Description
The aim of this qualitative instrumental case study was to explore Ghanaian teachers' beliefs about giftedness and their knowledge of gifted education strategies. Ten teachers from six junior high schools participated in interviews, and provided lesson plans and related student work. Inductive and deductive data analysis revealed that the majority of teachers held limited insights into the nature of giftedness or of strategies advocated to support gifted students in mainstream classes. The study has implications for policy development and for reform of pre-service teacher education in Ghana.
