Abstract
Gifted students need systematic educational support to have the opportunity to realize their potential. This research aims to analyse the current state of educational support for talented students in primary schools in three Croatian counties: Split-Dalmatia, Osijek-Baranja, and Virovitica-Podravina. A survey questionnaire constructed for this research was conducted on 483 primary school teachers in 171 schools. The methods of identifying gifted students, providing support to them, and teachers' interest in training in giftedness were examined, as well as differences in these variables between counties. The results indicate that, in most schools, subjective assessment is the most commonly used method of identification, while support is most often provided in the context of additional classes, competitions, etc. Teachers also express a high interest in further education and development in the field of giftedness.
Keywords
