This study accentuates that each society has its own unique and gifted
ideal type to rise. And also it will be focused on that those special terms of the society
determine the characteristics of that ideal type. In order to get the point, educational
experiences in the Ottoman period will be inspected attentively. By using different
sources, it will be elaborated further that the Ottoman society composed an elective
education not an elitist education. In the Ottoman elective education system, individuals
were elected according to their abilities from Acemi Oğlanlar Quarry (Candidate
Janissaries) to Enderun School. This elective education system might be a model for the
present. Especially it will be investigated how Sinan bin Abdulmennan was discovered
and how he became one of the greatest figures in the architectural area. The main
purpose of this study is to search historical origins of the Ottoman gifted education
system thoroughly if there was any application to adapt for the gifted education in the
present.
