摘要：The researcher aimed at investigating gifted students’ attributions to learning and teaching conceptions and their beliefs about teacher characteristics and teaching as profession. The research was a mix of qualitative and quantita‐ tive methods. It was conducted with 46 gifted students who were identified to be gifted by the identification system of the Education Pro‐ grams for Talented Students at Anadolu Uni‐ versity, Turkey. The results showed that in making a choice, gifted students primarily preferred to learn new information instead of teaching others. Gifted studentsʹ priority pref‐ erences about learning and teaching did not vary by gender and grade. Most gifted stu‐ dents did not want to have a teaching career. A few of them wished to have teaching as their career for they considered teaching as a way to help others and a way of enjoyment. Gifted studentsʹ views on teaching as a profession did not vary by gender and grade. They indicated knowledge as the most important characteris‐ tics teachers should possess, followed by un‐ derstanding and fairness.
