Exploring how future scientists are disciplining their mind

This study aims to reveal gifted students’ ways of disciplined thinking in science course. 10 students who were gifted in science were interviewed in accordance with the purpose of this paper. The data collected through the interviews were put to descriptive analysis. The results demonstrated that most of the students gifted in science made connections between the knowledge they had learned in science classes and life at home in relation to the theme of setting up connections with real-world, that they learnt the knowledge related to thinking in depth by researching on the internet, that they made connections between what they had learned in science classes and mathematics course in relation to the theme of setting up interdisciplinary ties, that they made statements about making experiments and controlling the variables in relation to the theme of thinking like a scientist and that they made statements about liking the process of learning in relation to the theme of getting motivated to live in a disciplined way. The findings obtained are thought to shed light on taking precautions to lead each student into disciplined thinking.
