Scientific Attitude Levels of Gifted Students (A Case from Malatya)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to determine scientific attitude levels of gifted students, and (2) to investigate whether their levels of scientific attitude differ on selected demographic variables. The sample of this survey study consisted of 147 gifted 12-16-year-old students studying in Malatya Science and Arts Center. Data were collected through the “Scientific Attitude Scale” developed by Battal and Gürgan (1998). The reliability coefficient was calculated as 0.708. Frequency and percentage tables, t tests, analyses of variance and chi-square tests were employed to analyze the data. Results showed that scientific attitude levels of gifted students are high and do not differ on gender, monthly income, level of parental education, and occupational status of mothers. According to chi-square test results, some differences between observed and expected data were detected and reported in the paper. Finally, some recommendations were made to develop scientific attitudes of gifted students.
