Üstün Yetenekli Öğrencilerin Problem Çözmeye Yönelik Yansıtıcı Düşünme Becerilerinin İncelenmesi: Gümüşhane Örneği

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin problem çözmeye yönelik yansıtıcı düşünme becerilerini incelemektir. Çalışmada karma araştırma yaklaşımı benimsenmiştir. Çalışmanın nicel kısmındaki katılımcılar 2013-2014 Eğitim öğretim yılı güz döneminde Gümüşhane ilinde öğrenimine devam eden 31 üstün yetenekli öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın nitel kısmı ise bu öğrenciler arasından problem çözmeye yönelik yansıtıcı düşünme becerilerine göre seçilen altı üstün yetenekli öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda, çalışmaya katılan üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin problem çözmeye yönelik yansıtıcı düşünme becerilerinin “çoğu zaman” düzeyinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin problem çözme süreçlerinde nedenleme ve değerlendirme becerilerini yoğun bir şekilde kullanmalarına karşın sorgulama becerilerini daha az kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir.
