Description
The study explored the attitudes and perceptions of high school principals (N = 2000), employed at a public school located in one of 24 states across the nation, toward gifted students and gifted programs. The survey instrument titled, Perceptions and Attitudes of High School Principals Toward Gifted Students and Gifted Education, included 29 questions to measure three specific attitudes and perceptions: support for gifted students and gifted programs, the view of gifted education as an elitist program, and self-perceptions of giftedness. The study revealed several distinct attitudes and perceptions of high school principals.
