Abstract

In this study, the meta-analysis technique was applied to investigate the effectiveness of gifted-mathematics programs on development of creativity. Studies conducted the outcomes form the 20 studies were used for meta-analysis. Research questions are as follows; first, what is the overall effect size of the gifted mathematics programs on development of mathematical creativity. Second, what are effect sizes of sub-group(fluency, flexibility, originality) analysis. Third, compare the effect sizes of those in compliance with the grade and the class type. Results from data analysis are as follows. First, the overall effect size for studies related the gifted-mathematical programs was .66, which is high. Second, it was found that each sub-group differed from its effect on learning outcomes. Fluency(.76) was the highest of all, which was followed by flexibility(.60) and originality(.50) in a row. Lastly, the overall effect size for gifted elementary school students related the gifted-mathematical programs was .69, which is high than gifted middle school students was .46.

본 연구는 수학영재프로그램이 창의성 신장에 미치는 효과를 연구한 논문에 대한 메타분석연구이다. 이 연구의 목적은 수학영재교육이 영재아의 창의성 신장에 미치는 효과성을 밝히는데 있다. 연구 결과, 수학영재프로그램이 수학영재아의 창의성 향상에 미치는 전체 효과 크기는 .66으로 나타났으며, 이는 실험집단의 평균점(중간점)이 통제집단 내에서 75% 정도에 위치하는 효과이다. 둘째, 수학영재프로그램이 창의성의 하위 요소에 미치는 효과크기는 유창성이 .76, 융통성이 .60, 독창성이 .50, 수학적 사고능력이 .50으로 나타났다. 셋째, 수학영재프로그램이 미치는 초등영재의 효과크기는 .685로 중등영재의 효과크기 .457보다 높게 나타났다. 또한 창의적 문제해결력의 관계를 중재하는 수학영재프로그램의 프로그램 모형 변인으로 효과 크기를 계산하면 문제해결학습과 탐구학습모형이 높게 나타났다.
