초록
본 연구는 사회네트워크분석(Social Network Analysis: SNA)방법을 활용하여 최근 6년간(2010~2015년)의 국내 및 해외 영재교육의 연구동향을 분석하는 데 목적을 두었다. 연구대상은 영재교육 관련 국내 KCI등재지인 '영재교육연구'(한국영재학회)와 '영재와 영재교육'(한국영재교육학회)에 게재된 논문 457편과 해외 SSCI학술지 'The Gifted Child Quarterly,' 'Journal for the Education of the Gifted,' 'High Ability Studies'에 게재된 논문 347편으로 선정하였으며, 각 논문의 영문 키워드를 추출한 후 SNA방법으로 키워드 네트워크와 연결중심성 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 국내외 공통적으로 academically gifted, science gifted, gifted를 중심으로 achievement, identification, intelligence의 키워드 빈도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 따라서 영재를 대상으로 성취, 판별, 지능에 관련된 연구들이 가장 많이 이루어진 것으로 나타났다. 이외에도 cognitive, motivation, self-concept이 공통적인 관심 주제로 나타났다. 한편 국내에서는 creativity, gifted education, gifted education teacher를, 해외에서는 foreign countries, student attitudes를 키워드로 한 연구가 주를 이루었다. 국내 영재교육 연구에서는 해외와 달리 외국사례, 학생태도, 성별차이 관련 키워드 빈도가 거의 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로 국내 영재교육 연구는 보다 다양한 관점에서 연구가 이루어져야 하는 것으로 해석되었다.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the trends in domestic and international gifted education in the last six years (2010-2015) by utilizing social network analysis methods. For papers of gifted education in Korea, two KCI (Korea Citation Index) rated journals, the 'Gifted/Talented Education' (The Korean Society for the Gifted) and 'Gifted and Talented Education' (The Korean Society for the Gifted and Talented Education) were selected and 457 pieces published in two journals were collected. The papers of 347 published in SSCI rated journals, 'The Gifted Child Quarterly,' 'Journal for the Education of the Gifted,' and 'High Ability Studies' were selected. English keywords were extracted from 457 papers from Korean journals and 347 papers from foreign journals and the Social Network Analysis (SNA) way was utilized for keyword frequency and central network analyses. It was appeared that the trends of paper keywords from domestic and foreign countries showed common keywords, 'academically gifted', 'science gifted', and 'gifted' as center keyword frequency, and keywords, 'achievement', 'identification', 'intelligence' appeared as the most frequent ones. For domestic papers, keywords, 'creativity', 'gifted education', and 'gifted education teacher' were the highest frequent keywords while keywords, 'foreign countries', and 'student attitudes' were most frequent ones for the foreign countries. For the analysis of papers from five journals as one group, it was found that keywords, 'identification', 'intelligence', and 'achievement' were the most important common ones and keywords, 'cognitive', 'motivation', and 'self-concept' were appeared as important keywords. The trend of gifted education in Korea seems to be different from ones of foreign countries, domestic papers of gifted education rarely included keywords of 'foreign examples', 'student attitudes', and 'gender differences.' Consequently, the trend of gifted education in Korea called for various research perspectives.
