Title

Teacher And Student Perceptions Regarding The Academic Needs Of Gifted Students: Similarities, Differences And Recommendations

Abstract

The relationship between the perceptions of teachers and those of gifted students regarding gifted curriculum and instructional methods was investigated in this study. An instrument was developed that examined these perceptions related to various methods in gifted education. It was noted that the strongest agreement was found in the promotion of accelerated or advanced classes where both the students and the teachers agreed (average score of 5.1 out of 6). Likewise, it was also noted that students and teachers did not feel that work should be completed more quickly (average score 2.62 out of 6). It was found that encouragement toward advanced studies and increased opportunities to explore topics of interest would also be beneficial while forced acceleration of work would not.
