Özet

Teaching of gifted is generally based on knowledge transfer and transformation of knowledge into creative learning products. Instructional texts as mediating tools of knowledge in the gifted classroom play a key role in the initiation of knowledge transfer. This knowledge transfer starts with the experience of content knowledge which is accessible through various mediating tools. Further, the semiotic property in the design of these texts affects both meaning-making and creative learning products. In this respect, this study explored the awareness and strategies for designing instructional text through social semiotics and multimodality lenses. The case study method was adopted, and six science teachers of gifted students joined the study. Semi-structured interviews were implemented to figure out awareness, and multimodal semiotic analysis was used to analyse the instructional text that they designed and used in their actual teaching practices. Data is qualitatively and quantitatively analysed. Results indicate that the awareness towards semiotic properties is limited, and the semiotic properties of instructional texts need to be improved.
