Yüksek başarılı yetişkinlerin eğitim yaşantılarına yönelik görüşleri ve üstün yeteneklilerin eğitimine ilişkin önerileri
Abstract
Araştırmanın amacı yüksek başarılı yetişkin bireylerin eğitim hayatlarına yönelik görüşleri ve önerileri doğrultusunda üstün yetenekli öğrencilere sunulan eğitim hizmetlerinin niteliğinin artırılmasına ilişkin öneriler geliştirmektir. Araştırma kapsamında, yüksek başarılı yetişkinlerin, eğitim yaşantıları ve karşılaştıkları sorunlara yönelik görüşleri ve üstün yetenekli öğrencilere sunulması gereken eğitim hizmetlerine ilişkin önerileri alınmıştır. Araştırma verileri, olgubilimsel desen çerçevesinde elde edilmiştir. Çalışma grubu, yüksek başarılı sekiz yetişkin bireyden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma verileri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, yüksek başarılı yetişkin bireylerin, potansiyellerini gerçekleştirmeleri için yöneticilerinden, öğretmenlerinden, ailelerinden ve çevrelerinden gerekli destek ve rehberlik hizmetlerini alamadıkları, aileleri ve toplum ile çatışmalar yaşadıkları ve eğitim sisteminin sınırlılıkları ile mücadele etmek durumunda kaldıkları belirlenmiştir. Eğitim sistem ve ortamlarının sınırlılıkları, rol model eksikliği, aile ve toplumla yaşadıkları sorunlara rağmen zorluklarla başa çıkıp başarılı olabildiklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Yüksek başarılı yetişkin bireyler, üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin daha nitelikli eğitim hizmetlerine ulaşabilmeleri için öğretmenlerin ve eğitim sisteminin diğer öğelerinin daha nitelikli hale getirilmesi, aile ve toplumun bilinçlendirilmesini önermektelerdir.

High-achieving adults’ opinions on their educational lives and suggestions about educating gifted students
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to infer suggestions to improve the quality of educational services provided to gifted students based on the high-achieving adults’ educational experiences and opinions. High-achieving adults reflected on their school experiences, the problems they faced with and their struggles as students, and they stated their suggestions related to the educational services that should be provided to gifted students. The research data were gathered through phenomenological design. The study group was composed of eight high-achieving individuals from Turkey. The data were gathered through semi-structured interview forms. Content analysis method was used to analyze the data of the study. High-achieving adults stated that they were not provided with the required support and guidance from their administrators, teachers, families, and environments in order to realize their potentials. They suggested that the instruction should be differentiated through the individual needs of gifted students, and varied instructional methods should be used in order to sustain the multi-faceted development of gifted students.
