Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the interpersonal competence of science-gifted students in groups of people with different characteristics. We examined the interpersonal competence and characteristics of students in school and in science-gifted education institute. The subjects of this study were 72 students in a university-based science-gifted education institute. We used a mixed method of both qualitative and quantitative research. The questionnaires were used for quantitative research and the narrative contents and interviews were analyzed for qualitative research. We compared their competence in school with those of gifted education institute students through questionnaire, narrative contents, and interviews. The interpersonal competence questionnaire consisted of 46 questions and their own descriptions about interpersonal experiences in school and in science-gifted education institute. In an interview, they explained their answers on the questionnaires with more details. As a result, generally, the science-gifted students evaluated their interpersonal competence higher in school than those in gifted education institute. They showed different interpersonal characteristics in schools and in science-gifted education institutes. This implies implications for the social meaning of the science-gifted education institutes.

본 연구에서는 과학영재들의 대인관계역량이 서로 다른 집단에서 어떻게 나타나며 어떠한 특징이 나타나는지에 대해 알아보았다. 이를 위해 과학영재들의 대표 또래집단이라고 할 수 있는 학교와 과학영재교육원에서의 대인관계역량과 그 특징을 알아보았다. 연구 대상은 대학부설 과학영재교육원에 재학 중인 초등학교 6학년 12명, 중학교 1학년 34명, 중학교 2학년 26명으로 총 72명이었다. 이들에게 대인관계역량 검사도구의 동일한 문항에 대해 각각 학교와 과학영재교육원에서의 자신의 상황을 구분하여 리커트 척도에 따라 응답하게 하였고, 하위역량별로 설문문항과 관련된 학교나 과학영재교육원에서의 경험을 서술하게 하였다. 이후 과학영재들의 서술내용을 바탕으로 반구조화된 질문을 구성하여 연구 대상 중 35명의 학생을 대상으로 추가적인 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 과학영재들은 대인관계역량의 세 가지 역량인 관계형성, 리더십, 협동과 그 하위역량에서 학교에서의 평균이 과학영재교육원 평균보다 유의미하게 높게 나타났다. 하지만 두 집단 모두에서 높은 대인관계역량 점수를 보였으며 학교와 과학영재교육원에서의 대인관계에 대해 다소 다른 행동과 태도를 보이며 관계를 형성하고 있었다. 과학영재교육원은 과학영재들이 과학지식과 같은 학문을 배울 수 있는 공간일 뿐 만 아니라 관계형성이나 리더십 협동과 같은 사회적 영역까지도 경험하고 배울 수 있는 공간으로 작용하고 있었다. 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 과학영재들의 대인관계역량을 키울 수 있는 다양한 관점의 연구가 시도되어야 할 것이다.
