The purpose of this RSP program is to enhance the invention gifted students' creative thinking and self-efficacy in studying. This program has 20 subcategories and interesting activities attracting students' attentions which are based on TRIZ's 40 principles of invention. 3-Steps to learning, which are - experiencing, recognizing, and inventing are arranged as teaching methods of RSP program. In the first step, experiencing, students are motivated and get a glimpse of the principles of invention while experiencing innovative products. In the next step, recognizing, students grasp the related scientific principles from the products. In the last step, inventing, students are given keys to solutions for problematic situations and then they create new ideas after repetitive encounters with several products made by similar principles. RSP program is different from other programs in that it has this 'inventing' step, where students can create new ideas based on related basic knowledge. In conclusion, RSP program is systematically well organized with 4 steps(purpose, contents, teaching method and evaluation) and is shown to enhance invention gifted students' creativity and self efficacy in studying. Therefore, the RSP program is shown to be a reliable and useful program, and may be used in the classes for positive results.

This study examined the perception of secondary gifted students of a university-affiliated science-gifted education center toward its educational programs. This study surveyed 184 students who are enrolled in the secondary gifted educational programs of a university-affiliated science-gifted education center. The results showed that the students are generally satisfied with the gifted educational programs. The students also said that the programs have provided more knowledge to them and improved their creativity. It is significant to examine how students currently participating in gifted educational programs perceive the programs and how they are influenced by the programs. Therefore, improvements required for the development and operation of future gifted educational programs should be drawn based on the collection of the results of perception surveys from each gifted education center.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the content and design of the seven math camp programs for students of the education centers for the elementary gifted students. The analysis focused on the goals, content, and evaluations utilized in the math camp programs. The results of the study were as follows. First, there was no big difference between the goals set for each camp, and they mainly focused on the goals in affective domain. Second, the content of math camp programs was focused on enrichment rather than acceleration. Most of the programs were focused on geometry, whereas fewer programs were focused on measurement, probability and statistics. Based on the Analysis, we found that only nine out of 27 programs applied level-wised or individual exercise programs. Third, all centers for the mathematically gifted carried out evaluations of their math camp programs. However, a specific evaluation plan was not established for the math camp program plans. We suggested the direction of math camp programs as follows. First, the goals should reflect on the intended outcomes of the math camp programs. Also, the goals of math camp programs need to be distinctive from general education goals. Second, the programs should contain harmonious contents with enrichment and acceleration and must include various reactions and task commitment. The math camp programs need to include references and an appropriate information for the gifted students to encourage self-directed learning. Third, a more specific evaluation plan for math camp programs needs to be developed for effective education for the gifted students.
