| Description | The aim of the study was to find out, what influence myths about gifted children held by Czech and Slovak teachers have on their attitude towards the way the gifted should be educated. Chosen items from the questionnaire: Attitudes and Perceptions of Giftedness Survey (Bain, Choate & Bliss, 2006), which are covering the most common myths regarding the nature of giftedness, social and emotional characteristics of the gifted and also education of the gifted, were answered by a sample of 434 teachers (366 women). The results suggest that there is a link between perception of the gifted in the context of dichotomy adaptation/maladaptation and the preference of the form of education - integration/segregation and indefinite/positive attitude towards acceleration. The research of the attitudes of the teachers towards the education of the gifted should therefore precede them actively taking part in the education of these students. |
