3.3.2 Teachers' Views on Acceleration

Acceleration consistently provides positive outcomes, yet people still have incorrect beliefs about it. Thus, it is important to reveal the views of teachers on acceleration in Turkey, which has limited opportunities for academic acceleration. In order to understand these views, an online survey was developed with 25 items from social, emotional, physical, and cognitive domains that were developed in accordance with related literature. The data derived from the study will be analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques, and implications for the gifted education will be discussed.
