This study examined Finnish elementary school teachers’ (N = 212) attitudes toward the gifted and their education. On a general level, teachers’ attitudes toward gifted education were slightly positive. Teachers saw that gifted students have social value and that they need special services. The results of teachers’ attitudes toward specific gifted education options were in line with earlier Finnish research, because teachers supported differentiated teaching but were more negative toward acceleration or separating the gifted into their own groups. However, despite the strong support for differentiated teaching for the gifted, teachers’ positions toward practice were more skeptical.

芬兰小学教师对资优教育的态度

本研究调查了芬兰小学教师 (N = 212) 对天才及其教育的态度。整体而言，教师对资优教育的态度略为正面。老师们看到天才学生具有社会价值，他们需要特殊服务。教师对特定天才教育选择的态度结果与芬兰早期的研究一致，因为教师支持差异化教学，但对加速或将天才分成自己的群体更为消极。然而，尽管对资优者差异化教学的大力支持，教师对实践的立场更加怀疑。
