The school period is very important to encourage the development of all potential in children, especially the development of those areas that could be intensively developed and demonstrated as giftedness. Whether a child will develop their talents and demonstrate it in a particular field, primary school teachers, along with their parents, play a key role. Teachers should approach the discovery of gifted children and observe their specific educational needs with great enthusiasm and dedication. Teacher competence is recognized by those who work with them (pupils and parents) based on knowledge, abilities and values. The aim of the graduate thesis is to determine whether the teachers possess enough competencies needed to turn potential talent into manifest giftedness and what their experience is about recognizing gifted students, their involvement in various activities, and encouraging gifted students to progress. In the introductory part we are introduced to the theoretical part of the research carried out. By conducting a survey questionnaire among primary school teachers, we gained insight into their thinking about working with gifted ones. In conclusion of the graduate thesis we find out which results were obtained by research.
