본 연구의 목적은 구성주의 유아과학프로그램을 만 5세의 유아에게 일정기간 동안 경험하게 한 다음 그러한 경험이 유아의 창의성과 문제해결력에 긍정적인 효과가 있는지 알아보고자 함이다. 이를 위해 만 5세 유아 39명을 대상으로 구성주의 유아과학프로그램이 창이성과 문제해결력에 효과가 있는지 알아 본 결과 본 구성주의 유아과학프로그램을 경험한 유아들은 일반 유아교육기관의 과학프로그램을 경험한 유아들보다 창의성, 과학적 문제해결력이 향상되었으며 성별에 따른 차이 없이 모두 창의성과 문제해결력이 향상되었다. 이상의 연구 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 구성주의 유아과학 프로그램은 유아의 창의성과 문제해결력을 신장시키기 위해 보다 적절하다고 할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate current trends and future directions of research in the area of gifted education through the analysis of published manuscripts on giftedness and gifted education between $2000{\sim}2006$. About 521 articles among 35 journals and 49 dissertations listed in the Korea Education and Research Information Service, including the journal of gifted/talented education and the journal of giftedness and gifted education, were mainly analyzed in the present study. The articles were examined by topics, domains, ages, and research methods both yearly and synthetically. The most widely researched topic was curriculum and program issues in gifted education, and the topic related to factors and development of giftedness was the second. Most studies have continuously focused on the mathematically and scientifically gifted students, and studies on gifted students in the areas of art, language, and other domains were scant. Issues on underachieving gifted students and underachievement were researched actively in 2005. More research has utilized elementary students as samples rather than middle or high school students. Young children under 7 have attracted much attention by researchers after 2004. Related to research methods, literature review was the most widely used, survey was the second, and experimental and correlational studies were the next. Implications related to results were discussed in depth.
