Determination of the Prospective Teachers' Attitudes toward the Education of the Gifted Children

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes of prospective teachers toward gifted children's education. 490 prospective teachers, who are studying at the Education Faculty of Afyon Kocatepe University, participated in the research using correlational and comparative survey methods. 107 (21,8%) of the participants are male, while 383 (78,2%) of them are female. In order to determine the attitudes, ''Giftedness and the Attitudes toward Gifted Education Scale'' (Short-Revised form) was used. The final data were analyzed through ANOVA, Post Hoc, t Test, frequencies and percentages As a result of the study, it was concluded that the attitudes of prospective teachers toward gifted children's education are positive. A significant difference was found out in prospective teachers' attitudes, which are related to ''Needs of the Gifted and Support, and Being Against the Special Services for the Gifted,-one of the sub-dimensions of the scale- according to their departments. Another major difference -in favor of the female teachers- was found after comparing gender-based attitudes of the teachers related to ''Being Against the Special Services for the Gifted''. Besides, a significant difference was found in favor of the ones, who don't take inclusive courses when compared to students who take inclusive courses, in terms of ''Creating Gifted Education Classrooms'' (p < 0.05).
