Abstract

The growth and development of any society are affected by the educated force of that society and identifying the factors affecting academic satisfaction and providing them is a step towards sustainable development. The aim of this study was to discover and investigate the factors affecting the academic satisfaction of gifted students. The method of the present study was qualitative using a data-based method and data collection was done through semi-structured interviews. The statistical population of the present study included male and female students of the first high school of talented schools in Tehran in the academic year of 2019-2020. The research sample was selected by cluster sampling and after interviewing 20 students, the effective factors were identified in academic satisfaction. It should be noted that data analysis was performed using three steps of open, axial, and selective coding. Based on the results of the research, open codes around 168 concepts, core codes including 21 concepts, and selective codes in 5 concepts under the headings of school factors, individual factors, family factors, attitudes toward intelligence, and community problems in dealing with the gifted and the lack of a gifted maintenance program (comprehensive programs from education to employment) were identified and extracted. Academic satisfaction is a good tool for evaluating the school and academic achievement of gifted students and strengthens the student's various factors in continuing the path of academic life and promoting academic satisfaction.
