessment of textbooks is significant not only for gifted students but for the entire education system as a whole. Quality textbooks develop students’ skills and knowledge, allowing them to successfully adapt to the demands of the modern world. Additionally, quality textbooks can reduce the level of differentiation in the quality of education between different regions and educational institutions.

Therefore, expert assessment of textbooks can be an important quality management tool for training gifted students, which will help ensure that they are adequately prepared and develop their abilities
