This study is to examine the perceptions and attitudes of parents about the teachers' recommendation system through their observations to identify the gifted. We conducted surveys for parents who had elementary school children in Busan metropolitan city and analysed the results to find out about the differences among parents groups in terms of their monthly incomes and opinions on teachers' observation and nomination for the gifted. The results are following; First, approx. 80% of the respondents recognized the changes in the giftedness identification system. Also, 40.5% of the parents positively thought about the teachers' observation and nomination system (positive group), whereas 32.3% of the parents showed their negative opinions about the system (negative group). There were also 27.2% of the parents who did not make their decisions (no-decision-making group). Second, most of the parents accepted that the teachers who were professionally trained in gifted education should be the persons for observing and nominating gifted students. However, significant differences were shown among the different monthly income groups of the parents in regards to who should be the person taking charge of recommending the gifted and how trustworthy this person could be. Third, the positive parents' group mostly expected that as the teachers' observation and nomination system is adopted, expenses for private education would decrease, whereas the negative group and no-decision-making group thought that the opposite result would occur. These results will be helpful for the successful adoption of teachers' observation and recommendation system to identify the gifted in the field of education.

In this study, intelligence and creativity of students selected for the mentorship program at the Science-gifted Education Center were tested and those levels were related to the examination for the mentorship program. Diverse psychometric tests(WAIS, RAPM, TTCT-verbal, TTCT-figural) were administered to the students in both courses(biology course: n=19, physics course: n=21) at the Science-gifted Education Center. Students selected for the mentorship program had high intelligence scores(WAIS IQ>98%). On the other hand, their creativity scores were not as high as their intelligence scores. In the correlation analysis between those scores and examinations for the mentorship program, examination for the biology program was correlated with WAIS and TTCT-verbal, whereas that for the physics program was correlated with RAPM. These results show that students for the mentorship program have higher score in intelligence than in creativity and the examination for the mentorship program tests mainly intelligence. Thus, educational effort should include an emphasis on the assessment of creativity.

컴퓨터와 정보통신 기술은 하루가 다르게 발달하고 있지만, 정보사회를 살아가는 데 필요한 시대정신은 갖추지 못하여 이로 인한 부정적인 현상은 점점 그 심각성을 더해가고 있다. 최근 교육기관과 사회 공공 기관에서 역기능의 심각성을 인식하고 정보통신윤리교육을 실시하기는 하지만, 정보과학영재를 위한 정보 통신윤리교육은 거의 연구가 진행되고 있지 않다. 정보사회에서 국가적으로 매우 중요한 인재인 정보과학영재들에 대한 체계적인 정보통신윤리교육이 없다는 것은 매우 위험한 일이다. 교육은 대상자의 수준에 맞게 이루어져야 할 것이다. 따라서 정보과학영재들에게는 그들에게 맞는 정보통신윤리교육이 필요할 것이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 인식하여 본 논문에서는 정보과학영재의 개념을 살펴보고, 정보통신 윤리의 개념과 성격, 정보통신 교육의 기본원칙을 이론적 배경으로 하고 초등 정보과학영재들의 인터넷 이용실태를 분석해본 후 초등 정보과학 영재들을 위한 정보통신윤리교육방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The study aims to figure out how to improve existing examination tools to distinguish mathematically gifted children and to clarify procedures and criteria for selecting candidates. Toward this end, it examined correlations between grades of gifted children selected through evaluation by pen-and-pencil tests and their creative problem-solving capability and performance assessment, and analyzed learning activities of the gifted children. According to the analysis, results of pen-and-pencil tests turned out to have low correlations with their creative problem-solving capability and performance assessment, but it was found that their creative problem-solving capability has high correlations with results of performance assessment. The analysis also found that there were some students who participated in a program for gifted children with high marks but had difficulties in adapting themselves to it. It found that there were children who joined the program with low marks but emerged as successive performers later on. In this regard, the existing examination tools to tell the gifted students apart need to be used to the fullest extent, and other diversified tools to evaluate mathematical capabilities that include mathematical creativity need to be further studied and developed. Qualitative studies on affective development of the gifted students and their creative problem-solving processes need to be conducted.

Identification and selection the mathematically gifted child must be based on it's definition. So, we have to consider not only IQ or high ability in mathematical problem solving, but also mathematical creativity and mathematical task commitment. Furthermore, we must relate our ideas with the programs to develop each student's hidden potential. This study is focused on the discrimination of the candidates who would like to enter the elementary school level mathematics gifted education program. To fulfill this purpose, I considered the criteria, principles, methods, and tools. Identification is not exactly separate from selection and education. So, it is important to have long-term vision and plan to identify the mathematically gifted students.

We objectively analysis of teacher recommendation on selection process for scientifically gifted program, by having conducted the test of scientific attitude, process skill, logical thinking, creative problem-solving ability and creativity of the students who were enrolled in science gifted-education programs, students who were recommended by science teachers as talented in science and students of ordinary classes. In result, both gifted program students and teacher-recommended students scored much higher than ordinary class students in all test fields, but there was no meaningful difference between the gifted-program students and teacher-recommended students. This result signifies that teacher recommendation is a valuable tool for selecting students for a science gifted-education program.

This paper attempts to explore issues related with the Sifted and talented education in legal aspects. To accomplish this goal, the legal system connected with the gifted and talented education is examined. It includes the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, framework act on education, elementary and secondary education act, etc,. Second, the institutional process of the Act on the Promotion of Education for the gifted and Talented Law and legal characteristics is reviewed. It is found that the Act on the Promotion of Education for the gifted and Talented Law and its regulations is designated to achieve goals of education in general. Educational institutions for children with gifted and talented seem to attain more investment than general education institutions. Third, main issues in the Act on the Promotion of Education for the gifted and Talented Law is discussed. They are the legal system, legal name and aim, rights and obligation for gifted and talented, selection of gifted and talented, organization and operation of curriculum, and teacher education. In conclusion, it needs deeper study on each issue and needs to be presented the specific alternatives. So, it should be improved the law in such a way to meet the fundamental human rights for the gifted and talented.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive validity of behaviroal characteristics checklists that are widely used in Korea for identifying mathematically gifted students. Three most widely used checklists were selected and implemented to classroom teachers who could teach and observe gifted students in regular classes. The predictive validity of the tree checklists were explored by generating the correlations between their ratings using those three checklists and the performance levels of gifted students, which were measured by teachers in gifted classes. Findings of this study are the followings: First, all three checklists could statistically significantly predict the performance of gifted students in gifted programs, and the checklist B showed the highest predictability. Secondly, without the assistance by those checklists, teachers could not predict the performance level of gifted students. Lastly, teachers that were trained for educating gifted students could very effectively predict the performance of gifted students with the aid of those checklists while teachers without appropriate training could not at all even with the aid of those checklists.
