Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of science lesson activities prepared in accordance with the components and steps of the grid model on the creative thinking skills, problem solving skills and attitudes of gifted students. In this study, pre-test and post-test design with the control group were utilized among the experimental designs. The study group consists of 43 students (23 of them are in the experimental group, 21 of them are in the control group), who are 9-10 years old and are known as gifted students, and continue to attend the same Science and Art Center (BILSEM) in the city of Istanbul. The analysis revealed that the differentiated implementations of Science according to the Grid Model had a significant impact on the creative thinking and problem-solving skills and attitudes of gifted students. .In this study, the Problem Solving Inventory for Primary Education Children developed by Serin, Bulut Serin and Saygili (2010), the Attitude Scale towards the Science Course created Kenar and Balci (2012), and Torrance Creative Figural A booklet, one of the Thought Tests, was used. Within the scope of the study, it has revealed that its applications differentiated according to the Grid Model have a significant effect on the creative thinking and problem solving skills and attitudes of gifted students.
