ÖZEL YETENEKLİLERİN FARKLI ÜLKELERDEKİ EĞİTİMİNE İLİŞKİN EĞİTSEL BİR ELEŞTİRİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı özel yetenekli öğrencilerin farklı ülkelerdeki eğitimlerine ilişkin eğitimlerini, eğitsel bir eleştiri perspektifinde ele almaktır. Çalışma, nitel araştırma tekniklerinden literatür tarama ile hazırlanmış betimsel bir çalışmadır. Literatür tarama süreci, özel yetenekli öğrencilerin eğitim uygulamalarının araştırmacılar tarafından incelenmesi ile şekillenmiştir. Ülkelerin özel yeteneklilerin eğitimlerine ilişkin incelemeler yapıldığında, birey odaklı bir anlayışın ortaya çıktığını, ilgi ve özelliklerin dikkate alınarak gereksinimlere göre hareket edildiğini söylemek mümkündür. Araştırma sonucunda ortaya çıkan duruma göre incelenen ülkelerin, özel yetenekli öğrencilerin eğitiminde uyguladıkları yaklaşım ve çalışmalar; hızlandırma, zenginleştirme, öğrencinin yetenek durumuna göre gruplama (özel sınıflar), normal sınıflarda (gruplama, kaynaştırma-bütünleştirme) eğitim ve özel okulların öne çıktığı dikkat çekmiştir.
