Abstract     Talent is an expert system designed for physical education (P.E.) teachers in their advising children and their parents on choosing sports which are best suited to children's potentials. In the current phase of development, the system is based on measurements of the so-called Sport Card, which has been used for many years in practically all primary and secondary schools in Slovenia. The system provides an estimation of children's morphologic and motoric dispositions for their involvement in 23 sport branches and disciplines. The evaluation is based on models constructed by experts for individual sports. The system runs under Windows 3.1 or later operating system. It includes interactive help in the Slovenian language. Apart from the installation and usage instructions, the User's manual also contains the description of some basic facts on talent identification and its practical realisation. This paper presents the system's architecture, functioning, and modes of use as well as practical experience gained by P.E. teachers while using the system on a sample of Slovenian primary and secondary schools.
