Özet

The phenomenon of increasing human mobility has attracted the attention of various fields of study in the last decades; the existence of gifted students within these mobile populations urges educators and policy makers to thoroughly examine their diverse needs, the challenges they commonly face, and the essential support services needed to cater for their special needs. This systematic literature review examines the existing research on the pillars of gifted education within mobile populations published between 1999 and 2025 through the lens of the Process-Person-Context-Time (PPCT) model. The findings of this review contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between giftedness and human mobility, offering insights into policy and practice to better address the unique needs of this generally overlooked population. By shedding light upon this emerging issue, this study also underscores the need for further research and mobility-sensitive policies to ensure fair inclusion of gifted students from all backgrounds.
