The purpose of this study was to investigate research trends in the area of science education for the gifted through the analysis of articles published from 1999 to 2009. The articles were analyzed by subjects, topics and study method. In the analysis according to year, we discovered that the number of articles has increased since 2005. Most research subjects were middle school students. Other research subjects included elementary and high school students. The first topic that was researched in general was the characteristics of the scientifically gifted. The second topic was the curriculum and program of science education for the gifted. It was also found that the method most employed was surveys, followed by experimental study.

This study investigated the utilizations and needs of the gifted students, parents and experts as to the development of the Information Center for Gifted Education in Science (IC-GES). The participants of this study were 343 gifted students, 194 parents raising gifted students in science, and 113 experts in gifted science education. The survey instrument was developed to examine their perspectives and needs. The results of this study revealed that the gifted students, their parents, and experts showed the diverse utilizations and needs. The gifted students showed the more interest in information on the recruitment of gifted students. On the other hand, parents and experts were interested in gifted education programs and curriculum. They exploited various resources to find out the information on science gifted education. In addition, with respect to the development of the IC-GES, all of the participants of this study indicated that they needed the resource center providing the information regarding gifted science education programs. They also noted that the IC-GES could be a crucial foundation as well as essential reinforcement for gifted science education. This study provides and supports the rationale and needs of the development of IC-GES.

This study aimed to analyze the appropriateness of chemistry teaching-learning programs for the gifted in science in middle school gifted classes and to propose improvements. For this study, 5 chemistry teaching-learning 4-6 hour programs developed for science gifted classes by Korea Education Development Institute (KEDI) and 3 chemistry teaching-learning programs developed for science gifted classes by three middle schools in K province were selected. A standard model for gifted education programs was used as tool for analyzing the program targets, program contents, teaching-learning methods, and assessment items. The results showed that all chemistry teaching-learning programs for the gifted in science presented well attainable objectives in the program targets. However, most program targets did not offer differentiated objectives from the general education. Program contents of KEDI stresses intensified education, and also presented a high ratio of sub-elements of creativity, which can enhance gifted creativity. On the other hand, program contents developed by three middle schools focused on acceleration in advancement, and presented low ratio of creativity sub-elements, which could be insufficient in enhancing gifted creativity. Differentiated and personalized, integrated science and interscience, updated research contents were hardly found in programs developed by KEDI and three middle schools. However, teaching-learning methods were composed to fit the learning objectives in the teaching process and the procedures, and were made to self-directed learning. There were no assessment for the feedback after class. Therefore, teaching-learning programs for the gifted in science should be developed further in order to fulfill the objectives of gifted education and gifted characteristics. Also, it is necessary to construct infrastructure to carry out the developed teaching-learning programs.

현재 우리 나라에서는 과학영재교육원을 설립하여 초 ${\cdot}$ 중학생을 대상으로 영재 교육 프로그램을 운영하고 있다. 하지만 실제 초등학생보다는 중학생에 초점을 두고 이루어지고 있으며 프로그램의 내용 역시 일반화되어 있지 못하다. 특히 영재교육진흥법과 시행령이 통과되어 올해부터 영재 학교 ${\cdot}$ 학급이 운영되고 있는 현시점에서 영재들을 교육시킬 교수 ${\cdot}$ 학습자료의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 따라서 문제해결력중심, 수학실험중심, 수학탐구중심이면서 수학분야에 흥미가 있고 재능이 있는 아동들에게 수학적인 힘을 강화하고 자발적인 학습 태도를 배양시킬 수 있는 초등학교 중학년 영재아들을 위한 학습자료를 개발하는데 이 연구의 목적이 있다.

This paper aims at shaping remote observatory system environment for schools, developing astronomical observation program using that system and applying it to science-gifted elementary students in order to figure out effects on their scientific investigation ability and attitude. in order to figure out effects of astronomical observation program using remote observatory program on scientific investigation ability and attitude of science-gifted elementary students, test was conducted on gifted students class of 5th grade in A Elementary School(15) and those of 5th grade in B Elementary School(20). The summary of this paper's results are as follows. First, in order to compose remote observatory system, an astronomical telescope available for remote control to transfer actual observed images in real-time was manufactured. Second, learning program for using remote observatory system wad developed by selecting contents through analysis of the curriculum. Third, in order to figure out effects of astronomical observation program using remote observatory program on scientific investigation ability and attitude of science-gifted elementary students. As a result, both of basic investigation ability and integrated investigation abilit, sub-elements of scientific investigation ability, showed significant differences and scientific investigation ability combining basic and integrated investigation abilities showed significant differences as well. Effects of astronomical observation program applying remote observatory also showed significant differences and its sub-elements, openness, collaboration, patience and creativeness did not show significant differences while curiosity, critics and volunteering showed significant differences.

The purpose of this study was to identify the proper identification method of the gifted students in math and science. The subjects were 6,237 students from 3rd to 7th graders. The subjects took nation-wide tests which were made for identifying the gifted students. The tests were composed of creativity, thinking skill, and academic achievement in math and science. The results of this study were as follows; First, creativity and thinking skill were positively correlated with the academic achievements. Specially, the academic achievement of science was positively correlated with the all of the sub-factors of creativity and thinking skill variables. Second, the influential power of each variable differed depending on the identification methods. Also, group 1, which was considered all variables such as, creativity, thinking skill, and academic achievement, was the most proper way to identifying the top 1% students from the subjects. These results implies the variables of creativity, thinking skill, and academic achievement have to consider identifying the gifted students in math and science.

The purpose of this study was to investigate science gifted education recipients' perception through importance-performance analysis regarding gifted education program, and explore reinforcements and improvements for providing an education program to meet the needs of science gifted. For this study, we developed an questionnaire and conducted a survey of 288 university students who had experience of receiving science gifted education. The collected data was analyzed by SPSS 20.0 in order to analyze difference between importance and performance which recipients perceived, paired t-test was conducted. Moreover, to investigate improvements for education program, Importance-Performance Analysis(IPA) was conducted. We deduced the following from the analysis. The performance is in general lower than the importance which recipients perceived regarding experienced education program. There was a differential needs in the type of education program depending on the school level. In other words, they were perceived 'education based on experiences' as effective education program for elementary school students; 'education based on inquiry activities' for middle school students; and 'education based on research activities 'for high school students. But, career education and leadership program was included in domain of urgent improvement regardless to the school level. This study has different signification from previous research in that was analyzed gifted education program considering the splashdown effect.
