The current study aimed to determine the awareness of teachers from different branches about the characteristics of gifted students and to examine whether this awareness varies significantly depending on gender, graduated faculty, professional experience, education level and branch. The study used the relational survey design, one of the quantitative research methods. The study group was comprised of a total of 448 teachers (297 women and 151 men) from different branches. The participants were selected by using the purposive sampling method. A questionnaire and a personal information form were administered to the teachers working in schools across different cities in Turkey in the second term of the 2022-2023 school year through digital platforms. The obtained data were analysed using the SPSS 20 software program. The study revealed that the teachers' awareness of the characteristics of gifted students is at a medium level, and it was determined that the variables of gender, graduated faculty and education level do not affect this awareness, but the variables of professional experience and branch make a significant difference. In this context, it is recommended to design various activities to increase teachers' awareness of the characteristics of gifted students and determine the effectiveness of these activities through qualitative or mixed methods.
