The Terms Used in Gifted and Talented Education in Turkey, Relevant Legal Framework and Educational Practices
Abstract
Giftedness/talentedness is one
of the areas that is not fully defined yet, and its meaning and scope are
highly debated in parallel with the concept of intelligence. Discussions about
how giftedness/talentedness can be conceptualized, identified, supported and
predicted are still ongoing. The concept of giftedness/talentedness and the
initial studies on the education of talented and gifted pupils seem to extend
to Plato. In this study, firstly the definitions of leading names in the field
about giftedness were examined and then field-specific terms were tried to be
described. Many documents especially The Constitution of Turkish Republic,
laws, decree laws, by laws, circulars and the Convention on the Rights of the
Child have been examined in relation to the topic. In terms of the practices in
the field of education, the Ottoman Empire period was briefly reviewed and information
about the practices in Turkey was given. As a result, despite all the work
mentioned, it has been found that there are various problems in the education
of gifted and talented children and in supporting their skills. In order to
solve the problems experienced by talented and gifted children in Turkey, it is
necessary to develop a government policy regarding the education of talented
and gifted children.
