Problems, transformations, application examples and detections for gifted students in the Polish education system in the Covid-19 process

Abstract

Poland, as a member state of the European Union, made various adjustments to the education system during the coronavirus pandemic. In this process, as in many countries, distance learning came to the fore. In Poland, the positive and negative aspects of the distance learning process, the relationships between students, teachers and teaching activities have become the subject of various studies. In the first stage, these studies were carried out through official institutions in order to obtain feedback about the process. The purpose of this research is to reveal the problems, changes and application samples in the Polish education system, and to examine the impact of remote learning on gifted students. This paper was designed with a case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The data obtained was analyzed using content analysis. The impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the education system are addressed by thematic groups. It has been observed that the changes implemented as a response to the pandemic have had various effects on teachers, students, parents, technological opportunities, motivation and teaching activities. It has been determined that the pandemic has seriously affected the identification and education of gifted students. Additionally, it was observed that students gained the ability to recognize and work with a new learning-teaching process through distance learning.
