Determining the Attitudes and Opinions of Gifted Students on Grammar

Abstract

Talented, different, and creative thinking individuals are needed for the sociological and economic development of societies. One of the groups with these characteristics is gifted children. In Türkiye, gifted students continue their formal education in education environments called Science and Art Center (SAC). While gifted students go to school with their peers, they continue their education by going to the SAC after school or on weekends. In this study, it is aimed to determine the attitudes and views of gifted students towards grammar. The study group of the research consists of 51 secondary school students from a SAC in Türkiye. The study was carried out on the axis of mixed method. The "Grammar Attitude Scale Towards Secondary School Students" developed by Er and Topçuoğlu Ünal (2016) was used as quantitative data collection tool. In the collection of qualitative data, the "Semi-Structured Interview Form" developed by the researchers was used. SPSS 25 program was used in the analysis of quantitative data, and content analysis was used in the analysis of qualitative data. The results show that, the attitudes of gifted students towards grammar do not differ significantly according to grade level, gender, school type and Science and Art Center program. In addition, it has been determined that the majority of gifted students think that learning grammar is not necessary or difficult, and that the majority of students do not find the grammar activities in Turkish textbooks sufficient. In the context of the results obtained in the study, some suggestions were offered.
