Abstract

Her çocuğun doğuştan getirdiği özellikler birbirine benzemekle birlikte, üstün yetenekli çocuklar bilişsel, psikomotor, duygusal ve sosyal gelişim düzeyleri açısından yaşıtlarından farklılık göstermektedir. Bu özellikteki çocukların bilişsel gelişimi kadar duygusal ve sosyal yönden de desteklenmesi, onların sağlıklı bir kişilik oluşturmaları için çok önemlidir. Üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin kendini keşfetmesine yardımcı olan ve psikososyal gelişimini destekleyen mentorluk programı, başta Amerika olmak üzere gelişmiş birçok ülkede uygulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, üstün yeteneklilerin eğitiminde kullanılan mentorluk programını uluslararası bağlamda incelemektir. Doküman incelemesi yönteminin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada, elde edilen bilgiler üç bölümde toplanmıştır. Birinci bölümde üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin eğitiminde mentorluk, ikinci bölümde mentorluk programının uygulama aşamaları, üçüncü bölümde ise yabancı ülkelerde üstün yeteneklilere yönelik mentorluk programları ele alınmıştır. Elde edilen bilgilere dayalı olarak mentorluğun üstün yeteneklilerin eğitiminde etkili bir model olduğu ve mentorluk programının başarılı olması için her aşamasının çok iyi planlanması gerektiği söylenebilir
