Joys and Worries of Gifted Children
Vol.18,No.2-3(2013)
Good and Evil in Education
This study presents the findings of a research which aimed to discover the wishes, joys, fears and worries of gifted eleven-year old children. The first research tool was a questionnaire based on the nomination technique which was given to the class teachers. This served as a method for the consecutive identification of 71 gifted children. The children then answered the following open-ended questions from a second questionnaire: What is your greatest wish? What makes you feel the greatest joy? What do you fear the most? What is your biggest worry? The research data were processed for each question separately on the level of primary analysis of frequency of appearance of the categorised answers. Based on the comparison of data gained from both the gifted and the non-gifted children, we defined general categories that are considered to be specific for the group of gifted children from our research.
