We objectively analysis of teacher recommendation on selection process for scientifically gifted program, by having conducted the test of scientific attitude, process skill, logical thinking, creative problem solving ability and creativity of the students who were enrolled in science gifted education programs, students who were recommended by science teachers as talented in science and students of ordinary classes. In result, both gifted program students and teacher recommended students scored much higher than ordinary class students in all test fields, but there was no meaningful difference between the gifted program students and teacher recommended students. This result signifies that teacher recommendation is a valuable tool for selecting students for a science gifted education program.
