In the knowledge-based society, IT literacy and application of a person become a measure of personal competitiveness. As IT industry is of great important nationally, many countries are trying to make an effort to promote IT industry. In this sense, identification and fostering of the gifted children in IT become an important national task since, in IT industry, usually only a few prodigies have led whole IT industry. Currently gifted education aims for convergent gifted education according to government policy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate correlation of information subject and convergent subject for the gifted children in IT. For this purpose, the gifted children in IT who attended a gifted science education center attached to a university at Seoul Metropolitan Area are selected. Their grades during their the period of attendance are collected and analysed. The statistical results show that there is a meaningful correlation between information subject and convergent subject for the gifted children in IT. It means that the higher scores information subject is, the higher scores convergent subject is. The results can be used to make or change gifted curriculum and education contents for gifted IT education.

Since the science of information is appearing no less important than mathematics and natural science as our society is rapidly becoming information-oriented, the necessity to distinguish prodigies of this field and to educate them as early as possible is also being emphasized. Unfortunately, however, the pertinent study is still in its beginning stage. In this study, I have reviewed the character, definition and method to distinguish prodigies and the procedure of developing a test, as well as researching and analyzing the proper process of distinguishing prodigies, through theoretical contemplation on the method of distinguishing the gifted children. Also, I have characterized and defined the information prodigies after clarifying the character of 'Discrete Mathematics' which becomes the basis of the science of information, paving the way to make a test method that can distinguish those information prodigies. As a result of our applying the system by using the distinction test, it turned out that the distinction test was pretty reliable. Accordingly, it can be utilized as a significant distinction test for information prodigies in the forthcoming future.

본 연구의 목적은 지속적인 영재학생 관리를 위해 학생 관리 시스템의 구축 방향을 제시함으로써 영재교육 수혜 경험에 대한 정보들의 누적이 학생들의 진로 진학이나 자아실현을 하기까지 도움을 제공할 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 학생 관리시스템 구축에 대한 선행 연구를 분석하였으며 분석 결과 효율적인 교육과정 운영을 중심으로 학생의 인적 사항을 관리하거나 그 기관 내에서 학생을 재 선발하고, 학부모와 상담, 영재교육에 대한 연구 자료로 활용하는 데 그치고 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 학생 관리 시스템의 구축 방향으로 전국 영재교육기관에 공통적으로 적용 관리할 수 있는 중앙 센터의 마련, 영재교육기관 간의 시스템 연계, 학생 중심의 시스템 구축을 통한 자아실현 및 진로 진학에 도움 제공, 인성 측면을 반영할 수 있는 시스템 구축, 구체적인 진로 상담 작성이 가능한 항목 마련, 교육과정 반영, 영재교육 보조교사나 전담교사 파견을 통한 철저한 학생 관리를 제시하였다.

The current curriculums for the gifted and talented students in informatics are not practical and systematic in teaching methods because it is hard to provide the gifted and talented students with appropriate education individualized at their own levels. Furthermore, there are still some problems in previous curriculums for the gifted and talented students in informatics as follows. First, there are not sufficient on previous curriculums for the gifted and talented education in informatics in middle and high schools. Second, previous curriculums in use do not contribute to cultivating the creativity, problem-solving, logical thinking abilities and insight for the gifted students. Third, there is no curriculum, which reflects on individual's ability and aptitude, for the gifted and talented education in informatics. Therefore, in this paper, we suggest stepwise enrichment curriculums that enables the gifted and talented students to be equipped with creative problem-solving skills and computational thinking abilities. In this regard, at first, The problem with existing research and educational institutes for the gifted and talented in informatics were analyzed. Next we developed a concrete stepwise enrichment curriculum in accordance with the practical educational objectives of the gifted and talented in informatics.

초등정보영재학생들은 서로 다른 특성과 수준을 가지고 있어 획일화된 교육으로는 그들의 능력을 효과적으로 돕는데 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 스크래치 프로그램을 활용하여 초등정보영재학생들의 개별적인 특성과 수준을 효과적으로 돕는 교육 방법으로 R&E 멘토링 프로그램을 적용해보고 그 효과와 확대적용 가능성을 탐색해 보았다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 시사점을 도출하였다. 첫째, 영재교육에서 R&E 멘토링 프로그램은 일반 영재교육 프로그램의 보완적인 프로그램으로 적극 도입할 필요가 있다. 둘째, R&E 멘토링 프로그램은 영재학생들의 자기주도적 학습능력, 동기유발을 통한 몰입 및 과제집착력, 문제해결력과 컴퓨팅적 사고력을 동시에 길러 줄 수 있는 방법이 될 수 있다. 셋째, 본 연구를 통해 R&E 멘토링 프로그램은 영재학생들의 수준별, 개별적 특성을 고려한 수업이 가능함에 그 효과성을 찾아볼 수 있다.

This study proposed a new education program for the information science gifted talent using unplugged computing and EPL that are new teaching approach of computer science. We analyzed unplugged computing contents and developed the advanced educational program for the information science gifted talent. We also made up a curriculum and teaching strategy and applied the elementary information science gifted talents the developed program with unplugged computing. In order to verify an effectiveness of new program, we tested t-test and found the positive results between before and after the program as well as an experimental group and the comparison group. In interview and observation about the gifted talents, we also saw that the students evaluated an unplugged computing lesson to the positive responses. We expect the proposed unplugged computing program will give many help for teaching the information science gifted talent.

It's one of the most important problem for modern society to find the information-science gifted students and educate them systematically. However, We have only initial phase researches on this matter and a few results. This paper researches and analyzes the attitudes and attractiveness toward computers and moral senses of information-communication of the information-science gifted elementary school students. One object is analysis of 100 information-science gifted students living in Busan in respect of school grade and gender. The other object compares them to a group of 100 ordinary students and 100 high-achieving students that consists of 5th and 6th grade students from A-class elementary school of 6 local office of education in Busan. The result of this paper may help in future the research on education for the information-science gifted students.

In current knowledge-based society, development and growth of IT industry is essential for a nation's competitiveness since economic power depends on IT industry in many countries. Thus, it is necessary to identify and foster gifted children in IT as early as possible. The purpose of this paper is to identify if EPL is proper language for testing programming ability of the gifted children in IT. Scratch language is selected as an EPL. For the experiment, gifted children from a gifted institution at some university are selected and their programming test scores are gathered and analyzed. Based on statistical analysis, the conclusion is that Scratch language is not proper for testing programming ability for the gifted children in IT. This result will be helpful for selection examinations, curriculum for gifted education in IT.
