Even though there are many models for educational curriculum of giftedness for children, there is little model for educational methodology and curriculum of information science giftedness of children. A curriculum model for information science giftedness of children is proposed on this study. This model's characteristics is a modular integrated curriculum model combined the mathematics, natural science, and information science. Because there is no regular curriculums of information science at elementary school. this model is valided. Also, There is also need to train multiple areas in the field of information science to expose information science giftedness of the children, This model is to minimize the relationship between modules, and to maximize the cohesion in the each module. As for result of statistics analysis for 60 giftedness students during three years, we know the effectiveness of this model.

Researches on prodigies and education for those have recently been progressing in many fields. Education for the gifted, which was basically on Math and Science on the start, now includes Intelligence, Invention, Cultural Sciences, Art, and so on. With the progression towards extremely developed information society, interests in and importance on the courses for the talented get more and more focused. The problem is, however, choosing the gifted and educating them is not an easy matter, since the history of Intelligence Technology is relatively short and it is hard to identify prodigies and categorize what kinds of courses they need. Also, from 2010 "Science Education Institute for the Gifted" freshmen draft, paper-based admission test has been discarded and teacher-recommendation through long-term observation introduced. Therefore needs have been increasing for quality selection methods including observation records, recommendation letters, and portfolios. Reformation on teaching and creative selection methods has been accentuated because of lack of academic base for selecting candidates for education for the gifted. Because of all those mentioned above, reliances for the selection processes during the last three years and the one in 2010, observation records, recommendations and portfolios included, have been analyzed and evaluated. Several factors which can be used instead of paper-based tests were coordinated. Based on it, it was highly possible and has been successful to draft all the applicants in cognitive, sentimental, and creative fields.

Leadership education is part of the goals of special education for the gifted of computer science. However, there has been little research effort on leadership curriculums and programs specially designed for the gifted of computer science by reflecting their characteristics. Thus this paper was conducted to design educational contents of leadership for the gifted of computer science as follows:First, common elements were extracted from the goals and characteristics of special education for the gifted of computer science and from the previous studies through analysis. Then basic data were selected helpful to choose educational contents of leadership for the gifted of computer science. Second, the definitions and characteristics of leadership were analyzed along with the previous studies to find common elements. By defining relations between the gifted of computer science and leadership, the investigator also examined the leadership characteristics to be considered when choosing educational contents. Third, educational contents of leadership for the gifted of computer science were selected and designed based on the leadership elements developed by the Korean Educational Development Institute(2005). Fourth, leadership activity logs and reading materials were developed of the education for the gifted of computer science based on the educational contents for their leadership. And fifth, Delphi analysis was carried out to test the validity of the leadership activity logs and reading materials developed in the study in two sessions; the first one tested the overall design of the educational contents, and the second one did the detailed contents of the activity logs and reading materials.

In order to cultivate the human resources needed in the 4th industrial revolution era, it is necessary to select the gifted students and educate them systematically. Although excellent gifted students are important in a specific field, more convergent talents in the fields of mathematics, science, and information are required. The purpose of this study is to investigate how evaluation factors reflecting the characteristics of information gifted students affect the selection of science gifted students of a university gifted education center. In the characteristics of information gifted students, the cognitive factors such as Rule creation ability, Reasoning ability, Efficiency ability, Generalization ability, Structuring ability and Abstraction ability were highly correlated in selecting the science gifted students. Correlations in the applicants group of students for science gifted education center are higher than those in the first passers group and higher than those in the final successful candidates group. This means that the factors that shows the characteristics of the information gifted have a great influence on the selection of the science gifted.

본 연구는 2010년 전국 정보과학기술(IT) 영재교육을 위한 학생 선발 과정을 중심으로 과거의 선발 과정과 차이점을 비교해보고, 정보과학기술에 관심이 있는 교육생을 대상으로 모집된 결과로 부터 성별, 지역별, 학교별 분포를 분석하였다. 분석결과에서 남학생과 여학생의 비율이 1 : 0.29로 나타났는데 이는 남학생보다, 여학생이 정보과학기술을 접하기 어려운 분야로 인식하고 있다는 것이다. 두 번째로, 지역별 분포비율을 조사한 결과 부산지역이 가장 많은 관심 비율을 보이고 있었는데, 이는 부산에 한국과학영재학교를 비롯한 부산광역시 교육청 산하 정보영재교육원과 같은 정보영재교육의 참여도가 많은 학생들이 지원한 것으로 보인다. 세번째, 중학생과 고등학생의 비율을 분석한 결과 중학생이 고등학생보다 약간 우위를 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 좀 더 일찍 자신의 적성에 적합한 영재교육의 혜택을 경험해보기 위해서이며, 학업의 내용이 학교 교과과정에만 관심이 있는 것이 아니라, 자기계발을 위한 학부모와 학생들에 관심이 높아지고 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 국가적 IT 브랜드의 위상이 높아지고 IT의 발전이 학생들에게 많은 영향을 주었다고 본 연구에서는 판단된다. 정보과학기술 영재교육의 학생 선발 방식이 새롭게 전환되면서 무엇보다도 전국의 많은 학생들이 IT영재교육원의 교육 혜택을 받게 되었다는 점과, 많은 학생들이 온라인 교육을 통해서 소셜 커뮤니티를 형성하여 창의력과 자기계발 잠재력을 키울 수 있는 계기가 되었다는 점에서 큰 의미가 있다고 할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of IT gifted middle school students. The researcher analyzed the observational assessments of 16 gifted noddle school students through 19 education programs conducted from During the latest 3 years at the Science Gifted Children Education Center. The researcher hypothesized that IT gifted children would be outstanding in computer skills and information processing abilities. But they were not much different from gifted children in the other areas. Therefore there are two suggestions resulted from the study. First, it might not be meaningful to sub-categorize the subjects because of their developmental stages. The tenth grade students observed in this study were in their formal operational period by Piaget. Therefore, it would be desirable to teach them integrated areas rather than separated areas. Second, gifted children could be excellent in most areas. Due to their curiosity, task tenacity, and intellectual abilities, they could show excellence in any areas. Therefore, it is important to elaborate the educational programs so that the gifted children can develop their abilities in each areas.

A basic ability test is conducted in recent days to screen gifted students who could make a contribution to the enhancement of national competitiveness in knowledge-based information society. A basic ability is here defined as an ability related to creativity and thinking faculty, and CS literacy is ruled out, though it seems that everybody needs CS literacy in knowledge-based information society. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between CS literacy and giftedness. The subjects in this study were 61 gifted students. The selected students participated in an CS program during a six-week period of time in order to find out the effect of the program. And it's found that there were gaps among the students in CS literacy according to the level of giftedness, and information science literacy has a statistically significant correlation to giftedness. Therefore a screening test of gifted students should cover CS literacy, as CS literacy seems to be mandatory for every field of information society.
