The children of IQ 130 and over was gifted group, and those of IQ 115-130 was superior group, and those of below IQ 115 was average group.

As a result, it was found that the Korean version of checklist for behavioral characteristics of superior children was very useful as a screening test for gifted correlations between checklist scores and verbal, performance and full IQ scores were significantly high, which means that IQ and checklist scores were very related. Twenty out of 50 items were found to be discrimination items between gifted and superior group. However, there was no significant difference between grades and gender on the checklist score.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop and validate of the K-SRBCSS (Korean Version of Scales for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students), considering educational-social context and linguistic differences. The developed K-SRBCSS includes 58 items, which are consisted of 55 items from translation of original SRBCSS into Korean and three newly developed items that reflect Korean situation. Teachers and parents rated students' behavioral characteristics about 58 items in 6 scales. The results of this study were as follows. K-SRBCSS is valid and reliable scale. The differences of the rating of characteristics between gifted students and general students if significant. Gifted students got higher scores on every scales than general students. It means K-SRBCSS is useful to discriminate the gifted. The differences of the rating between parents and teachers showed insignificant results, which mean that teachers and parents rate students's characteristics similarly. K-SRBCSS will be a very useful scale that could find some hidden talents if this scales would use complementarily with other sophistication methods in identifying the gifted.

  • He purpose of this study is to design and apply a pilot assessment tools for scientifically gifted and talented elementary school students with lower grades. The assessment tool consists of three parts: homeroom teachers' recommendation, paper and pencil test and performance tests. The tools are verified whether they are suitable for unique characteristics of young children and enable to attract active participation. For suitability check, students' performance tests were inductively analyzed and 30 behavioral patterns were shown which were included and partially exceeded the level of lower elementary students' performance expectation in NGSS. As a result, we concluded that assessment tool developed in this study will be effective in discriminating young pupils' scientific talents. Then for participation check, we compared the number of coding references as an indicator of participation. Two cases were found that students with high interest participated passively in performance tests. We found these 'passive participants' had excessive scientific experiences and extremely narrow region of interest, during the process of complex interpretation between the results of this assessment tool and in-depth interviews with homeroom teachers. We found out in this study that newly developed tools can be used in school scene after modifying and elaboration through accumulation of more case studies.
