This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of primary school teachers who have special talented students in their classes or who have worked with special talented students before, towards special talented students and nongifted students. In this study, phenomenology, a qualitative research design that utilizes metaphor as a tool, was employed to explore the perceptions of primary school teachers regarding gifted students and their education. The study was conducted with 27 primary teachers, and a content analysis approach was employed for data analysis. The findings were categorized into eight categories, encompassing three key concepts. It was observed that the perceptions of primary school teachers towards special talented students and the education of these students were predominantly positive.
