The thesis analyzes the concept of giftedness, characteristics and identification of gifted students, approaches in working with them, and their position in the educational system of Croatia with an emphasis on geography as a school subject. For the purpose of writing the thesis, a survey among teachers of geography in elementary and secondary schools in the Republic of Croatia was conducted. The results of the research point to the current issues of working with gifted students, starting from the lack of time within regular lessons for the high quality, individualized work they need in order to to streamline and develop their giftedness properly. Given that the current Ordinance on Elementary Education and Educating Gifted Students from 1991 is still in place, the proposal of the new curriculum provides the necessary changes in working with gifted students, including not only working with them but also their identification, cooperation with professional services and parents, and the use of suitable teaching materials.
