The main aim of this research was to determine metaphors of gifted students about ideal teacher. In this study, in order to determine gifted students' metaphors about ideal teacher, qualitative methods were used. The phenomenological research approach was adopted as the research design. The data obtained through semi-structured interviews were analyzed through content analysis. In order to obtain the data of the research, a study group consisting of 38 gifted middle and high school students studying at Şanlıurfa Science and Art Center, in the 2017-2018 academic year, was established. The students’ ideal teacher’ metaphors were determined through semi-structured interviews which enabled them to Express and justify their opinions. The semi-stuctured interview forms included open ended sentences. For example: “Ideal teacher is similar to..........Because..................”. Metaphores most frequently valued by gifted students seemed to be related to the theme of proximity. Metaphores related to the themes of support and need have also been found intensively after the theme of proximity. Finally, it was seen that the least number of metaphors are associated with themes of functionality, effectiveness, and experience. Finally, some suggestions were developed by discussing the research findings based on the related literature.
