Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the working memory skills of the students with gifted and typical development in the 3rd and 4th grades of primary school. The comparative descriptive research model was used for the purpose of the study. Participants of this study consisted of a total 44 primary school 3rd and 4th grade students, 22 of whom were diagnosed with gifted in general abilities and ongoing to the Science and Art Center (SAC) and the remaining 22 of whom with typical development. In the study, the "Working Memory Scale," consisting of four dimensions and nine subtests, was used to determine the participants' working memory performance. During the data collection process of the research, the scale was individually administered by visiting the SAC and primary schools in Kirikkale. The SPSS 28 program was used for the analysis of the obtained data. Study findings showed that there were statistically significant differences between students with gifted and typically developing students in terms of verbal/visual short-term memory, verbal/visual working memory, and Working Memory Scale overall standard scores. The working memory skills with all component of the students with gifted and typical development whose tongue language Turkish were evaluated for the first time with a valid, reliable, and standard tool. The research findings were discussed in light of the related literature, and suggestions were made for further research and practices.

Özet

Bu araştırmada, ilkokul 3. ve 4. sınıfa devam eden özel yetenekli öğrenciler ile tipik gelişim gösteren öğrencilerin çalışma belleği becerilerinin karşılaştırılarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın amacı kapsamında karşılaştırmalı betimsel araştırma modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, genel yetenek alanında tanı alarak Bilim ve Sanat Merkezine (BİLSEM) devam eden 3. ve 4. sınıfta öğrenim gören 22 özel yetenekli öğrenci ile genel eğitim sınıflarında öğrenim görüp özel yetenek tanısı olmayan 22 tipik gelişim gösteren öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 44 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada katılımcıların çalışma belleği performanslarını belirlemek amacıyla toplam dört boyut ve dokuz alt ölçekten oluşan “Çalışma Belleği Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın veri toplama sürecinde Kırıkkale ilinde bulunan BİLSEM’e ve ilkokullara gidilip ölçek bireysel olarak uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde SPSS 28 programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, özel yetenekli öğrencilerin sözel/görsel kısa süreli bellek, sözel/görsel çalışma belleği ve Çalışma Belleği Ölçeği genel standart puanları ile tipik gelişim gösteren öğrencilerin puanlarının arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar olduğunu göstermiştir. Ana dili Türkçe olup genel yetenek alanında özel yetenekli olan ve tipik gelişim gösteren öğrencilerin çalışma belleği becerileri çalışma belleğinin tüm bileşenleriyle ölçümlenip geçerlilik, güvenirlik ve standardizasyon çalışmaları yapılmış bir araçla ilk kez ele alınıp incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları ilgili alan yazını doğrultusunda tartışılmış, ileri araştırmalara ve uygulamalara yönelik önerilere yer verişmiştir.
