Abstract
This research was executed in order to analyze the factors and strengths of learning difficulties that science-gifted high-school students experienced in Korea Science Academy. The subjects are 284 gifted high-school students from Korea Science Academy who responded to a paper-and-pencil questionnaire survey. The questionnaire used in this research was developed by focusing on the difficulties in the learning situations of science-gifted highschool students based on Rhodes' 4P theory of creative achievement. The data was analyzed using cross-tabulation analysis, frequency analysis, MANOVA by the SPSS 12.0 program. The analysis of the questionnaire survey on the learning difficulties showed (i) a grade difference in interpersonal relationship and (ii) gender differences in learning ability and learning strategies. Also, it was observed that the students tried to solve their learning difficulties most frequently by meeting their school peers except for methods of 'the others' such as relying on religious power.
