Abstract
Teachers' Perceptions of Gifted Students in Jordan
This study aimed at investigating teachers' perceptions of gifted students in Jordan. The study used the mixed (quantitative - qualitative) approach to achieve the purpose of the study. An instrument was developed and included (12) questions according to five Likert scale, and (4) open-ended questions. The sample consisted of (187) teachers from the capital city of Amman. The results showed that the current curriculum needed to be enhanced by an enrichment of content for gifted students. There were statistically significant differences at (α = 0.05) due to teacher specialization, in favor of art specializations, and there were no statistically significant differences at (α = 0.05) due to the variables: Sex, experience, level and school type.
The results showed that teachers need the opportunities to choose an enhanced content suitable for their gifted students. This content should focus on activities, brainstorming, and the performance assessment. The researcher recommends enriching the curriculum with content that teachers are committed to present or teach to the gifted students, in adition to training teachers on mechanisms for early identification and selection of gifted students.
