The issue of giftedness has been of interest to mankind since ancient times. Many attempts have been made to explain this phenomenon for such a long time. There are at least a dozen concepts and even more definitions of the idea of "giftedness" at the moment. However, modern psychology and pedagogy have not come to a consensus on the definition, diagnosis, preservation and development of giftedness. The development of giftedness is a trend in modern technological education. The issue of national security of the country, the transition to the highest stage of the post-industrial economy development – the "knowledge economy", the demand for a "successful" person – all this determines the relevance of the problem under study. Educational institutions need a single integrated approach to the development of students' technical and artistic talents in technological education, which would meet the needs of each specific school. Focusing on the national importance of the issue of student giftedness, the need for comprehensive work with gifted students and the lack of methodological elaboration, the aim of this article was to develop an integrated approach to supporting and developing the giftedness of students of technical and artistic orientation in technological education. The detection and development of giftedness is a complex, multidimensional and lengthy process that requires an integrated approach to the organization of special psychological and pedagogical conditions. Working with the learner's abilities involves psychological support that takes into account his/her individual characteristics. This study was conducted on the basis of the Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University and Ushinskaya Secondary School in the Kondinsky District of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra in 2021-2024 and was devoted to the development of an integrated approach to the support and development of technical and artistic talents of students in technological education in an educational institution. It has both theoretical and practical significance. The theoretical conclusions drawn as a result of the work suggest a shift in emphasis in the existing curriculum in favor of extracurricular activities and additional educational programs. They also open up new possibilities for the application of these programs in the future. The practical materials developed during the research will be useful for teachers at schools and organizations of additional education working on the development of students' abilities of technical and artistic orientation in technological education, both as methodological support and as learning materials for advanced training.
