본 연구는 2010년 전국 정보과학기술(IT) 영재교육을 위한 학생 선발 과정을 중심으로 과거의 선발 과정과 차이점을 비교해보고, 정보과학기술에 관심이 있는 교육생을 대상으로 모집된 결과로 부터 성별, 지역별, 학교별 분포를 분석하였다. 분석결과에서 남학생과 여학생의 비율이 1 : 0.29로 나타났는데 이는 남학생보다, 여학생이 정보과학기술을 접하기 어려운 분야로 인식하고 있다는 것이다. 두 번째로, 지역별 분포비율을 조사한 결과 부산지역이 가장 많은 관심 비율을 보이고 있었는데, 이는 부산에 한국과학영재학교를 비롯한 부산광역시 교육청 산하 정보영재교육원과 같은 정보영재교육의 참여도가 많은 학생들이 지원한 것으로 보인다. 세번째, 중학생과 고등학생의 비율을 분석한 결과 중학생이 고등학생보다 약간 우위를 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 좀 더 일찍 자신의 적성에 적합한 영재교육의 혜택을 경험해보기 위해서이며, 학업의 내용이 학교 교과과정에만 관심이 있는 것이 아니라, 자기계발을 위한 학부모와 학생들에 관심이 높아지고 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 국가적 IT 브랜드의 위상이 높아지고 IT의 발전이 학생들에게 많은 영향을 주었다고 본 연구에서는 판단된다. 정보과학기술 영재교육의 학생 선발 방식이 새롭게 전환되면서 무엇보다도 전국의 많은 학생들이 IT영재교육원의 교육 혜택을 받게 되었다는 점과, 많은 학생들이 온라인 교육을 통해서 소셜 커뮤니티를 형성하여 창의력과 자기계발 잠재력을 키울 수 있는 계기가 되었다는 점에서 큰 의미가 있다고 할 수 있다.

For the education of scientifically gifted high-school students in the field of relativity, we have executed a research on the understanding of relativistic concepts through the case study of its students of Busan Science Academy appointed as a high school for the gifted education in science. We showed the analysis of the changes in students, understanding in the field of (special) relativity and their possible causes. The comparison of the pre-test and the post-test tends to support that the students attained better understanding through the instruction of relativity. Students' understanding and misconception of relativistic concepts were also investigated through the case study. The students showed low degree of understanding in the validity of the principle of relativity, the influence of the constancy of the speed of light on the classical physics, etc. It seems that the analysis of these concepts of insufficient understanding can make a contribution to designing the education of relativity for scientifically gifted students.

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.

과학영재교육의 중요한 목표중의 하나는 과학영재들의 과학에 대한 태도를 긍정적으로 변화시키는 것이다. 특히 태도와 같은 정의적 특성은 지적 특성에 비하여 후천적이고, 학습에 의해서 변화될 가능성이 크기 때문에(Marsh, 1990) 교육적으로 중요한 의미를 가지며 학생들이 성장하여 과학에 관련된 직업이나 활동을 하는 데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다(Oliver, W Hill, Pettus, W. C. and Hedin, B. A 1990). Anderson(1981)은 과학에서의 정의적 영역을 흥미, 태도, 가치, 통제의 소재, 학문적 자아개념, 불안, 선호 등의 7가지 영역으로 나누고 이 중에서 불안요인을 학업성취 및 태도에 가장 강하게 영향을 주는 요인으로 구분한 바 있다. 이처럼 과학 관련 태도나 과학 불안도는 학생들의 과학관련 활동이나 성취에 중요한 요인이 되고 있으나 이와 관련된 연구는 극히 미미하다. 지금까지의 태도 및 불안도에 관한 연구들은 일반학생들을 대상으로 하고 있으며 과학영재들을 대상으로 한 연구는 전혀 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구는 과학영재교육원에 다니는 194명의 과학영재들을 대상으로 하여 과학영재 수업을 받은 후 과학 관련 태도와 과학 불안도가 변하는지, 과학 관련 태도와 과학 불안도는 어떠한 상관이 있는지, 그리고 남$\square$녀 집단의 차이가 있는지를 영재수업을 받기 전과 후의 검사를 통하여 알아보았다. 본 연구에서는 과학영재들의 과학 관켠 태도를 측정하기 위해‘고등학생을 위한 과학 관련 태도’검사를 사용하였다. 이 검사는 Fraser(1981)가 개발한‘TOSRA’(Test of Science-Related Attitudes)와 Munby(1983)의‘태도 측정 도구 조사’에서 문항 선정이 이루어졌다. 적절한 단어 및 어휘, 일부 문항들의 부적절한 환경 상황 등을 고려하여 40 문항 중 21문항을 수정하거나 삭제하고 문항내적 상관이 낮은 4문항을 제거하여 최종 30문항을 제시하였다(고유곤, 1996). 이 검사의 문항 내적 신뢰도 $\alpha$ 는 0.9 이었다. 검사 문항은 4개 범주과학에 대한 태도, 과학의 사회적 의미, 과학 교과에 대한 태도, 과학적 태도 등과 각 범주의 하위 문항으로 되어 있다 과학 불안도 측정 검사 도구는 중$\square$고등학생들의 과학불안도 측정을 위해 김범기(1993)가 개발한 것을 사용하였다.

The purpose of this study was to find out whether scientifically creative students were selected as science-gifted class students and whether their creativity improved after class for the science-gifted students by comparing the science gifted class students to general class students in the first grade of high school. This was achieved by comparing science-gifted class students with general ones on creative personality and creative thinking ability. For this study, science-gifted class students and general class students were surveyed using Khatena-Torrance creative perception inventory and Torrance test of creative thinking with words of form A, before and after class for the science-gifted group. The results showed that science-gifted class students scored significantly higher than general class students on the creative personality. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in their creative thinking ability. Also, in this study, the sub-factors of creative personality and those of creative thinking ability showed very low levels of correlation, which implies that the two variables are highly independent. In addition, science-gifted class students did not show significant improvement in their scores on the creative personality and the creative thinking ability after class. Therefore, further research and development on the selection of science-gifted students and teaching-learning methods which can improve the creativity of these students are needed.

The Korean Ministry of Education has emphasized the convergent ability for human resource cultivating the development of science and technology in the future. Based on this, Korean STEAM education aims to enhance students' interest and their understanding of science and technology as well as to develop students' convergence thinking and problem-solving skills. Through the camp for gifted students, students are generally introduced to produce self-directed outputs in order to solve the problem in everyday life. In this study, the author aims to find out whether the gifted high school students' creative leader competency and STEAM literacy changed after they experienced STEAM-based camp. 517 gifted students from 52 high schools in the Metropolitan city region join the camp, which is focused on generating student-centered outputs for problem-solving in daily life context. Before and after the camp, the creative leader competency and the STEAM literacy of participants were tested and compared. From the result, we found that the gifted high school students' creative leader competency and STEAM literacy improved after participating in the STEAM camp. In particular, all the sub-factors except for the social value pursuit domains in the social characteristic area of creative leader competency and the areas of creativity, respect, and communication in STEAM literacy increased. Educational implications will be discussed.
