Abstract:

 


The aim of this study is to identify metaphorical perceptions of the
gifted students enrolled in Science and Art Center (BILSEM) towards the
concepts of Social Studies course, Social Studies teacher, and BILSEM. In line
with this aim, gifted students were asked to produce metaphors about the
concepts of Social Studies course, Social Studies teacher and BILSEM. This
study adopted a phenomenological approach, which is one of the qualitative
research methods, and the data were collected through metaphors. The study was
carried out with   49 students (29
females, 20 males). The students were administered a form that included
incomplete sentences such as “Social Studies course is like... because...”,
“Social Studies teacher is like...because...” and “BILSEM is
like...because...”. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis
methods. Results show that gifted students who are enrolled in BILSEM have
positive attitudes towards the concepts of Social Studies course, Social
Studies teacher, and BILSEM.
