4.4.11 Context Analysis on Attitudes Towards Gifted Education
This presentation will address the attitudes towards gifted students in the upper secondary schools in Slovenia. Specifically, we will focus on the educational context triangulating data collected from students, their teachers, and their parents (N = 1259) in order to understand whether or not gifted students receive appropriate educational opportunities and provisions. The empirical results will be discussed from the QA viewpoint.
