Abstract

Philosophical thinking is the ability of thinking based on questioning, curiosity and knowing. These characteristics, which are inherent in humans, are further developed in children with special abilities. Considering the curiosity of special talents to obtain intense information about something and their tendency to ask questions, it is seen that they are intertwined with philosophy. However, this thinking structure might be suppressed due to the attitudes of peers, teachers or parents. It is thought that an activity to reveal these skills will also reveal philosophical thinking skills of specially gifted children. In this direction, an analogy-based A "A Journey Into The Phılosophy" activity was prepared to enable special gifted children studying at the Science and Arts Center to develop their curiosity by asking questions and using their knowledge. The aim of the study is to reveal the effectiveness of this activity. Qualitative research method was used through method purposeful sampling. The study group consisted of six students, four girls and two boys, aged 12-15 years, studying at the Center for Science and Arts in the Recognition of Individual Capabilities Program. Data were obtained through semi-structured interview and observation forms. Descriptive systematic analysis was used for data analysis. As a result of the research, it was observed that the participants perceived philosophy as a part of life but they had problems in directing their curiosity and asking questions, but this problem started to change positively after the training program and their awareness levels regarding the influence of Islamic philosophers on Western philosophers has increased; it is concluded that the skills of using philosophical reasoning are improved

“…Son zamanlarda, değer eğitiminde ve özel yetenekli öğrencilerin eleştirel düşünme becerilerini geliştirmek için çocuk kitapları aracılığıyla felsefi etkinlikler uygulanmaktadır (Akdemir ve Saban, 2020;Şentürk ve Kefeli, 2019;Wartenberg, 2018).
