The Scale for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Gifted and Talented Students: Study of Factor Structure, Reliability and Validity
Öz
Th is study aims to develop a nomination scale that helps primary class teachers assess
the possible gift ed and talented students in their classes with their behavioral characteristics.
Within this scope, validity check and reliability analysis studies were done.
Th e study was fulfi lled based on descriptive survey model. As a result of the validity
check of the Scale for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of the Gift ed and Talented
Students (SRBCGTS), it was realized that the gift ed and talented individual perception
of the primary teachers had four factors: creativity, leadership, general cognitive characteristics
and arts. It was also stated that the scale could explain 50.54 %of the total
variance. As a result of the reliability analysis, it was found out that the general scale with
the creativity and leadership sub-dimensions were highly reliable, and with academic
characteristics and arts sub-dimensions were quite reliable.
When the validity and reliability results of the scale are evaluated together, it can be said
that psychometric qualities are quite suffi cient for meeting the necessary criteria so that the
developed scale can be used in the identifi cation process as a supportive instrument and that
classroom teachers can reach an opinion about the potential gift ed students in their classes
by means of using this instrument.
Keywords: Talented, gift ed, teacher rating scales, nomination process, identifi cation,
primary school teachers.
