Üstün Yetenekli ve Normal Gelişen Çocukların Sınıf İçi Etkinliklere Yönelik Görüşleri

Abstract

Çalışmada ilkokula devam eden üstün yetenekli ve normal gelişim gösteren çocukların sınıf içi etkinliklerine yönelik görüşlerinin belirlenmesi ve karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma betimsel nitelikte olup tarama modelinde bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2019-2020 eğitim-öğretim yılı güz döneminde Afyonkarahisar Millî Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı Bilim Sanat Merkezine ve ilkokullara devam eden 289 çocuk oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Sınıf Etkinliklerim Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde yüzde, frekans ve Mann Whitney U Testi kullanılmıştır. Ölçekten alınan puanlar üstün yetenekli çocuklarda 3,59-4,47 ve normal gelişim gösteren çocuklarda 3,79-4,11 arasındadır. Üstün yetenekli ve normal gelişen çocukların puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda, sınıf etkinliklerinin hem üstün yetenekli çocuklar hem de normal gelişen çocukların gelişimlerini destekleyecek ve sınıf etkinliklerine yönelik algılarının olumlu olmasını sağlayacak şekilde yapılandırılması gerektiği söylenebilir.

Perceptions of Gifted and Typical Developing Children on Class Activities

Abstract

In the study, it was aimed to determine and compare the perceptions of gifted and typical developing children attending primary school towards class activities. This is a descriptive study designed in a scanning model. The study group of the research consists of 289 children attending Science and Art Centre (BİLSEM) and primary schools affiliated to Afyonkarahisar Provincial Directorate of National Education in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. My Class Activities Survey was used as the data collection tool. Percentage, frequency and Mann Whitney U Test were used in the analysis of the data. The scores obtained from the scale were found 3.59-4.47 in gifted children and 3.79-4.11 in typical developing children. There was no statistically significant difference between the scores of gifted and typical developing children. In line with these results, it can be said that class activities should be structured in a way that will support the development of both gifted children and typical developing children and ensure that their perception of classroom activities is positive.
