창의성 신장을 위한 영재 심화학습 프로그램의 효과에 대한 교사와 영재아의 평가 비교 연구

The purpose of this study was to compare the evaluation of students and teachers on the degree of students' improvement in terms of creativity after participating in enrichment programs for the gifted. Two topics in each of the Language Art and Mathematics were implemented to gifted students in grade 2 and 3 in one of the elementary schools in Kyung-Ki province and one private gifted education center for 12 times during the summer. The results showed that the young gifted students could monitor their performances very well and the evaluation of their creativity were consistently more positive than that of their teachers who taught them. They were significantly more positive regarding their creativity in mathematics than in Language Art. The results imply that young gifted children can evaluate their creativity reliably and consistently. Therefore, the teachers should try to understand and consider their own evaluation about their creativity in planning educational programs for the gifted. In the following studies, it is necessary to have pro- and post-test data on creativity collected by diverse methods and to include older students as subjects to see whether the results of this study are generalizable to older students.
