ÜYÜKEP Programının Üstün Yetenekli Öğrencilerin Öz-düzenleme Becerilerini Geliştirmeye Etkisi

Abstract

The success of gifted education increases if the structures of giftedness phenomenon are formed especially for the gifted students. Gifted children should no longer be educated to bear the burden of knowledge but they should be educated to contribute to the emergence of competence. Education Program for Gifted Students Bridge with University (EPGBU) is a program designed to train the gifted students in the academic field. EPGBU has self-regulation skills among the curriculum components. Self-regulation skills are the skills that individuals must acquire in all fields of competence, not just in the education of the gifted scientists. In this study, the changes in the self-regulation skills of the 19 third and fourth grade students in the first step of EPGBU were examined. The research was carried out as a single group pretest-posttest experimental design during the 12-week period in the spring semester of 2013-2014 academic year. As a result of the implementation, self-regulation skills of the gifted students who continued the EPGBU were increased. Consequently, it can be said that this program, which is designed to improve self-regulation skills of the gifted students, is effective.
