The purpose of this study was to analyze the teacher training programs focusing on reflect qualities of teachers in gifted education. A total of 20 teacher training programs were collected from the office of education, the teacher training center of university and the remote training center. These teacher training programs were analyzed using a semantic network analysis. The analysis showed that 'curriculum', 'teaching and learning' and 'development of curriculum' were emphasized in teacher training programs. Therefore, teacher training programs are operated with an emphasis on teacher's professional qualities. The analysis also revealed that many of the teacher training programs were dealt with professional and teaching faculty's qualities more than affective qualities. Therefore, it is necessary to reorganize the teacher training programs to be diversified and balanced. Furthermore, in order to improve teacher's quality equally, we suggest a systematic training program should be pot in place.

기하는 수학의 기초를 이루는 중요한 영역이다. 그러나 기하교육을 위한 프로그램 설계와 교수전략에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 그러므로 현장의 수학교사들에 의한 프로그램개발과 동시에 프로그램과 지도방법을 통합하는 수학교사들의 지속적인 연구가 절실히 요구된다. 이에 본 연구는 영재의 특성들을 고려하고 교사 중심의 강의식 수업보다는 토론, 발표, 세미나에 적합한 프로그램을 구안해 보았다. 프로그램 설계의 내용적 면에서는 기하학의 한 방법인 해석기하학과 현재 고등학교에서 다루는 Euclid 초등기하의 한계를 넘어 공선(共線), 공점(共點)의 비계량적 개념의 사영기하학을 도입하였다. 그리고 프로그램을 운영하는 방법적인 면에서는 문제제시단계, 문제해결단계, 수학적 개념추출단계, 수학화 단계, 확장단계의 단계별 절차를 두었다. 이와 같은 수학영재교육 프로그램의 설계 및 교수전략의 목적은 수학영재들을 새로운 문제와 지식을 제안하고 생산하는 수학 창조자를 만들고자 하는데 있다.
