Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to develop the “Parental Awareness Scale (Parents with a Gifted Child - EFÖ-ÜZÇE)” to determine the awareness of the parents of gifted students. The scale consisting of 4 sub-dimensions and 39 items is organized as a likert type of 5. The subscales of the scale were Stress Conflict, Perfectionism, Motivation Success, Self-Management-Responsibility. For the validity reliability studies of this scale developed, 127 families with gifted children diagnosed at the age of 6 with the Stanford Binet Intelligence Test were reached. A similar scale validity analysis was performed with explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis to determine the structure validity in the study. Materiality analysis was performed on the reliability reliability studies of the scale. Cronbach ? reliability coefficient is ? =.833. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, the RMSEA value of the scale was calculated as.090. Findings revealed that the ‘Parental Awareness Scale’ (Parents with a Gifted Child - EFÖ-ÜZÇE) is a valid and reliable measurement tool. © 2018. Milli Egitim. All Rights Reserved.
