국가발전의 백년대계를 위해서는 기초과학이 튼튼해야 하고 기초과학을 육성 발전시키기 위해서는 수학의 발전이 있어야 한다. 2000년에는 우리나라 대전에서 국제수학올림피아드가 개최되는데 국민소득 만달러가 넘는 우리나라에 아직도 정부출연 수학전문연구소가 없다는 것은 안타까운 일이다. 정치권은 물론 정부ㆍ재계에서 수학연구소 설립에 깊은 관심을 기울여야 하겠다.

Several aspects seen to be related to the phenomenon of having few female Olympians. This study focused on the gender stereotypic parental belief in female child's talent area and lack of parental nurturing behavior on female children in math and science. Other aspects such as females dislike of competition, lack of network, dislike of extraordinary achievement are also included for discussion. The find out how girls and boys became Olympians, 23 male Olympians and 4 female Olympians and their parents were surveyed with questionnaire, on the parental belief, encouragement, and nurturing behaviors. Two Olympians and two non-Olympians were also interviewed to find out what made them to continue to participate in Olympiad or give up Olympiad.

한국과학재단 신임 사무총장 김정덕씨는 "다가오는 21세기에는 과학재단의 역할과 기능을 재정리하고 대학사회로부터 더욱 신뢰받는 재단, 국가발전에 이바지 할 우 있는 재단으로 도약할 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠다"고 다짐했다. 본지와의 대담에서 김사무총장은 "2000년도에는 국제수학올림피아드를 국내에 유치하여 두뇌 한국의 위상을 제고하고 국내 기초과학 재도약의 전기를 마련하겠다"고 다짐했다.

중국의 수학교육에서는 두 가지 기본, 즉 기본지식과 기본기술을 주창하는 전통이 있다. 이러한 전통의 직접적인 결과는, 중국 학생들이 국제수학시험(예를 들어 1989년도의 IAEP)에서 뛰어난 성적을 거둘 수 있는 능력을 갖추거나 국제수학올림피아드(IMO)에서 빼어난 성적을 거두는 것으로 나타난다. 우리는 이 강연에서, 중국 교사들이 "두 가지 기본"을 왜 그리고 어떻게 가르치는가와, 그들의 "두 가지 기본"을 학생의 창의성과 어떻게 결합시키는가를 보일 것이다. 개방형 문제해결 기법은 그러한 목적을 달성하기위한 한 가지 방법이다. 이 강연에서 생각할 주제들은 다음과 같다. 문화적 배경; 계산속도; "연습이 완전함을 만든다"라는 가설; 교실에서의 효율성; "두 가지 기본"과 개인적 성장 사이의 균형. 특히, 중국의 수학 교육자는 개방형 문제해결 기법과 "두 가지 기본" 초석 사이의 연결성에 더 많은 주의를 기울이고 있다.

Currently Korea encourages gifted high schoolers and junior high schoolers to participate in international achievement contests such as International Olympiads. Participants for these contests are selected nationwide among gifted students in areas of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and others. They go through a series of screening tests and programs. One of the screening processes IS Korean Olympiad School, which provides study programs each summer for student-candidates prior to following year's International Olympiads. Approximately 40 students of high schools and junior high schools, in each subject of study, gather at Korean Olympiad Summer School, and they go through intensive study programs during a short period of time. Out of 40 candidates,' less than 10 students are finally selected to participate in International Olympiads. In this study, a psycho-educational program called "Situation Coping Training Program" was developed to enhance ahievement motivation for these student-candidates. This study was to see if this training program actually improved their cognitive, emotive motivation factors, and to see how this training program affected their achievement level. Training was administered for five days. This training program was found effective for participants to increase self-efficacy, internal locus of control, and anxiety copmg. These cognitive and emotive motivation factors, other than intelligence, were found to have positive relationship with achievement level, of which self-efficacy and attribution style of students were found as two best predictors of achievement. This training program was perceived as necessary. by participants, and helpful for recovering self-confidence and self-control as well as coping pressure. Suggestions were made that this kind of training program be administered as a regular curriculum in preparative study programs such as Korean Olympiads, since cognitive, emotive motivation factors are related with achievement, and furthermore, be utilized in all gifted education programs in Korea. in Korea.

Math and Science Olympians participated in a study of the role of environmental influences in their talent development. The questions they got was about family and school factors contribute / or hinder to the development of their scientific talents, and the parents' child rearing styles. The questionnaires were originally developed by Campbell(1996) for cross-cultural studies. The major findings were as follows: ⑴ The professional job of the Olympians'father, the high SES, Their parents'discovering their child's talents were positive factors, ⑵ Their family support and learning environment were reported strong and positive, especially books and reading atmosphere, ⑶ The Olympians participated in the accelerated and enriched educational programs, ⑷ The quality of the class and the rigidity of the curriculum were hindering factors, ⑸ Their parents'rearing style were permissive, affective, and supportive.
