Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye’de alanda görev yapmakta olan Bilim ve Sanat Merkezi (BİLSEM) öğretmenlerinin görüşlerine başvurularak ülkemizde özel yeteneklilerin eğitim kalitesinin geliştirilmesi için neler yapılabileceği sorusunun cevabını belirlemektir. Bu çalışmada, nitel araştırma yaklaşımlarından yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu; 2022-2023 eğitim öğretim yılında Konya merkez ilçelerinde bulunan Bilim ve Sanat Merkezlerinde alanda görev yapmakta olan 30 öğretmenler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada görüşlerine başvurulan öğretmenlerin belirlenmesinde amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden biri olan tipik durum örneklem modeli kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Toplanan veriler içerik analizine uygun olacak şekilde çözümlenmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda, BİLSEM'lerde fiziksel donanım eksiklikleri, öğretmen yeterlilikleri, bireyselleştirilmiş eğitim süreçleri ve hizmet içi eğitimlerin yetersizliği, özel yetenekli öğrencilerin gelişimini olumsuz etkileyen temel faktörler olup, bu sorunların çözülmesi için öğretmenlerin sistematik ve uygulamaya dayalı mesleki gelişim programlarına katılımı, öğrenci merkezli öğretim yaklaşımlarının benimsenmesi ve fiziksel koşulların iyileştirilmesi gerektiği sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlar ile alanyazında var olan sonuçların yüksek oranda örtüştüğü görülmüştür.

The aim of this study is to determine the answer to the question of what can be done to improve the quality of education of gifted students in Turkey by referring to the opinions of Science and Art Centre (BİLSEM) teachers working in the field in Turkey. In this study, semi-structured interview method, one of the qualitative research approaches, was used. The study group of the research consists of 30 teachers working in Science and Art Centres in the central districts of Konya in the 2022-2023 academic year. Typical case sampling model, one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used to determine the teachers whose opinions were consulted in the study. A semi-structured interview form was used as a data collection tool. The collected data were analysed in accordance with content analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that physical equipment deficiencies, teacher competencies, individualised education processes and inadequacy of in-service trainings are the main factors that negatively affect the development of gifted students in BİLSEMs and that teachers should participate in systematic and practice-based professional development programmes, adopt student-centred teaching approaches and improve physical conditions in order to solve these problems. It was observed that the results obtained in the study overlapped with the results in the literature.
