Perceptions Of Gifted And Non-Gifted Students Related To Their Levels Of Self-Actualization
Abstract
Its sample was chosen by purposeful sampling and was
composed of 253 students in total, 115 of which attended BİLSEM and 138 of
which didnot attend BİLSEM. In the scope of this study, the
‘’Self-Actualization Scale’’ developed by Battal and Şan (2010), was used. Findings: As a result of the study, the
perception levels of the gifted students are higher than non-gifted students in
terms of self-actualization, social relations, creativity, critical thinking,
and emotional integrity. In addition, it was also observed that the students
who attended pre-school have higher perceived levels of self-actualization. Implications for Research and Practice:
According to the results, without overlooking the equality of opportunities in
education, works that will increase the self-actualization perceptions of
students who cannot go to BİLSEM should be included by means of education
programs and concealed curricula. Future studies could investigate why
perceived levels of self-actualization of gifted students were higher than
those of non-gifted students.
Purpose: Self-actualization is understood as an effort to develop a level to which one aspires. Gifted individuals are expected especially to be more likely to reach this level than normal individuals of the same age. The Purpose of this study is to determine the self-actualization perception levels of students at BİLSEM, which is within the Ministry of National Education, and those who did not attend BİLSEM, Research Methods: This study utilizes squantitative research methods in which descriptive methods were used to determine and compare self-actualization perceptions of gifted and non-gifted students.
