  • The purpose of this study was to investigate knowledge types which the elementary science gifted students would use when solving a science problem, and to examine characteristics and types that were shown in the science problem solving process. For this study, 39 fifth graders and 38 sixth graders from Institute of Education for the Gifted Science Class were sampled in one National University of Education. The results of this study were as follows. First, for science problem solving, the elementary science gifted students used procedural knowledge and declarative knowledge at the same time, and procedural knowledge was more frequently used than declarative knowledge. Second, as for the characteristics in the understanding step of solving science problems, students tend to exactly figure out questions' given conditions and what to seek. In planning and solving stage, most of them used 3~4 different problem solving methods and strategies for solving. In evaluating stage, they mostly re-examined problem solving process for once or twice. Also, they did not correct the answer and had high confidence in their answers. Third, good solvers had used more complete or partially applied procedural knowledge and proper declarative knowledge than poor solvers. In the problem solving process, good solvers had more accurate problem-understanding and successful problem solving strategies. From characteristics shown in the good solvers' problem solving process, it is confirmed that the education program for science gifted students needs both studying on process of acquiring declarative knowledge and studying procedural knowledge for interpreting new situation, solving problem and deducting. In addition, in problem-understanding stage, it is required to develop divided and gradual programs for interpreting and symbolizing the problem, and for increasing the understanding.

  • The object of this study is to investigate the views of scientifically gifted children about the purpose of scientists' experiments and school science experiments. The children's views were examined using a open-ended questionnaire survey. And then the responses from the children were analyzed with categorization. The results from the study are as follows: First, the children's views about the purpose of scientists' experiments and school science experiments were classified to 2 top-level, 5 mid-level and 21 sub-level categories. Second, it was found that the children considered internal values of doing experiments are more worthy than the social and personal usefulness of the experiments. Third, the gifted children mentioned most frequently that the purposes of the scientist experiment is 'to get the evidences for their theory and argument which is unusual in the regular children's views. Also the discovery of new phenomena and materials, and the generation of new theories and ideas were mentioned as purposes of the scientist experiments. Fourth, the students frequently stated that school science experiments support effective learning of science subject enhancing subject interests and better explanation/understanding. Fifth, relatively many students thought that the purposes of school science experiments are different with those of scientist experiments. Based on the results from the study, some educational suggestions are discussed.

  • This study aims to develop a scientific creativity task which science-gifted elementary students can conduct on a field trip to a botanical garden, and to analyze the results from conducting the task. For this, 38 science-gifted fifth-graders from the Science-Gifted Education Center, located at the Office of Education, participated in a field trip to a botanical garden, as a part of their program. Prior to the program, researchers developed a scientific creativity task for outdoor education program, along with science education specialists and teachers. The tasks were to observe plants, and to create something new and useful, or, in other words, scientifically creative, based on the plants' characteristics. The students could submit at most three ideas. Also, they assessed their own ideas, and selected an idea that they thought was the most creative. The results were analyzed by using the scientific creativity formula. The main findings from this study are as follows. First, it was found that the scientific creativity formula had an upward bias in assessing originality. Second, the students tended to assess the usefulness of their own ideas more generously. Third, the correlation between self-assessment results and scores from the scientific creativity formula for originality was r=.43. Fourth, in formula-based assessments, the correlation between originality scores and usefulness scores was relatively high, at r=.56. Fifth, the correlation between a student's scientific creativity score and the number of his or her ideas was very low, at r=.23. Sixth, when the ideas chosen as the most creative by students were compared with the ideas that had the highest scores in formula-based assessments, it was shown that 8 out of 19 students (42.1%) did not choose the idea that appeared to be the most creative when graded by the formula. This study is concluded by discussing the lessons from the scientific creativity task analysis for primary science education and gifted education.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the attitudes toward science and support for scientific activities of the scientific gifted students' parents and the general students' parents in elementary school. The objects of the study were 99 scientific gifted students and their parents and 433 general elementary school students and their parents. The instruments for the measurement of attitudes toward science included three scales: cognition :About value of science, affection toward science and science learning, and cognitive participation in scientific activities. The instrument to measure parents' support for scientific activities included two scales: indirect support and direct support. The results of the study showed that the attitudes toward science of scientific gifted elementary students' parents were more positive than the attitudes toward science of general elementary students' parents. Also the gifted elementary students' parents supported many more scientific activities for their children with various methods than the general elementary students' parents. Their preferring support methods for scientific activities included 16 items including the collection of information about science education, the record of TV science programs, purchase of scientific books, subscription of periodical publication about science, preparing material for scientific activities, and reading scientific book with children.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze effects of teaching materials for elementary science gifted conception about object recognition. Elementary science gifted have misconceptions that they can see in lightness. They can not explain how a shadow is made. This paper reports in-depth investigation on elementary science gifted's understanding of object recognition focusing on process of light. A program is developed to elementary science gifted in the subject matter. The tutorial emphasizing the process of light consists of pre-test, worksheet, and post-test. The Tutorial has 4 steps; darkness and light, light on things, light reached eyes, structure of the eyes. Each steps has 2~4 experiments. Through the tutorial, we expect their misconceptions can be changed into scientific conceptions. For the research and analysis, a questionnaire is posed to 39 elementary science gifted at M Elementary School in D Metropolitan City. The first method of product analysis makes a comparative study of pre-test, post-test score, and hake gain each test. As a result, total score of all student was raised. And hake gain of pre-test(II) is 0.6, hake gain of post-test is 0.68. It is Medium gain. Also, elementary science gifted could understand how we see through the tutorial emphasizing process of light. And their misconceptions can be changed into scientific conceptions.

  • The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of STEAM program on the scientific communication skills and the learning flow of elementary gifted students. The main findings of this study are as follows: First, STEAM program that mathematical, technical, engineering and art factors were combined based on basic concepts of science were developed. Seconds, the change in the scientific communication skills of experimental group applying STEAM program had statistically meaningful difference (p<.05). Third, the flow of experimental class improved, but it had no meaningful difference statistically (p>.05). But it is expected that continuing level adjusted STEAM program might have positive effect on improving the flow with the following three reasons: 1) The gifted students' flow level on learning before experiment was rather too high to expect short term effect. 2) It was hard for them to achieve flow experience because topic difficulties and students' capacities were not balanced. 3) topic commitments and autotelic behaviors of gifted students were observed during classes. Fourth, by the result of the student satisfaction questionnaire survey on this program, students actively participated in the STEAM program with interest and curiosity. As achieved self-directed problem solving, versatile communication activities and success experiences, their class satisfaction was high. Based on such results, it was expected that the gifted class applied of STEAM program could enhance scientific communication capacity of the elementary gifted students and would further positively influence flow of learning as well. In addition, it was considered to have integrated approach value to elementary gifted and talented education in the aspect that it could satisfy various educational demands of gifted students.

  • This study aims to analyse the relationship between multiple intelligence and scientific creativity of science-gifted elementary students focusing on the subject of biology. For this, 37 science-gifted fifth-graders in the Science-Gifted Education Center at an Office of Education conducted a multiple intelligence test. In addition, researchers collected science-gifted students' results of scientific creativity activity at the botanical garden field trip. The main findings from this study are as follows: First, strong intelligence was logical-mathematical intelligence for gifted students, and weak intelligence was found to be naturalistic intelligence for them. Second, there was no significant correlation in the relationship between multiple intelligence and scientific creativity of science-gifted students. Third, as a result of independent two sample t-test for each intelligence and scientific creativity scores divided into the upper and lower groups, only verbal-linguistic intelligence statistically differed significantly at the level of p<.05 (t=2.13, df=35, p=0.04). Fourth, as a result of conducting a two-way analysis to see if there were any interaction effects, verbal-linguistic and visual-spatial, logical-mathematical and visual-spatial, logical-mathematical and bodily-kinesthetic, and visual-spatial and musical-rhythmic intelligence all showed significant values at the level of p<.05 level in interaction effects on originality element comprising scientific creativity. Fifth, an analysis of students with high naturalistic intelligence showed that their scores of scientific creativity tasks conducted at the botanical garden field trip were all lower. Based on the results of this study, this study discussed the implications of scientific creativity learning linking multiple intelligence in primary science education and gifted education.

  • This study was designed to compare the understanding of ordinary elementary school students and scientifically gifted students about scientists. 473 fourth, fifth, and sixth graders in ordinary elementary schools and 40 students attending scientific educational institutions for the gifted were studied with the help of questionnaires and interviews. The survey showed that there were no significant differences between the two subject groups in relation to the external images of scientists. The subjects turned out to have low fixed external images. The scientifically gifted students had a better understanding of the internal images of scientists than ordinary elementary school students. Both the subject groups fumed out to be influenced by the press media and off-campus education, thinking that scientists served as inventors producing something useful in daily lift rather than as researchers studying natural phenomena or laws. It was found out that both groups admired Edison. The ordinary students respected Einstein and Jang Yeong-Sil whereas the scientifically gifted students respected Curie, Jug Yeong-Sil, and Nobel. The subjects admired them because of their achievements instead of their backgrounds or individual characteristics.

  • This study attempted a new approach to the methods of identifying the scientifically giftedness in relation to the recent emphasis on the education for the scientifically gifted. This study focused on the processes of the cognition achievements, while only the results have been studied until now. Theoretical backgrounds about the ways of identifying the gifted, the research procedures about brain functions, and the information procedures about brain data were reviewed. Eleven scientifically gifted and 10 normal children from the 4th to the 6th grades were selected to analyze the characteristics of their brain waves with brain wave measuring instrument for PCs. The results showed that the scientifically gifted, while studying scientific and creative problems, used their right brain more than their left. When solving these problems, they utilized more of their theta and alpha brain waves than those normal children. In addition, theta brain waves of the scientifically gifted were rather active during these activities and this phenomenon was more distinctive in their right brain rather than their left. Thereby, this study implies that the characteristics of brain waves during the moments of solving certain problems can be used as a method to identify the scientifically gifted.

  • 의사소통식 영어교수법은 Widdowson (1978)이래, 과거 20여 년간의 여러 외국어 교수 방법들을 (침묵식 교수법, Gattegno; 자연적 교수법, Terrell & Krashen; 전신반웅 교수법, Asher; 집단언어 학습법, Curran; 암시적 교수법, Lozanov) 거치면 서, 이들 중에서 의사소통을 중심으로 한 여러 가지 방법을 총괄하여, 명실공히 외국어 교육 방법의 중심으로 그 자리를 갈수록 확고히 잡아가고 있다. 의사소통식 교수법은 우선 언어란 의사소통을 위한 수단이며, 의사소통은 사회 속에서 일어나는 사회 언어적 행위로 본다. 따라서, 외국어 교육의 목적을 무엇보다도 의사소통 기능의 숙달에 두는 것이다. 일반적인 의사소통 상황을 보면 발화내용의 문법적 정확성은 그 상황에 대한 내용의 적절성 여부에 비하면, 부수적인 것이다. 예를 들면, 사과를 하는 의사소통기능을 공부하면서, 사과하는 표현으로 Sorry라는 말을 썼다고 하자. 이때, 영어는 주어 생략 언어가 아니기 때문에, Sorry 대신에 문법적으로 완전한 문장인 I'm sorry 로 표현해야 한다는 문법적인 문제보다는 사과하는 표현이 그 상황에서 적절하게 쓰인 것인지를 묻는 것에 초점을 맞춘 것이 의사소통식 교수 방법이다. 현재, 초등학교 16 종 영어 교과서도 의사소통 기농들을 적절한 상황에 맞춰서 의사소통식 교수 방법의 정신을 비교적 잘 반영하고 있다. 그러나, 발음에서만큼은 아직도 의사소통식 교수방법을 무시하고, 정확한 발음의 명시적인 설명이나, 예시에 그치는 경향이 뚜렷하다. 이러한 경향은 교육부에서 고시한 제6차 교육과정과 이에 따른 해설서에서 되풀이되고 있다. 발음지도에 많은 관심을 기울여 많은 양의 지면을 할애하고 있음에도 불구하고, 전후에 흐르는 의사 소통식 영어교육의 맥을 완전히 끊고, 단지 정확한 발음의 해부학적 예시와 기술에 그 치고 있다 (임영재 외 1995). 이러한 발음기관의 단면도를 이용한 해부학적 발음의 예시는 특정 자음의 정확한 혀의 위치를 알려 줄 수는 있지만, 발음훈련을 대신하지는 못한다. 예를 들어, 자전거를 타고자 하는 사람이 자전거의 페달을 밟았을 때, 그 동력전달 과정을 자세히 소개한 책자를 읽었다고 해서, 자전거를 탈 수 있는 것은 아니다. 역시, 자전거를 타고자 하면, 실제로 타고 넘어지면서 배우게 되는 것이다. 그리고, 발음훈련의 경우 교재의 내용이나 의사소통 기능은 의사소통식으로 가르치면서도 발음만큼은 아직도 원어민의 입모양을 활용한 듣고 따라하기 식의 전통적인 방법의 발음훈련을 계속하고 있다. 이러한 전통적 발음훈련 방법은 구체적으로 다음 장에서 제시되겠지만, 초등학교에서 듣고 따라하기나 듣고 골라내기와 같은 방법으로 발음훈련을 하면, 많은 학생들이 쉽게 지루해 하고, 아마 영어시간 중에서 가장 싫어하는 시간이 발음연습 시간이 될 가능성이 많이 있다. 현재 의사소통식 교수 방법을 모태로 한 교과서에서도 의사소통식 발음지도법을 쓰지 않았다는 것은 새로이 시작하는 초등학교 영어교육에서 아쉬운 점이라 아니할 수 없다. 초등학교 학생들에 대한 발음 지도의 핵심은 그들의 지적, 정서적, 신체적 특징을 잘 고려해야 한다. 초등학교 학생은 지적, 정서적, 신체적으로 성장기에 있어서, 호기심이 많고, 모방성이 강하며, 감수성이 예민하여 마음에 상처를 받기도 쉽다. 그리고, 무엇보다도, 끊임없이 신체적으로 움직이고 싶어한다. 이러한 학생들의 특정 을 반영하여 발음을 지도하는 길은 역시 초등학교 교과서의 다른 영역들처럼, 학생들은 움직이는 활동을 하면서 재미를 느끼고, 교사는 이들 활동을 통해서 교수목표를 성취하는 쪽으로 맞추어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 발음지도가 필요한 이유와 요인을 살펴본다. 그리고, 전통적인 발음지도 방법을 일별해 보고, 의사소통식 발음지도법을 제시하는 순으로 논의를 전개하기로 한다.
