Özet

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of an enriched module series prepared for gifted students on their scientific process skills (SPS). In the study, the modules were implemented to the students at science lesson and the effect of the implementation on students’ SPS was analysed. Embedded quasi-experimental mixed design, one of the mixed methods designs, was used. According to quantitative results, it was identified that the enriched module series had positive effect on students’ SPS. The collected qualitative data show that the implementation especially contributed to identifying the problem, forming a hypothesis, collecting information, creating a list of materials, determining control variables, making a plan for observation, drawing conclusions about the data and repeating the test. The quantitative and qualitative results of the study show that the application has a significant positive effect on the development of gifted students’ SPS.
