“…zaman bu yeteneklere sahip bireylerle yakından ilişkilidir. Akranlarından üst düzey gelişim gösteren özel yetenekli bireylerin gelişimleri desteklendiğinde, bu bireyler topluma daha fazla katkı sağlayabileceklerdir (Sevgili Koçak, 2020). "Özel yetenekli bireyler, akranlarına göre hızlı öğrenen; yaratıcılık, sanat, liderlik alanlarına ilişkin kapasitede önde olan, özel akademik yeteneğe sahip, soyut fikirleri algılayabilen, ilgi duyduğu alanlarda bağımsız hareket etmeyi seven ve yüksek performans gösterebilen bireyi ifade etmektedir" (MEB Bilim ve Sanat Merkezleri Yönergesi, 2016, s.2).…”
