Bu araştırmanın amacı, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin üstün yeteneğe ilişkin algılarının incelenmesidir. Nitel bir çalışma olarak kurgulanan bu araştırmada, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak Aydın ilinde bulunan Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’na bağlı resmi ve özel okullarda görev yapan toplam 40 okul öncesi öğretmeniyle görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Görüşme verilerinin analizinde içerik analizi tekniği uygulanmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, öğretmenlerin üstün yeteneği daha çok performans, zekâ, yaratıcılık ve yetenek boyutlarıyla tanımladıklarını göstermiştir. Üstün yeteneğin tanılanmasında, katılımcılar daha çok uzman değerlendirmesinin gerekliliğine vurgu yapmışlardır. Okul öncesi dönemde üstün yeteneğin tanılanması, çocukların akademik ve yetenek gelişimi açısından önemli görülmüştür. Üstün yetenekli çocukların eğitiminde ek etkinlik kullanımı ile ayrı eğitim önerileri sıklıkla vurgulanmıştır. Üstün yetenekli çocukların eğitiminde sınıf ortamlarında yapılabilecek düzenlemelere ilişkin materyal ve öğrenme merkezi kullanımı daha sık dile getirilmiştir. Üstün yetenekli çocukların eğitiminde karşılaşılan çok sayıda güçlük dile getirilirken, bununla birlikte öğretmenlerin kendilerini yeterlik ve donanım açısından zayıf değerlendirmeleri dikkat çeken bir bulgu olmuştur.
