%0 Journal Article %T THE STUDY OF GIFTED STUDENTS¡¯COMPUTATIONAL THINKING SKILLS %A Hamza Erdem £¿atalta£¿ %A £¿smail D£¿nmez %A £¿erihan Kirmit %J - %D 2018 %X The aim of this study is to exmine the gifted students¡¯skills of computational thinking at secondary school level according to gender variable. During 2017-2018 academic year, Computational Thinking Skills Scale (CTS) was applied to 26 female nd 33 male secondary students who are attending a Science and Art Center in Ankara. Computational thinking is a scale which has 22-word, five-point Likert-type with 5 subfactors. Relational scanning model is used to underline the condition of our Project. Mann Whitney U test is applied to analyze data from BDBD according to gender. By the result of this analyses, the avarage of male students¡¯rate of creative thinking, algorithmic thinking, cooperative learning, and critical thinking skills are higher than female students¡¯. Whereas, only the average of problem solving skill scores of female students was higher than male students. When it is evaluated in terms of significance value, in the sub-factors of creative thinking, algorithmic thinking and critical thinking has emerged a great difference in favor of men. Gifted students showed their ability to make purchases under 145 points in the selection of B£¿LSEM with low skill points in problem solving. In other areas, educational institutions have to take effective preventions to improve Computational thinking skills among male and female students %K Gifted Student %K Computational thinking %K B£¿LSEM %U http://dergipark.org.tr/steam/issue/42077/476833
