This study compared levels of mathematically talented students' statistical thinking with those of non-talented students in statistical modeling and sampling distribution understanding. t tests were conducted to test for statistically significant differences between mathematically gifted students and non-gifted students. In case of statistical modeling, for both of elementary and middle school graders, the t tests show that there is a statistically significant difference between mathematically gifted students and non-gifted students. Table of frequencies of each level, however, shows that levels of mathematically gifted students' thinking were not distributed at the high levels but were overlapped with those of non-gifted students. A similar tendency is also present in sampling distribution understanding. These results are thought-provoking results in statistics instruction for mathematically talented students.

This study was carried out to evaluate the status of oral health in physically or mentally handicapped students. The status of oral health in 597 handicapped students of six special education institutes and 731 normal students in Chonbuk province were inspected by a dental hygienist from August to November of 1999. 1) The DT index(Decayed Teeth index) was significantly higher in handicapped students comparing with those of normal students. The proportions of children having gingivitis and malocclusion were also significantly higher in handicapped group (p<0.01). 2) The incidences of dental caries, gingivitis and malocclusion were significantly higher in mentally retarded students comparing with those of physical or sensory impairment groups(p<0.01). 3) Handicapped students participating in the regular school teeth-control program showed significantly low incidences of gingivitis and malocclusion comparing with non-participants. However, dental caries had no relationships with teeth control program. There were no differences between commuting and domitory-resident students in the incidences of dental caries, gingivitis and malocclusion.
