This study is to investigate the creative thinking style and it's leaning that normal students and scientifically gifted students use mainly at processing information. Right Brain vs Left Brain Creativity Test(R/LCT) and Brain Preference Indicator(BPI) is taken to investigate the creative thinking style of normal students(N=144) and scientifically gifted students(N=97). In the R/LCT, the normal students responded that they prefer to use right-brain thinking rather than left-brain thinking. But the scientifically gifted students prefer to left-brain thinking. The normal students showed most preference for Holistic Processing of right side brain and they did most avoiding for Verbal Processing of left side brain. The scientifically gifted students showed most preference for Logical Processing of left side brain. And they did most avoiding for Random Processing of right side brain. There was a meaningful difference between left side brain preference group and right side brain preference group on Sequential, Symbolic, Logical, Verbal, Random, Intuitive, Fantasy-oriented Processing of normal Students. But the scientifically gifted students showed a meaningful difference in right side brain processing mainly. In other word, all the scientifically gifted students took an lean processing in Logical, Symbolic, Linear Processing, etc. In sum, the scientifically gifted students are unequal in at processing information against the normal students. So it is required more appropriate teaching-learning method based on the creative thinking style and it's leaning for effective gifted education.

In the past, delivering knowledge mainly, education focused on the development of left brain. However, as the importance of right brain is widely accepted, various approaches on education in creativity have been tried. With the advance in the research on the brain, it has been known that the left brain and the right brain are closely linked to work effectively while they are specialized to some functionalities differently. We developed an educational content exploiting Chinese characters to facilitate the balanced development of both brain. Making categorizations from Yin-yang and five elements of the universe, it consists of four stages. The first stage is to stimulate the brain with visual scandal. The second one, third one, and the fourth one are to develop the right brain, left brain, and both brain respectively. Through expert interview, the potential of the developed content as an efficacious method for brain development was verified.

The purpose of this study is to provide some necessary baseline data to the information prodigy related research through the study on the brain left/right tendency of information prodigies. Subjects were 298 gifted students(59 information, 79 mathematics, 80 science, 40 invention, 40 social science) and 114 general students summing up 412 in the schools of Daejeon metropolitan area. 'Brain Tendency Test' developed by Torrance and modified by Ko in Korean was used as a tool to measure the prodigies' brain tendencies. Data analysis has been done with the $x^2$ test of frequency with the alpha = .05. The results of this study are as follows. 1) The information gifted students have tendencies of utilizing right brain hemisphere at the most, both left/right brain(whole brain) utilization at the second, and left brain utilization at the last. 2) There was statistically no difference between information prodigies and general students in the left/right brain tendency. 3) There was statistically mild evidence to support the notion that there are some differences in the brain tendency between the group of information prodigies and the group of other area of the prodigies. The degree of inclination to utilize the whole brain hemisphere for the prodigies of the other area was the highest compare to other left/right brain utilization while the information prodigies tend to utilize the right brain hemisphere at the most. 4) The female information prodigies have tendencies of utilizing while brain area at the most, right brain utilization at the second, and left brain utilization at the last contrary to the brain utilization tendencies in the male information prodigies which are the same as the brain utilization tendencies of the information prodigies. However there was no difference in brain tendencies statistically between the two groups since the female subjects were too small.

창의성과 지능, 뇌 기능 분화의 관계와 수학 창의성과 지능과의 관계에 대해서는 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으나 뇌 기능 분화와 수학 창의성, 수학 창의적 문제 해결력과의 관계를 규명은 미흡한 상태이고, Balka(1974)의 연구에서는 수학 창의성과 일반 창의성은 관계가 없다는 연구결과가 있다. 이러한 사실을 바탕으로 생각할 때 뇌 기능 분화와 창의성간의 상관관계의 연구에서 얻어진 결과가 수학 창의성과 관계가 있는지 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서 남녀에 따른 뇌기능 분화의 차이와 좌뇌, 우뇌와 전뇌의 수행 수준이 수학 창의적 문제해결력과는 어떠한 관계가 있는지 알아보기 위해 대구광역시 내에 있는 초등학교 5학년의 40명을 대상으로 뇌 기능 분화 검사, 창의성 검사를 실시하여 서로의 관계를 분석했다. 연구 결과 뇌의 기능 분화 발달은 좌뇌는 남자가 우뇌는 여자가 높았으나 통계적으로 의미가 없었고, 전뇌 집단이 수학 창의적 문제해결력이 가장 높았으므로 전뇌를 고루 발달시킬 수 있는 교수전략에 관한 연구들이 계속 되어져야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 과학영재교육의 중요성이 증대되고 있는 현 시점에서 이의 효과적인 성취를 가져오기 위해선 우선 영재 판별의 시도가 다양해져야 한다는 필요성에서 출발하였다. 그 동안 영재 판별은 주로 인지수행의 결과적인 측면을 다루었다고 본다면, 본 연구는 인지수행의 과정적인 측면을 다루었다고 할 수 있다. 인지수행의 과정적인 측면은 뇌기능의 활동성을 파악하는 것으로 가능하다. 따라서 뇌의 활동성에 대한 뇌파측정 방법을 통해 좌.우뇌 기능상에서의 뇌파특성을 파악해 보므로써 영재성 판별의 한 방법으로서 그 가능성의 단초를 제공하는데 본 연구의 주목적이 있다. 이를 위해 영재성 판별 및 뇌기능 연구방법과 뇌의 정보처리과정에 대한 이론적인 고찰을 바탕으로 초등학교 4-6학년 아동 중 과학영재아 11명, 일반아 10을 연구대상으로 선정하여 PC용 뇌파측정기를 통해 이들의 뇌파특성을 분석한 결과, 다음과 같이 나타났다. 다음 표는 과학영재아 및 일반아의 아무런 과제를 수행하지 않은 상태의 기본뇌파와 과학 창의적 과제를 수행중인 상태에서의 뇌파를 좌뇌와 우뇌의 뇌파 활성도별로 그 차이를 분석한 것이다.

This study is to investigate the problem solving styles according to the left /right brain preference among earth science gifted students. We took the R/LCT and the test of BPI to investigate the brain preference of earth science gifted students (N=16), and took S-CPST to investigate the problem solving styles on them. In the R/LCT, the earth science gifted students were classified into 3 groups (8 left-brain preference students, 7 right-brain preference students, 1 middle-brain preference student). In the BPI, 8 students had the appearance of left-brain preference, whereas 8 students had the appearance of right-brain preference. According to the result of S-CPST, first the left brain preference students tended to resolve a problem into simple components, then they put together each simple component. They prefer to solve a problem using numbers and mathematical signs logically, but they were afraid of giving trouble to describe own idea with pictures. Whereas the right brain preference students solved a problem with 3 steps. First, they saw an overall form of problem. Second, they tried to analyze each simple component of it, and then, made up all in one. Also, the right brain preference students observed the intuitive pattern of problem first, and then suggested the various problem solving methods later, and they took a solving plan using a picture in detail. In sum, earth science gifted students are unequal in problem solving styles according to the left/right brain preference. Thus, a teaching-learning method needs to be developed based on left/right brain preference for more effective gifted education.

Our educational system clearly places much greater value on left hemisphere learning. Students who process information in other ways are at a serious disadvantage and may not be learning efficiently. Since mind mapping emphasizing visual and spatial language, it helps students to use the whole brain and promotes more effective comprehension. The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of the instruction using mind map on the science achievement of students. A pretest-posttest control group design was employed. Subjects were 153 male and female, first grade students in a middle school. A control group of 83 was instructed with a traditional teaching method, and an experimental group of 70 was instructed by using a mind mapping strategy. Two groups were treated for 50 hours during 17 weeks. Tolerance's 'Style Of Learning And Thinking(SOLAT)' was used to assess students' lateralization preferences. A 30-item multiple choice posttest was used to assess students' achievement. To analyze the data, we used an analysis of covariance(ANCOVA) and i-tests. It was found that 21.6% of students was left brain dominant, 31.4%, right brain dominant and 47.1 % was integrated style. There was no gender difference in hemispheric dominance. Significant differences existed between the test scores when they were taught by using a mind map. Mind mapping turned out to be a valuable learning technique for the right brain students, helping them to achieve the same level of subject mastery as left brain students. There was a significant difference between males and females in relation to mind map application. Female scored significantly higher than males.

The purpose of the study was to examine any difference in academic achievement, self-concept and achievement motivation by the types of hemispheric dominance. 189 high school students participated in the study. They were taken three kinds of different psychological tests i.e., the brain hemispheric preference (dominance), the self-concept and the achievement motivation tests. Three types of hemispheric dominance were classified as the left hemispheric, the right hemispheric and whole brain dominances. The results showed that students with the right hemispheric dominance showed lower academic achievement and self concept than the other groups students. Those who had left hemisphere dominance showed higher achievement motivation than the right hemispheric students. These results could be interpreted that education in the high school in Korea mainly focuses left hemisphere related topics or subjects.
