This study determined the effect of
children's literature texts addressed through bibliotherapy method on one of
the superior thinking skills, the problem solving skill, of the gifted/talented
students. Gifted/talented students show different development characteristics
compared to their peers. This requires
supporting those students and ensuring their improvement. This study aims to
introduce the bibliotherapeutic approach, and to transform the children's
literature texts selected taking into account the characteristics of gifted/talented
students into a model, and to identify the effect of this model on the
problem-solving skills of gifted/talented students. Among the quantitative
research methods, the study used pretest-posttest uncontrolled
semi-experimental model - since there was only one analysis group in the study.
The study group consists of Science and Arts Center students diagnosed as
gifted/talented. Since this research constitutes an experimental study, a study
group was identified rather than a study population and sample. A
problem-solving skill scale was used to evaluate the problem solving skills of
gifted/talented students. The research findings showed that, in conclusion of
the application, there occurred an increase in problem-solving skill levels of
the gifted/talented children in the study group.
