Forty classroom teachers and 40 physical education teachers were included in the study. We used a questionnaire designed for the purposes of this study. The results show that teachers are aware of the role and importance of discovering and working with gifted and talented students, but that they need additional professional training to avoid possible mistakes and problems they might encounter in their work. The teachers believe that their school takes the serves the area of discovering gifted and talented students (X ̅= 3.50 (0.91); p ˂ 0.001), somewhat less the area of educational work with them (X ̅ = 3.39 (0,77); p <0.001) and for the systemic and operational regulation of the education of gifted and talented students (X ̅= 3.35 (0.94); p = 0.001). Physical education teachers identified more children who were gifted or talented in sports than class teachers (t(78) = -5,979, p< 0,000). The scientific contribution represents an important contribution in the field of work with talented and talented students, as for the first time in Slovenia the views of the pedagogical staff and their assessment of competence with such a group of students are presented. We conclude with a critical presentation of some gaps and an overview of the existing situation as well as with some guidelines for further pedagogical and scientific research.

purpose of the study to find out why they do not. Consequently, a research method used
was qualitative interpretative multiple case study design in one of the districts of the Mpumalanga province in South Africa. We selected three teachers who separately teach life orientation, natural sciences, and technology in grade 7 as participants from the schools. Data collection tools were interviews and observations. Teachers were interviewed in their schools and some of their lessons were observed. Data was analysed using a typology approach. We inferred from the results and findings of the paper that these teachers had problems with the integration of environmental education. The problems ranged from the lack of understanding of what is environmental education to misconceptions of the concepts of environment and environmental education. With these challenges it is not surprising that even the ones that could integrate were not aware that they did integrate environmental education. It is therefore suggested that it was not a lost cause at all as they had glimpses of how to integrate environmental education which
argues well for the recommendation that the micro foundation of in-service interventions to capacitate teachers on how to integrate environmental education across all the subjects should be done. Further studies are recommended on the effectiveness of the in-service
workshops that focuses on the integration of environmental education.
