The purpose of this study is to compare the differences of the career development and the occupational view between giftedness in computer science and normal students in elementary school, so the results of this study provide assistance to the teacher for the direction and guidance on the career education of the giftedness in computer science in elementary school. This survey is based on 82 giftedness in computer science and 167 normal elementary school students. The questionnaires used in the study contain questions asking regarding the career development and the occupational view. The results of this study were as follows : First, according to the consciousness analysis result about career, the giftedness in computer science choose to be scientific technicians, the normal students choose to be artists. The both groups get career information from their parents, but they usually don't get career counseling from teachers. The education of giftedness in computer science does not contribute to changing their dreams, while normal students have no interest in computer science. Second, according to the career development analysis result, in comparison with non-gifted students, the gifted in information science had more success in all domains of career development. Third, according to the occupational view analysis result, the information science gifted students had higher meaningful rate than the normal students. Intrinsic domain' had higher meaningful rate among the subordinate domains, there is no difference in 'extrinsic domain' and 'incidental domain' between the information science gifted students and the normal students. Fourth, according to the correlation analysis result of the career development and the occupational view, there is a positive correlation in all domains of them. The high they are in the career development, the more they have the certain occupational view. Likewise, if they have the certain occupational view, they will be more successful in career development. Based on the findings of this research, the directing and guidance on the career education of giftedness in computer science in elementary school is same as the followings. We should educate parents regarding information about career for students who are under the influence of parents greatly and indicate them to apply to their children appropriately. In addition, for making them to have the positive image of the computer science, teacher should provide more information about the area of information and form various curriculums to induce more interests about computer science. We need to strengthen the career education for guiding the gifted to assist them to establish their own goal and realize them how to study and choose their career in the future. In school education field, it must develop and manage the definite and empirical program, not the career development program which is focused on only entrance into advanced school, to boost self-realization ability and the suitable career education program based on the correct understanding on giftedness in computer science. For this, through steady trying and research, teachers should be eater to develop the career education for students. Also, we have to implement the internal stability career education program, so it will help students to be aware of their job and career; therefore, students will be able to plan and prepare for their career in this rapid changing world.

고도의 산업화로 직업의 전문화 세분화 현상이 가속화되면서 개인으로 하여금 자신의 진로를 계획하고 준비하여 진로를 선택하게 하고, 선택한 진로를 계속 발전시켜 나갈 수 있도록 도와주는 과정인 진로교육의 필요성이 날로 증가하고 있다. 특히 진로 인식의 단계에 해당하는 초등학교 시기의 진로교육은 진로교육의 출발점에 해당하며 다음 단계의 진로교육에 영향을 미친다는 점에서 중요성을 가진다. 하지만 그 중요성에도 불구하고 시간과 자료의 부족으로 일선 초등학교에서는 지속적이며 체계적인 지도가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이러한 문제를 체결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 진로교육에 인터넷을 도입하여 시간과 공간의 제약이 업고, 개별 학습이 가능한 인터넷의 장점을 지니면서 초등학생들의 진로교육 단계와 진로 발달 수준에 적합한 웹 기반 진로교육 시스템을 설계해 보았다.
