“…Enacting policies is one of the only ways to build stable and consistent support systems for gifted students (Gallagher, 2006). The foreseeable reality confirms that there is a strong relationship between the goal of countries to be able to compete economically and their policies related to the education of gifted individuals (Avcu and Er, 2017). This also includes attempts to raise educational standards, especially in the field of the gifted, with the best and fairest practices (Rasmussen and Lingard, 2018) and equate excellence with elitism (Brady, 2015).…”

“…His study also aimed to discover the reality of enacting legislation and policies for the gifted at the level of the Arab world. It came out with a set of results, most notably:  The lack of adequate and appropriate legislation and policies for the gifted at the level of the Arab world  The need to enact appropriate laws, taking into account the exchange of experiences between different Arab countries  Working to standardize curricula at the level of the Arab world Avcu and Er (2017) analyzed the educational policies for the gifted and their applications in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Turkey. Using the horizontal and descriptive approach for comparative education, the researchers concluded that there are essential steps, regulations, guidelines, and policies for the education of gifted individuals in Germany, the Netherlands, and Turkey.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the available laws and regulations regarding the education of gifted students by comparing these laws and regulations in Australia, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The study used the descriptive analytical comparative approach and analyzed available information in published studies, peer-reviewed articles, and online official documents of the countries under study. The findings of the study reported that Australia is very advanced in the field of enacting policies and legislation, as it has developed integrated strategies that include most of the elements of policies and legislation, although there are some shortcomings compared to the international standards; in South Korea, there are policies and legislation, but they are not integrated and have many shortcomings in definitions, explanation and implementation, and they do not cooperate with the international standards. In Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the implementation of policies and legislation is neither in line with international standards nor with the general directions of educational policies, and they are almost unavailable. However, the UAE has taken some steps to enact policies and laws.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The study's goal was to examine the correlation between the computer programming self-efficacy and computational thinking skills of gifted and talented students. The capacity of the computer programming self-efficacy of gifted and talented students to predict their computational thinking skills were also examined. The relational screening model has been implemented in the research. The participants of the study were composed of 106 secondary school gifted and talented students studying the Individual Ability Recognition Program (IAR) at the Science and Art Center in the city center. Typical case sampling was applied for the student identification of the participants, 46 are female and 60 are male. Gifted and talented students' computational thinking skills were assessed using the "Computational Thinking Skills Scale” and the computer programming self-efficacy was measured by using the "Computer Programming Self-Efficacy Scale". Data were analysed by Pearson correlation analysis and simple linear regression analysis in statistical software SPSS 22. Research results found that there was a positive and high correlation between the computer programming self-efficacy and computational thinking skills. The gifted and talented students' computer programming self-efficacy demonstrated 31.5% of the total variance in computational thinking skills. This finding supports the claim which is present in the literature that self-efficacy in computer programming is the affective aspect of computational thinking skills. To predict computational thinking skills, it may be recommended to build multiple models for cognitive and affective skills of gifted and talented students.</p>

The aim of this research is to evaluate the gifted education teacher training policies in our country in the light of international and national policy documents. It is understood that the teachers did not receive adequate training on gifted education before the service, the trainings on the gifted were mostly for BİLSEM teachers, the training needs of the teachers in formal education institutions were ignored, the in-service training was insufficient, and the teachers had a training need in this area. The study was shaped as a qualitative research and national policy documents were used as data collection tool. Data were collected by document analysis method. The documents were analyzed in the context of education policy, gifted education, gifted teacher training, their selection and professional development of these teachers. It is striking that the education of gifted people has been given more place in the policy documents in recent years. It is seen that most of the decisions taken have not been implemented. Although positive steps have been taken in the policies of teacher training, selection and professional development in the field of gifted education in our country, it is understood that a stable policy has not yet been established.
