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.

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.

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.

The researcher conducts the following research to correctly identify the gifted children of science information. First, the researcher makes sufficient theoretic research on gifted children for the sake of definition and identification of the gifted children of information science, and reconstructed the identification principles, factors and procedures of the gifted children of information science on the basis of those of the gifted children of math and science the theories of a number of scholars and presented new methods of identifying new gifted children of information science. Second, the researcher set the identification procedures of the gifted children of information science and the relevant content and conducted the identification of gifted children through the observation and evaluation of sixth graders through three stages. Third, the researcher compares and analyzed the selected gifted children based on the identification procedures and ordinary groups of students excellent in math and science in terms of task achievement and looked into validity.

창의성이 강조되는 시대에 영재 교육의 중요성은 점차 높아지고 있다. 그러나 정보 영재를 위한 연구는 수학이나 과학 영재에 비해 미미한 수준이며, 특히 초등 정보영재를 위한 프로그래밍 교육은 창의적 알고리즘을 개발하는 능력을 기르는 것보다 학습자의 수준에 맞지 않는 특정 프로그래밍 언어의 사용법이나 문법 위주의 교육에 치중하고 있다는 우려의 목소리가 높았다. 이에 본 논문에서는 초등 정보영재의 알고리즘적 사고력을 향상시키기 위한 실생활 중심의 컨텐츠를 제안하고자 한다. 초등학생의 생활과 밀접하게 연관된 주제를 선정하여 학습 동기를 유발하고, Polya의 문제해결모형을 토대로 스스로 이야기를 만들고 그 안에서 알고리즘을 찾아가는 과정을 통해 알고리즘적 사고력을 향상시킬 수 있도록 컨텐츠를 설계하였다.

정보영재를 교육시키기 위한 프로그래밍 교육방법의 많은 문제점에도 불구하고 프로그래밍교육을 통해 얻을 수 있는 잠재적인 교육효과가 크기 때문에 프로그래밍 교육은 컴퓨터 정보영재 교육과정에서 빠질 수 없는 부분이다. 본 연구는 정보영재들에게 프로그래밍 교육을 실시할 때 프로그래밍 교육방법의 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 도구로 로봇을 소개하고, 로봇을 이용한 체계적인 로봇프로그래밍 교육과정의 개발로 문제해결력, 창의력, 사고력, 판단력 등의 고등인지기능을 신장시키고자 한다.

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.

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.
