Abstract

TThe aim of this study was to reveal the interest levels toward the science subjects of gifted/talented primary and secondary students and to evaluate the interest level according to some variables. The research group consisted of total 82 gifted/talented primary and secondary school students who studied at the Science and Art Centre in Hatay, Turkey. In this research, a Personal Information Form that was consisted of 7 questions and “Interest Scale about Science Topic” were used as data collection tool. When the research data was examined, it was seen that the interest levels of gifted/talented students towards science subjects was high. While there were no significant differences between the students’ interest levels toward science subjects according to whether there was a computer at home, the presence of internet at home, the grade level, the number of siblings, the education level of the mother and the education level of the father, there was a significant difference according to the gender variable.
