However, research indicates that these conceptions are often incorrect or inconsistent, even among teachers who have completed coursework in gifted and talented education. This study aimed to explore pre-service teachers’ conceptions of “being gifted” and “being talented” using a qualitative case study research design with 35 participants. Data were collected using a multimodal instrument that allowed participants to express their mental representations through various modes such as writing, drawing, and mathematical symbols. The collected data were then analyzed using a multimodal semiotic analysis protocol developed specifically for this purpose. The results revealed that participants predominantly associated “being gifted” with cognitive abilities such as high IQ, scientific inquiry, and mathematics, while “being talented” was linked to cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities, including high performance in arts and sports. The findings highlight the need for pre-service training programs that promote scientific conceptions of giftedness and talent, addressing stereotypes and lay misconceptions.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">155-175</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muhammet Davut Gül</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">REASONS WHY GIFTED STUDENTS DROPOUT OF SCIENCE AND ART CENTERS</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">dropout</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">gifted students</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">reasons</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">science and art center</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">self-determination theory</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2025</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">June/2025</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://journals.indexcopernicus.com/search/article?articleId=4499563</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">83</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gifted students gain the right to receive education outside of school at the Science and Art Centers (SACs) affiliated with the Ministry of National Education and begin to receive education in these institutions in Turkiye. However, after a while, it is seen that gifted students drop out of SACs. The purpose of this research is to examine the reasons why gifted students drop out of SACs. For this purpose, the study group consists of 26 primary and upper-secondary school students who were entitled to SACs in the Black Sea region, attended for at least one year and then dropped out. The study group was formed by criterion sampling. A semi-structured interview form consisting of four questions, one about demographic characteristics and three about opinions, prepared by taking expert opinion, was used as the data collection tool in the study. The obtained data were subjected to content analysis. Depending on the data obtained, student opinions were analyzed under three themes within the perspective of self-determination theory. Regarding SACs dropout, codes have been formed as differentiated education, teacher competency, deep learning, school time, compulsory attendance, and design SACs completely like a school. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">366-382</style></section></record></records></xml>
