  • The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of Gifted Education Isnstitute of Korea (GEIK) programs for gifted children especially in the areas of reasoning skills and creativity, thereby proving the effectiveness of the program. The subjects are 136 (103 boys and 33 girls) fourth, fifth, and sixth grade gifted children, who have participated in GEIK programs for more than six moths. They were stratified by the length of participation in GEIK programs. Ninety four children have participated for more than one year. Forty-two children have participated for less than one year. Both groups are rather homogeneous in IQ scores and school achievement levels at the time of enterance into GEIK programs. Both a Group Assessment of Logical Thinking (GAIT) and a Creativity test were used for the study on reasoning skills and creativity. GALT, developed by V. Roadranka, R. H. Yeany and M. J. Padilla in 1983, consists of 12 questions. It is classified into six subscales: conservation, proportional reasoning, controlling variables, provability reasoning, correlational reasoning, and combinatorial reasoning. The reliability of this test is .85. This test recommends to classify the stages of child development as follows according to the total test score. 0-4 point: Concrete Stage, 5-7 points: Transitional Stage, and 8 and above points: Formal stage. The Creativity Test was developed by Y. Lee and W. Chung (1971). It consists of four components: fluency, flexibility, originality, and openness. Only both fluency and openness were used in this study. In order to analyze data, T-Test, Intercorrelational Analyses, ANOVA, and Nultiple Regression were used. Followings are the results deduced from the above analoyses of the data. First, 43.48% of the subjects were on Concrete Stage, 36.78% were on the Transitional Stage, and 19.86% were on the Formal Stage in the developmental level classified by Piaget. Second, the students who have participated in GEIK programs more than one year acquired significantly higher score in GALT than the students who have participated in GEIK programs less than one year. Third, boys showed higher score in GALT than girls did. Fourth, there were statistically significant intercorrelations between six subscales of GALT. Fifth, the students who have participated in GEIK programs more than one year acquired significantly higher score in openness of creativity test than the students who have participated in GEIK programs less than one year. There were no significant differences in openness of creativity test between boys and girls. Sixth, the students who have participated in GEIK programs more than one year acquired significantly higher score in fluency of creativity test than the students who have participated in GEIK programs less than one year. Girls showed higher score in fluency of creativity test than boys did. Seventh, the students who acquired higher score in GALT showed higher score in both openness and fluency of creativity test. Followings are the conclusions deduced form the above results. First, the developmental level of reasoning skills of the fourth grade students participationg in GEIK programs is the same as that of 7th grade of normal Korean students and the same as those of 10th grade of U.S.A. and Philipoine students. Second, the GEIK programs are effective in improving reasoning skills. Third, the GEIK programs are effective in improving creativity. Fouth, reasoning skills and creativity can be improved by well planned programs. In conclusion, this study suggests that beyond reasoning skills and creativity, other areas such as areas in science skills, mathmatical skills, or verbal skills, etc., should be studied in the future.

  • 본 연구는 만성뇌졸중 환자의 균형과 보행에 대한 12주간의 시각 되먹임 균형 훈련의 효과를 비교하기 위하여 시행되었다. 연구대상자는 총 20명으로 실험군과 대조군에 10명씩 무작위로 할당되었다. 실험군은 근력, 자세조절 그리고 기능적 훈련을 포함한 보존적 물리치료와 시각 되먹임을 이용한 균형훈련을 각각 15분씩 시행하였으며, 대조군은 30분안 보존적 물리치료를 시행하였다. 균형 및 보행 능력에 대한 측정은 기능적 도달 검사(Function Reach Test, FRT), 일어서서 걷기 검사(Timed Up and Go Test, TUGT), 6분 걷기 검사(6 Min Walk Test, 6MWT) 사용하여 시행되었다. 집단 내 비교에서 실험군은 모든 변수에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 향상되는 것으로 나타났으나(p<.05), 대조군은 모든 변수에서 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>.05). 집단 간 비교에서 있어서는 FRT와 6MWT에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 향상되는 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 본 연구의 결과는 시각 되먹임을 사용한 균형 훈련이 만성 뇌졸중 환자의 균형과 보행 향상을 위해 긍정적으로 사용될 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구의 결과를 일반화하기 위해서는 보다 많은 대상자들을 포함시킨 장기간의 연구가 계속 이루어져할 것이다.
