An Experimental Study on the Psycho-Training Program Intended for the Attitudes of The Parents of Gifted Students / Üstün Zekâlı Öğrencilerin Ebeveynlerinin Tutumlarına Yönelik Psiko-Eğitim Programı Üzerine Deneysel Bir Çalışma

Abstract

The family is often considered the primary arena for socialization. In other words, parental attitudes are the basis for children's emotional, personality and cognitive development, and the education of their habits, skills and behaviors, both individually and contextually. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a group psycho-training program for parents of gifted children on their attitudes towards their children's education and personal development. The study used an experimental design, which is a quantitative research method. The research was designed using a pretest-posttest matched control group structure, and the study group was selected through random sampling. The study involved a randomized, controlled trial with eight psycho-educational sessions focusing on different themes such as communication, family functioning, self, resilience, academic motivation, and career planning. The Psycho-Education Program for the Attitudes of Parents of Gifted Students was implemented to address these themes. A total of 40 parents of gifted students participated in the study, with 20 parents assigned to the experimental group and 20 parents assigned to the control group. The Parental Attitude Scale was administered to both groups before and after the counseling sessions to collect data. The results of the study showed that the experimental group had higher scores on the Acceptance/Interest and Psychological Autonomy dimensions of the Parental Attitude Scale after completing the psycho-training program, while their scores on the Supervision dimension decreased. This suggests that the psycho-training program led to a reduction in parental authority over their children. Overall, the study highlights the potential benefits of group psycho-training programs for parents of gifted children in promoting positive attitudes towards their children's education and development. In this study, which examined the effect of the psycho-education program applied to parents of gifted children on parental attitudes, it was seen that the group psychological counseling program was effective on parental attitudes. Parental involvement practices create the parent-school-student triangle, providing parents with routine information about school policies, procedures and activities, and their child's progress.
