This study aims to find
out the problems of gifted students, who are educated at Science and Arts
Centre (SAC), for their career choices and impact of digital media they use on the
choices in the process of ‘Special Skills Development Program’. The career
choices of gifted students in a digital perspective constitute the basic
framework of this research. Semi-structured interviews based on purposive
sampling were conducted with a total of 20 students, 10 of whom were girls and
10 boys, who continued their ‘Special Skills Development Program’ at İzmit
Science and Arts Centre in Turkey by using case study from qualitative research
approach. In the study, it was concluded that gifted students used digital
media to investigate occupations they had previously determined; however the
right guidance would be very significant because of their worries through career
choices and thus social media literacy would be needed at SAC.
