In today’s fast-paced research environment, where new studies emerge rapidly and policy decisions are expected to be evidence-based, the gap between scientific knowledge and educational practice is becoming increasingly pronounced. Unfortunately, the field of education offers limited guidance on how to facilitate this kind of two-way exchange. In the absence of such structured translation, misconceptions can take root-among both researchers and practitioners-fueling persistent misunderstandings. This narrative review addresses several enduring myths in gifted education that have emerged from this disconnect. These myths, often grounded in outdated or misinterpreted research, have contributed to the formation of self-fulfilling prophecies in gifted and talented education (GATE), reinforcing inequities and limiting student potential. Some of these beliefs have become deeply embedded in educational culture, making them exceptionally resistant to change. The paper concludes with a call to action: to foster more deliberation and reciprocal communication among researchers, educators, and families. Only through such collaboration can we dismantle entrenched myths, correct misunderstandings, and ensure that the most current and accurate research insights lead to meaningful, equitable practices in classrooms and beyond.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Эффективное внедрение результатов научных исследований в практику и обеспечение того, чтобы практики могли не только применять научные выводы, но и предоставлять обратную связь относительно их значимости в реальных условиях, является важной, но сложной задачей. В современной динамичной исследовательской среде, где новые исследования появляются быстро, а политические и образовательные решения должны основываться на доказательствах, разрыв между научным знанием и образовательной практикой становится все более заметным. К сожалению, сфера образования предлагает лишь ограниченные рекомендации относительно того, как организовать такой двусторонний обмен информацией. При отсутствии систематического механизма трансляции знаний как среди исследователей, так и среди практиков могут укореняться ошибочные представления, которые подпитывают устойчивые недоразумения и заблуждения. Рассмотрены несколько распространенных мифов в области образования одаренных детей, возникших вследствие этого разрыва между наукой и практикой. Эти мифы, часто основанные на устаревших данных или неверной интерпретации исследований, способствовали формированию самосбывающихся пророчеств в образовании одаренных и талантливых учащихся (Gifted and Talented Education, GATE), усиливая неравенство и ограничивая потенциал обучающихся. Некоторые из этих убеждений настолько глубоко укоренились в образовательной культуре, что оказываются исключительно устойчивыми к изменениям. Статья завершается призывом к действию: необходимо развивать более глубокое обсуждение и взаимный обмен мнениями между исследователями, педагогами и семьями учащихся. Только благодаря такому сотрудничеству можно преодолеть укоренившиеся мифы, исправить распространенные заблуждения и обеспечить, чтобы наиболее актуальные и достоверные научные данные становились основой содержательных и справедливых образовательных практик как в школьном классе, так и за его пределами.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Gifted and talented education (GATE)</kwd><kwd>evidence-based practice</kwd><kwd>selffulfilling prophecies</kwd><kwd>educational decision-making</kwd><kwd>research-practice gap</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>образование одаренных и талантливых учащихся (GATE)</kwd><kwd>доказательная практика</kwd><kwd>самосбывающиеся пророчества</kwd><kwd>принятие решений в образовании</kwd><kwd>разрыв между исследованиями и практикой</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Ackerman, P.L.
