The Problems Faced by Teachers of Pioneer Centers for Talented and Gifted Students in Jordan
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify the problems faced by teachers of Pioneer Centers for talented and gifted students. To achieve the objective of the study a questionnaire was developed which included (32) items, distributed on five domains: students, teachers, planning and organizing programs, parents of students and community, and facilities and equipment. The questionnaire distributed to (73) male and female teachers in Irbid, Jordan. The results showed that the estimate of teachers for the problems came moderately on all domains of the questionnaire. In addition, the most of the problems facing teachers in the Pioneer Centers were: lack of appropriate tests for the diagnosis of talented students, the lack of qualified teachers to deal with talented students, insufficient lessons to some enrichment activities, evening work at the center, the weakness of relationship between the center and parents, and the negative impact of the community on the concepts of parents towards the center. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences due to the gender, specialization, academic qualification, and teaching experience.
Keywords: Teachers problems, Pioneer Centers, talented & gifted students.
