Abstract

Bu çalışmada, öncelikle üstün yetenekli kavramı ele alınmış ve üstün

yeteneklilik modellerinden bahsedilmiştir. Sonrasında ise matematikte üstün

yeteneklilik ile ilgili yapılan çeşitli çalışmalara yer verilmiştir. Ülkemizde özellikle

yakın geçmişte üstün yeteneklilik ve dolayısıyla matematik alanında üstün

yeteneklilik alanına ilgi artarak devam etmektedir. Benzer şekilde Dünyada da

araştırmacıları çeşitli platformlarda bir araya gelmeleri, üstün yeteneklilik ve

yaratıcılık ile ilgili farkındalığın arttığının bir göstergesi olarak alınabilir. Literatürde

özellikle son yıllarda üstün yeteneklilik modelleri gündeme gelmektedir.

Bu modellerin matematik eğitimi alanına da çeşitli yansımaları olmuş ve hala

da olmaktadır. Sonuç olarak son 10 yılda matematik eğitimi alanında üstün yeteneklilik

ile ilgili çeşitli modeller öne sürülmüştür. Çalışmalar incelendiğinde

genellikle matematikte üstün yeteneklilik ve yaratıcılığı kavramlarının bir arada

olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca matematik eğitimi literatüründe, üstün yeteneklilik

ile ilgili çalışmaların çeşitli açılardan hala göz ardı edildiği de söylenilebilir.

Keywords

Üstün yeteneklilik, üstün yeteneklilik modelleri, matematikte üstün yeteneklilik, yaratıcılık, matematiksel yaratıcılık, matematikte üstün yeteneklilik modelleri
