An investigation on the mathematics teaching programs for gifted students based on teachers' opinions

Abstract

This study reflects teachers' opinions about the mathematics teaching programs for gifted students. As a method, " a case study", which is qualitative research, was used to reveal the existing problems related to a problem or situation in detail and to offer solutions. During the academic year 2022-2023, a study was conducted in Türkiye with 57 mathematics teachers who work with gifted students in support education rooms and Science and Art Centers (SAC). Data were collected using a structured interview form prepared on Google Forms. The content analysis method was used to interpret and make sense of the data. Participants' opinions on the educational needs, teacher competencies, mental and physical characteristics of gifted students, software use and mathematical proof processes were analyzed and various results were obtained. In this study, to increase the effectiveness of the program, it was suggested that the program should be updated by taking teachers' opinions into consideration, differentiated and enriched activities should be prepared by integrating technology, workshops should be equipped, and in-service training should be provided in various fields. It was also suggested that it would be beneficial to use a common program accepted all over the world in the education process of these children. Recommendations also include a common pathway for students, directing them to universities in line with their abilities and creating specific employment opportunities after graduation.
