The extent of content appropriate for regular and gifted students used by professors

Authors

Abstract

Whether the quality of contents offered to gifted university students is appropriate was explored in this study and is reported herein. A sample of 140 gifted and regular students at Esfahaan University was randomly selected while a sample of experts was chosen purposefully. Data on students' difficulties with the contents offered were collected using a questionnaire, while the data from the experts was gathered through semi-structured interviews. Results show that both regular and gifted students are dissatisfied with the contents offered at the university. The experts stressed that in order to make the contents appropriate for the gifted, professors have to avoid repetitive contents, be more practical in their teaching, enrich their offerings, and be more flexible.
