Abstract: Gifted students are future leaders in society. In order to support and encourage them, it's important to have a thorough understanding of the nature of giftedness and the perceptions, and anticipations of gifted students. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions and anticipations of 6th-grade gifted students about four commonly used assessment methods, namely, exams, homework, project and performance assessments, and in-class assessments in mathematics classes. The present study is a case study, which is a type of qualitative methodology. The participants of this study consisted of three 6th-grade gifted students who attended Science and Art Centers (BILSEM) in Ankara. To collect the data, semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data were analyzed through content analysis. The findings indicated that although their perceptions and anticipations varied, three gifted students mostly like project and performance assessments out of these four methods, prefer group assessment to individual assessment, and do not like exams and excessive amounts of homework. In addition, the reflections of gifted students' perceptions can be seen in their anticipations. The findings of this study would be helpful to provide teachers and researchers insight into the perceptions and anticipations of gifted students regarding the assessment to diversify assessment, which would contribute to revealing and enhancing gifted students' potential.
