Özet:

 Introduction: Can a student with learning disability pass the university exam and get into the faculty of medicine? Number of studies on gifted students with learning disabilities, also known as different students, has increased recently. The aim of the present study was to examine the strengths and weaknesses of Fatih who succeeded in getting into the faculty of medicine despite academic failure and to determine strategies he used against problems. Method: Case study among qualitative research methods was used as the study model. Through family interviews, interviews with Fatih, the drawings of Fatih and result of intelligence test, areas he had difficulties as well as those he was gifted were analyzed. Findings: Results of the study revealed that Fatih has been suffering from learning disability since primary school, he has struggled especially in the Turkish lesson and he has been experiencing academic failure. Despite his academic failure, he performed well in the field of mathematics. In addition, he was gifted in general mental ability and that he is extraordinarily skilled at painting. Discussion: When the strengths and weaknesses of Fatih are taken into consideration, it can be asserted that he is a gifted student with learning disability. The results were discussed within the context of identifying gifted individuals with learning disability.

 Giriş: Öğrenme güçlüğü olan bir öğrenci üniversite sınavında üstün bir başarı sağlayarak tıp fakültesine yerleşebilir mi? İki kere farklı öğrenciler olarak da bilinen öğrenme güçlüğü olan üstün yetenekli öğrencilere yönelik çalışmalar son zamanlarda hız kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada ise akademik başarısızlığa rağmen tıp fakültesine girmeyi başaran Fatihin güçlü ve zayıf yönlerini ile güçlüklere karşı kullandığı stratejilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışma modeli olarak nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması kullanılmıştır. Aile görüşmeleri, Fatih ile yapılan görüşmeler, Fatihin çizimleri ve zekâ testi sonucuyla birlikte Fatihin zorlandığı ve yetenekli olduğu alanlar analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Elde edilen veriler sonucunda Fatihin ilkokuldan beri öğrenme güçlüğü yaşadığı, özellikle Türkçe dersinde zorluk çektiği ve akademik başarısızlık yaşadığı belirlenmiştir. Yaşadığı akademik başarısızlığa rağmen matematik alanında iyi performans gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Ayrıca genel zihinsel yetenekte yetenekli olduğu ve resim yapmada olağanüstü yeteneğe sahip olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Tartışma: Fatihin güçlü ile zayıf yönlerini, yetersizliklerini telafi etmek ve bir şeyler başardığını ortaya koymak için resim alanındaki yaratıcılığını ön plana çıkarması dikkate alındığında Fatihin öğrenme güçlüğü olan üstün yetenekli bir öğrenci olduğu belirtilebilir. Sonuçlar, öğrenme güçlüğü olan üstün yetenekli bireylerin belirlenmesi bağlamında tartışılmıştır.
