Main Article Content
Abstract
This study was conducted in order to evaluate Ministry of National Education Secondary School Mathematics Curriculum according to the opinions of mathematics teachers who work in Science and Art Centers in terms of gifted students’ education. The study group consisted of 111 mathematics teachers working at 52 Science and Art Centers which located in six regions of Turkey in 2017-2018 academic year. In this study, a quantitative research method was used. The data collection tools of the study consisted of “Teacher Opinions Scale for Gifted Education Programs” conducted with the teachers. The data obtained from the teachers was analyzed with SPSS 22 package program. As a result of the current study, mathematics teachers working in Science and Art Center thought that Mathematics Curriculum was adequate for the education of gifted students. The teachers gave similar answers according to the gender variable and evaluated the curriculum as appropriate or the education of gifted students. According to the Professional seniority variable, it was determined that there was a significant difference between all the elements of the program and the views. This difference was due to the fact that the teachers who have 21 or more seniority level according to other Professional seniority did not participate in the suitability of the curriculum for the education of gifted students. According to the teachers who have bachelor's degree, teachers who have master's degree and doctorate degree in the educational status variable, have lowered the suitability of the curriculum in terms of the education of gifted students. There is no significant difference in the region variable and the mathematics teachers in the six regions evaluated the curriculum as suitable for the education of gifted students. Taking this data into consideration, the study included suggestions for program development experts, teachers, institutions and researchers in the field.
