Abstract
Gifted individuals are those with extraordinary abilities unlike their peers. Poor sociometric status of gifted students often stems from the dissatisfaction of their educational needs and the fact that their interests often do not coincide with those of their peers. Research has shown that the popularity and popularity of students in a peer group is important for success in the future. The aim of this empirical study was to determine the sociometric status of potential perceived gifted students in the classroom and subject teaching. The sample were 59 students of the elementary and subject classes in rural areas in the Osijek – Baranja County. The results of the study showed that there is a strong and positive correlation between sociometric status and the number of nominations in different areas of academic achievement, and it was found that students who were found to have potential perceived giftedness had a higher sociometric status than children who were not identified as potential perceived giftedness. The results of the research could provide guidance for checking previous theoretical assumptions and supplementing existing key factors that influence the sociometric status of students in the educational system. Also, this research could be an impetus for future research in this area.
