Values and attitudes of teachers occupied in Secondary Education regarding the training of highly skilled students
Summary:
The present study investigates the values and attitudes of teachers occupied in Secondary
Education regarding the training of highly skilled students. The sample consisted of 66 teachers of
different expertise, working on secondary education in both Public (approximately 2/3 of the
sample) and Private Schools (1/3 of the sample) of Attica and the Province. The teachers filled a
questionnaire of values, attitudes and perceptions, whose findings were examined in relation to a
number of variables, such as years of service, gender, participation in educational programs for
gifted students and educational level (basic degree, second degree, postgraduate). Overall, the
findings revealed that the attitude of the teachers towards the training of highly skilled students is
rather positive, whilst none of the variables examined seemed to differentiate teachers' perceptions.
The connection of these findings with the literature is discussed, as well as their ramifications on
a practical level.
