Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore and assess the teaching learning practices of high
ability students in Menelik I Science Shared Campus at Kotebe Metropolitan University. With
regard to the research design employed cross-sectional research design was adopted. The
research methodology employed in the study was both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
Accordingly, a questionnaire was prepared to be filled by teachers and students for the
quantitative data; and interviews were administered for vice principals and educational experts
for the qualitative data. Data obtained through questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive
statistics and non- parametric test such as Chi-square test. The findings of the study revealed
that there was a need for improving the quality of the teaching learning process for high ability
students. The study also revealed that there were many challenges in implementing the education
of high ability students such us shortage of supervision, well designed curriculum, quality pre service, in-service training for teachers and school principals, inadequate resources, including
budget, teaching learning materials and equipment. Generally acceleration, enrichment and
significant assessment strategies are not implemented. Educational experts were not sufficiently
participating in high ability student’s education. I have seen in this research that students are
not compared based on their ranks; rather they are graded by standard grading system which
emphasis the students’ ability to challenge themselves. Results were discussed and
recommendations forwarded.
