Abstract

On the basis of Sternberg's theory of mental self-government, this examined the difference in thinking style between gifted science students and non-gifted students, and their earth science concepts by the different types of thinking styles. The subjects were consisted of 120 students from the Busan Science Academy and 122 students from two general high schools in Busan, Korea. All participants responded to the Thinking Styles Inventory which is a self-report test consisting of 65 items, and essay questions for examining the students' earth science concepts. The results are as follows. First, the gifted science students prefer legislative, judical, anarchic, global, and liberal styles, where non-gifted students prefer executive, oligarchic, and conservative styles. Second, Type I thinking style group prove to have more complex concepts in relation to the geological and astronomical areas than those of the Type II thinking style group in both of the gifted and non-gifted students. This indicates that Type I thinking style students use a deep learning approach where Type II thinking style students use a surface learning approach.

본 연구의 목적은 Sternberg의 정신자치제 이론에 근거하여 영재학생과 일반학생의 사고양식의 차이를 조사하고, 사고양식 유형에 따라 두 집단이 가지고 있는 지구과학 개념을 비교 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 과학영재학교 1학년 120명과 일반계 고등학교 2학년 122명을 대상으로 총 65문학의 자기보고식 사고양식 검사와 서술형 지구과학 개념검사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 과학영재학생은 입법적, 사법적, 무정부제, 전체적, 진보적 사고양식이 우세하여 새로운 과제를 선호하고 자기 자신의 방식으로 문제를 해결하는 특성을 나타내었다. 반면에 일반학생은 행정적, 과두제, 보수적 사고양식이 우세하여 이미 짜여진 구조나 지침에 따라 문제를 해결하는 특성을 나타내었다. 사고양식 유형에 따른 지구과학 개념을 비교한 결과, 과학영재 집단과 일반학생 집단 모두 Type I 사고양식의 학생들이 Type II 사고양식의 학생들 보다 지질학 분야와 천문학 분야 공통적으로 심도 있고 복합적인 개념을 나타내었다.
