Perceptions of gifted students on their levels of creativity
Main Article Content
Abstract
Creativity and intelligence are among the basic characteristics of students. Gifted students are, however, seen as more creative and intelligent than their peers. This study aims to reveal the perceptions of gifted students about their creativity. The study group consists of 241 students at different grade levels studying at the science and art center. This descriptive research, which aims to examine the creativity perceptions of gifted students in terms of various variables, used the survey model. Research data was collected through the “How Creative Are You?” scale. Analysis of the data revealed that more than half of the gifted students found themselves to be above-average creatives. It was observed that there was no significant difference in the creativity perceptions of gifted students according to age, gender, place of residence, educational status of parents, effort to finish a job they started, or frequency of reading books.

The open access publishing model, defined by the Berlin Agreement in 2003, improves the pace, efficiency, and value of research to society. By its very nature, it improves the visibility of authors' work and enables better scholarly exchange, and therefore, the potential impact of that work.
By eliminating the barriers that block the free distribution of knowledge, open access enables scientists to collaborate better, innovate faster, and deliver the solutions we need for healthy lives on a healthy planet.
