Abstract

The research deals with the changes of the laws related to gifted education focusing on the Marland Report. As result, contrary to conventional argument for the beginning of legal ground for gifted education, 1958's National Defense Education Act(P. L. 85~864) which stipulated the article for 'identification and encouragement' for 'able students' can be said the first legislation of gifted education in the level of federal government. In the case of definition of the gifted, prior to 1972's Marland Report, there was the first legal definition in the Section 806 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act(P. L. 91~230, 1970), which said "Children who have outstanding intellectual ability or creative talent". However Marland Report expanded the realm of the gifted from the area of intelligence to the area of leadership, art and psychomotor ability. On the basis of Marland Report, in 1974 the Office of Gifted and Talented was set up in the Department of Education for dealing with gifted education in federal. Further, Marland emphasized the importance of stipulating article related to funds for gifted education in law. Without manifesting funds for gifted education in law, he knew very well how hard it was to practice gifted education in reality. This implies that regulation funds for gifted education is crucial for effective actualization of gifted education.

본 연구에서는 말랜드 보고서를 중심으로 미국의 영재교육법률에 관한 변천 과정을 다루고 있다. 연구 결과, 연방 차원에서 제정된 법률 가운데 영재교육이 법적 차원에서 다루어진 최초의 법률은 1958년 국가방위교육법(National Defense Education Act)이라고 할 수 있으며, 영재에 관한 법률적 정의가 제시된 것은 말랜드 보고서(1972년)보다 앞선 1970년의 초중등교육법임이 확인되었다. 또한 말랜드 보고서는 영재에 대한 정의 외에도 차별화된 교육과정(differentiated curriculum) 개념을 제시하였으며 영재교육에 관한 연구와 운영을 총괄하는 국가 센터와 기구의 설립 제안 외에도 영재교육을 특정한 법률의 제정과 법률에 예산 조항이 반드시 포함되어야 하는 점을 제안함으로써, 이후 영재교육이 법과 제도에 근거하여 이루어지도록 하는 데 영향을 주었다.
