Information Behaviour of Gifted Children – The Qualitative Study

The study focused on differences in information behaviour between intellectually gifted and average children in the pre-literate age. The main objective of the study was to examine how information behaviour, especially in the form of asking questions, is expressed in gifted children in the pre-literate age, and how it differs from information behaviour in children with average intellectual abilities. In order to meet the pre-literacy condition, participants were chosen from children starting their first year of school (aged 5 to 7).
