한 개인의 입장에서도 영재성의 발휘는 매우 중요한 일이지만, 민주국가와 인류공영에 크게 이바지하는 입장에서도 영재성의 발휘는 매우 중요한 일이다. 하지만 현재 운영되고 있는 영재교육을 살펴보면 국가에서 영재교육을 해야 한다고 영재교육의 중요성만 이야기했지 실제로 현장에서 활용할 수 있는 교육과정이나 교육내용을 정해주지 않았기 때문에 실제로 영재교육이 이루어지고 있는 것을 보면 그 내용과 방법은 영재교육을 맡은 기관에 따라 매우 다르게 이루어지고 있다. 현재 17개 대학 부설 과학영재교육원에서 영재교육을 담당하고 있다. 하지만 각 대학 부설 과학영재교육원의 교육과정을 보면 대부분 프로그래밍 위주의 교육을 하고 있고, 그 교육과정도 다른 곳에 개방되어 있지 않아서 각 대학 부설 과학영재교육원마다 교육과정 개발에 상당한 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 초등학교에서 고등학교 1학년까지의 10학년에 걸쳐 실시되고 있는 정보통신기술교육내용과 방과 후 특기적성 교육에서 이루어지고 있는 컴퓨터 교육내용, 각 대학 부설 과학영재교육원에서 이루어지고 있는 교육내용을 분석하여 실제로 대학 부설 과학영재교육원에서 활용할 수 있는 초등 정보과학영재를 위한 교육 과정을 개발하였다. 단, 현재 과학영재교육원에서 이루어지고 있는 영재교육이 기초반과 심화반으로 나누어서 운영되고 있는 점을 고려하여, 본 논문에서는 기초반과 심화반 중 기초반에 초점을 두고 연구를 진행하였다.

The purposes of this study are to investigate Korean science teachers' perception on the science gifted education in Korea, and to investigate if there are differences on their perception among the science teachers whose institutes are different. Their institutes are divided into three groups, which are the formal schools for the gifted in science such as Science High-School, gifted education centers attached to district education authority, and general secondary schools. For the study, 266 science teachers were sampled from the schools in Busan Metro-city, Ulsan Metro-city, and Kyoungnam Province, and then questionnaire developed by the authors were administered to them. The research results are as follows. Firstly, teachers who were going to participate in special education for the gifted in science answered affirmatively, and they thought it seemed worthwhile. On the other hand teachers who were not going to participate in it, answered negatively, mentioning shortage in specialty or extra work overload. Secondly, only the Korean Educational Development Institute was too much preferred by science teachers for teacher training institute for the gifted education in science. Therefore, it is needed to extend the teacher training institutes for the gifted education in science throughout the country. Thirdly, the perception of science teachers on the constitution of a class for the gifted in science is very different among the teachers of formal schools for the gifted in science and the teachers who teach science part time when it is needed in the district institutes for the gifted education. Finally, the perception on the aims of special education for the gifted in science is very different between the teachers who teach the gifted in science and the teachers who do not teach them.

Overexcitability (OE) and social self-concept are the integral affective characteristics of science-gifted students. Overexcitability refers to sensitivity as an internal disposition to give a more often, longer and more intensive reaction to a wide variety of stimuli, and social self-concept refers to the way of behaving in society, especially at school in the case of students. The purpose of this study was to examine the overexcitability and social self-concept of science-gifted and non-gifted elementary school students. The subjects in this study were 135 gifted elementary students belonged to gifted education centers or gifted classes and 91 ordinary elementary students. An overexcitability test and a social self-concept test were conducted to the subjects, and the collected data were analyzed by SPSS. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the score of the science-gifted was significantly higher than that of the ordinary students in all sub-domain of OE (psychomotor OE, sensual OE, emotional OE, intellectual OE, emotional OE) and social self-concept. Second, the science-gifted students who attended gifted education centers and community gifted classes scored significantly higher than the ordinary students in overexcitability. Based on conclusions, implications for teaching the science-gifted were discussed.

The objective of this study is to suggest improvement plan for invention gifted education based on the awareness of teachers and professionals who related to the invention gifted education for the expansion and development of invention gifted education through improvement of relevant problems. To this end, invention gifted education system and its operational status were analyzed, and questionnaire survey on the awareness of the development plan and satisfaction level was conducted, targeting professionals related to the invention gifted education and teachers in charge of invention gifted education classes or gifted education center. The research results are as follows. First, the level of satisfaction on the invention gifted education was greater than normal (M=3.0) in general, but in the field of 'educational materials', 'teacher training programs' and 'human and material support system of support agencies', the level of satisfaction was relatively low, which requires expansion of the support. Second, it is necessary for Korean Intellectual Property Office and Korea Invention Promotion Association to designate and establish specialized research institution to play a key role in enhancing development and efficiency of invention gifted education. As a result of the questionnaire survey, it turned out that expectation and necessity of the specialized research agency was highly recognized. In particular, demand for 'research and development of gifted education method and materials' and 'research and development of teacher training materials and implementation of teacher training' was high among the key areas of the specialized research institution. Third, teachers and professionals related to the invention gifted education responded that 'invention knowledge' in the areas of invention knowledge and thinking and 'entrepreneurship' in the area of invention attitude was somewhat low toward the question on the level of the 9 characteristics of gifted students with invention talents which current beneficiaries of invention gifted education have, which leads to conclusion that review on the model for the selection of gifted children with invention talents as well as research and development of invention gifted education program to enhance characteristics with low levels is required. If long-term development plans and initiatives are deduced based on this, an effective framework for the invention gifted education will be established in the near future. In addition, it is expected that the differentiated political visions and goals will be established in connection with master plan for the promotion of gifted education.
