Advanced Statistical Modeling of Teachers' Awareness of Gifted Students: a Comprehensive Hierarchical and Predictive Analysis
Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The goal of this extension of the study was to measure teachers' awareness of extraordinary students in a complex statistical model, extending beyond simple descriptive analysis in multiple dimensions. An increased and stratified teacher sample of 500 teachers accompanied the instrument with stipulated demographic, professional, and psychological variables. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA), Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), network correlation matrices, and Hierarchical Linear Regression were used. Results showed that cognitive awareness superiority (M = 3.92) was learned over behavioral awareness (M = 3.18). In the hierarchical modeling 42% of the variance of “awareness” was explained by “specialized training” and “self-efficacy”, which overcame the traditional “years of experience”. Factor analysis completes a robust three-factor structure (KMO = 0.89, χ² = 485.32, p < 0.001).
