The purpose of this study was to identify the difference of creativity according to the type of brain dominance for deveoping pre-service early childhood teachers's creativity teacher education program. The subjects of this study were 210 pre-service early childhood teachers. The tests were conducted by using the Herrmann' BDI and TTCT: verbal. The study have applied Pearson product-moment correlation to find out relation between the type of brain dominance and creativity, and used multi-variate analysis to find out the difference of creativity according to the type of brain dominance. The results of the study are as follow; first, the upper left brain, lower left limb, and right brains had no relation to fluency, flexibility, originality and overall linguistic creativity. The lower right limb showed a positive correlation with fluency, flexibility, originality, and overall linguistic creativity. Second, the lower left, upper right lower, and lower right limb dominant teachers showed higher fluency, flexibility, originality and overall linguistic creativity than upper left neural dominant teachers. The result of analyzing the language creativity according to the type of brain dominance of the pre-service early childhood teachers will be used as a suggestion to develop the brain-based creativity teacher education program.

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.
