Informatics gifted education institutions have made multi-faceted efforts to encourage students to do creative activities which can be extended lasting. However, research about gifted student's creative activities is yet incomplete, and most of the research has only focused on their cognitive abilities. Therefore, there is a limit to providing creative activity curricula that reflect the characteristics of informatics gifted students. This study assessed the creative products achievement of 56 informatics gifted elementary school students' and comprehensively analyzed the results with affective and environmental variables. The result is that the achievement of creative products was higher when the intrinsic motivation was found to be higher. Parents' support or extrinsic motivation did not differ significantly.

Existing curricula for the gifted and talented of informatics are inapplicable directly to the current educational fields because its educational objectives are abstract and impractical. In particular, after the gifted and talented of informatics was defined by korean educational development institute in 2005 and other institutes, there is not a clear standard definition. Curriculum for the gifted and talented of informatics also varies and is different in accordance with research institutes. Therefore, we propose the definition of the gifted and talented of informatics and then suggest seven educational goals and a curriculum for the gifted and talented as well as its detailed learning contents. Finally, for proving the validity for those suggestions, this paper is verified by conducting the construct validity with a content validity and a confirmatory factor analysis using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 21.

The purpose of this study is to develop the enrichment curriculum connected to a Revised Version of 7th National Informatics Curriculum in Middle School for gifted students in IT education. This study uses a Delphi Method to develop a curriculum which is comprised of educational objectives, educational contents, teaching-learning method and educational evaluation. This study carried out a three-round delphi survey in 'The problem-solving method and its procedure' field from grade 1 to grade 3. In this study, first, the responses of the experts about educational objectives, educational contents, teaching-learning method and educational evaluation of each grade were analyzed. Second, organized items were designed. Finally, important items were selected by statistics.

본 연구의 목적은 정보영재에 관련한 국내 연구들을 분석하여 앞으로 연구되어야 할 정보영재 연구의 주제와 방향을 도출하는데 있다. 이를 위해 2003년부터 2016년까지의 학술지 수록 논문 총 75편의 연구 주제를 연도 학교급 별로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 교육내용에 관한 연구는 많이 이루어진 데 비해 교육방법에 관한 연구가 상대적으로 부족하고, 중등 정보영재학생의 선발에 관한 연구가 필요함에도 불구하고 전혀 다루어지고 있지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 향후 정보영재 연구는 정보영재를 가르치는 방법과 중등 정보영재 선발에 관심을 가질 필요가 있다.

With the rising interest in intelligence information technology built on artificial intelligence and big data technologies, all countries in the world including advanced countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and so on, have launched national investment programs in preparation for the fourth industrial revolution centered on the software industry. Our country belatedly recognized the importance of software and initiated the 2015 revised educational curriculum for elementary and secondary informatics subjects. This paper thoroughly analyzes the new educational curriculum for information science in high schools and, then, suggests improvements in the areas of information ethics and multimedia. The analysis of the information science curriculum is applied to over twenty science high schools and schools for gifted children, which are expected to play a leading role in scientific research in our country. In the future artificial intelligence era, in which our dependence on information technology will be further increased, information ethics education for talented students who will play the leading role in making and utilizing artificial intelligence systems should be strongly emphasized, and the focus of their education should be different from that of the existing system. Also, it is necessary that multimedia education centered on digital principles and compression techniques for images, sound, videos, etc., which are commonly used in real life, should be included in the 2015 revised educational curriculum. In this way, the goal of the 2015 revised educational curriculum can be achieved, which is to encourage innovation and the efficient resolution of problems in real life and diverse academic fields based on the fundamental concepts, principles and technology of computer science.
