This research aims to describe the impact of distance education, which is formed by a deceleration of formal education during the Covid-19 process, on gifted children. The research is patterned by the basic qualitative research method. Among the purposeful sampling methods, criteria sampling and snowball sampling methods were used as base while determining the participants. The research participants consist of the parents of the elementary school students who were diagnosed with superior ability and are present in formal education. Research data were collected by structured interview form. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. Although the findings of the study indicate that the formal education process is more efficient, it has been observed that the curfew affects the students the most negatively. There are also views supporting that the process is beneficial in terms of socialization and self-development. Other findings are included in the research findings.
