Karabulut, Ridvan; Ömeroglu, Esra
International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, v13 n2 p1756-1777 2021
The study aimed to develop a measure that enables gifted children to be picked out in early childhood through the nomination of teachers. In order to collect the data, a conceptual framework based on Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences was set to identify gifted children. Once the conceptual framework was created, a 64-item framework consisting of typical characteristics of gifted children was designed, and presented to experts' opinion. In line with expert opinion, the framework was finalized as a 50 item data collection tool. The participants of the study were composed of 365 teachers in different kindergartens and primary schools in the city centre of Kirsehir, Turkey. As a result of the data analysis, a nomination scale, the validity and reliability of which were tested was developed.
