| Summary: | Introduction: Gifted individuals who have at least one type of disability are defined as twice exceptional. Studies on twice-exceptionality are limited in Türkiye. This study systematically examined the studies on twice-exceptionality in Türkiye.Method: We searched the National Dissertation Center and Journal Park of TUBITAK databases. The dissertations/theses and journal articles identified were examined within the inclusion and exclusion criteria framework. As a result, 23 studies were included in the systematic review.Findings: We analyzed the studies under four themes: Non-empirical focus, measurement tools, student-centered characteristics, and teacher-centered characteristics. Findings show that studies on twice-exceptionality are few in Türkiye. Existing studies are mainly descriptive and focus on learning disabilities. In addition, we found that teachers are frequently the participants of the studies.Discussion: Identifying and supporting giftedness and disabilities is essential for twice exceptional students’ academic and socio-emotional development. The identification and support of twice-exceptional students should be more extensively investigated in Türkiye. |
