It is one of the complaints of the schoolmaster that the public does not defer to his professional opinion as completely as it does to that of practitioners in other professions. At first sight it might seem as though this indicated a defect either in the public or in the profession; and yet a wider view of the situation would suggest that such a conclusion is not a necessary one. The relations of education to the public are different from those of any other professional work. Education is a public business with us, in a sense that the protection and restoration of personal health or legal rights are not. To an extent characteristic of no other institution, save that of the state itself, the school has power to modify the social order. And under our political system, it is the right of each individual to have a voice in the making of social policies as, indeed, he has a vote in the determination of political affairs. If this be true, education is primarily a public business, and only secondarily a specialized vocation. The layman, then, will always have his right to some utterance on the operation of the public schools.

A workshop was held between 27 November and 4 December 2022 with 100 Science and Art Centre   teachers in the project named Society 5.0 for Gifted Education, which is carried out to improve the quality of special education services for gifted students. The project, which is financially supported by the European Union, Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA), is carried out by Bornova Şehit Fatih Satır Science and Art Center, while Turgutlu Science and Art Center Dokuz Eylül University and Celal Bayar University are project partners.

We hope that the design thinking system will be internalized and learned by our children and young people and used in their studies, thus opening new horizons for us. It is hoped that this book will contribute to the new ideas, designs, projects or works of art that will be formed by using this new method in the future.
