The purpose of this correlational study is to explore how success levels in solving non-routine problems among gifted fourth-grade students are linked to their strategic flexibility.
Data were gathered from 165 gifted fourth-grade students at a Science and Art Center in Bursa/Türkiye. Binary logistic regression was employed to assess the impact of gender and various indicators of strategic flexibility on success levels in non-routine problem solving.
The findings reveal that these students perform exceptionally well in both non-routine problem solving and strategic flexibility. The most commonly used strategies among students are "drawing figures or diagrams", "reasoning", and "working backward." The strategic flexibility indicators with the highest average usage are "selection of the appropriate strategy", "strategy knowledge", and "changing strategies when encountering different problems". A significant and strong correlation was observed between their success in non-routine problem solving and strategic flexibility. Within the regression model, the ability to "select appropriate strategies" emerged as a significant predictor of performance in non-routine problem solving among gifted students.
In summary, this study highlights the problem solving strategies used by gifted students in non-routine problems, and the indicators of strategic flexibility that are effective in predicting success.
本相关性研究的目的是探讨四年级资优学生解决非常规问题的成功水平与其策略灵活性之间的联系。
从土耳其布尔萨的一个科学与艺术中心的165名四年级资优学生中收集数据。采用二元逻辑回归来评估性别和策略灵活性的各种指标对非常规问题解决成功水平的影响。
研究结果表明,这些学生在非常规问题解决和策略灵活性方面表现出色。学生中最常用的策略是“绘制图形或图表”、“推理”和“逆向工作”。平均使用率最高的策略灵活性指标是“选择合适的策略”、“策略知识”和“遇到不同问题时改变策略”。观察到他们在非常规问题解决中的成功与策略灵活性之间存在显著且强烈的相关性。在回归模型中,“选择合适策略”的能力成为资优学生非常规问题解决表现的重要预测指标。
总之,本研究突出了资优学生在非常规问题中使用的问题解决策略,以及对预测成功有效的策略灵活性指标。
