The study was conducted in order to determine the pressure on the achievement expectations perceived by the parents of gifted secondary school level children attending Science and Art Center in the 5th-8th grades attending Science and Art Center in the city center of Karaman. It was carried out with 115 gifted children at 5th-8th grade level. Demographic information form and Parental Achievement Pressure Scale were used to collect data. The branches in which children are diagnosed are, respectively, general ability with 71,30%, art with 16,52% and music with 12,18%. No significant relationship was found between the ages of gifted children attending Science and Art Center and the duration of their attendance at Science and Art Center, and the ages of their mothers and fathers, and parental pressure for achievement. On the other hand, it was concluded that the achievement pressure scores perceived by children in the general ability branch were significantly lower than the achievement pressure scores perceived by children in the art and music branches. At this point, it is thought that it would be appropriate to include necessary guidance for parents about not put pressure on their children who are diagnosed as gifted, especially with the expectation of academic achievement.
Keywords: Superior ability, science and art center (sac), parental achievement pressure, general ability, art and music ability branches.
