Summary/Abstract: Gifted students are students with highly developed general intellectual or specific abilities, which makes them more advanced than their peers. Precisely because of their superior abilities, or even their potential, they are able to achieve more original, useful, creative and successful results. It is mandatory for schools to provide students with such learning experiences that will profile their abilities - develop or improve them, with the pervasive idea of ennobling their personalities; awakening moral awareness and strengthening moral responsibility. Considering that didactic-methodical scenarios are designed for students of typical abilities, gifted students are at risk of underachievement. Disproportionate requests are placed before them that do not correspond to their abilities, and their needs primarily for expanding and deepening knowledge, cultivating creativity, and increasing intrinsic motivation are not considered. This research aims to operationalize methodical guidelines important for the educational needs of gifted students and to examine their representation in the Framework Curriculum for nine-year elementary schools in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It has been shown that, despite the multitude of scientific works on giftedness and appropriate education of gifted students, teachers lack clear methodical instructions on modeling the environment with the aim of maximizing student abilities.
