The purpose of this study was to examine the difficulties experienced by teachers in science gifted education. To fulfill the purpose of this study, 80 science teachers that taught gifted students were requested to write an anecdotal report regarding gifted education and presented 215 difficulties. By means of inductive categorical analysis, these difficulties were grouped into several categories. The results were as follows: The difficulties experienced by teachers in science gifted education fell into three categories: 'difficulties relating to environment (23.7%)', 'difficulties relating to students(16.7%)', 'difficulties relating to teachers(59.5%)'. Most serious difficulty was 'insufficient educational program'. and many teachers felt difficulty in developing the educational materials. Additionally, we discussed some features of each categories of difficulties.

Although over - 600 students in Incheon has been participated in the gifted education programs under the colleges and Office of Education Department every year, it is reported that the number of teachers have insufficient teaching abilities in primary, advanced, and after-advanced gifted classes. The Gifted Education Research Institute in Incheon University introduced R&E activities for the improvement of teachers' abilities in science research and student guiding. Professors in science department conducted the R & E activities to select the research thesis. The professors and the guidance teachers decided the directions of the research, and the guidance teachers who learned from the professors taught 3-5 students to practice the research. Five professor-teacher-student research teams in math, physics, chemistry and biology conducted the research after school and during the vacation for 7 months. The results of the research were submitted to the journals of research activities and the result papers were presented to the seminar. On this research, the possibilities and the difficulties of the R&E activities based of the journals of research activities, oral presentation and the research results reports were analyzed with a purpose of improving the professionalism of the science gifted teachers. Although the professors proposed many difficulties or problems about the R&E activities, the teachers reported that the R & E activities he1ped them to improve their research activities and student guiding techniques. The teachers acquired more knowledge on the principles of the science related areas than before. Moreover, they thought it was very meaningful experience in using the science related instruments, guiding the students' research and writing the research reports. The students also gave the positive responses with the increased interests in new science studies and with the experience of learning the way of research.

Most middle school and high school students learns under the same study plans and educational courses. Such an equal level education policies prevent the science-gifted from developing and promoting their ability. So it is severely necessary to sort out the gifted in science and make them develop their ability. In this paper, the attitudes of teachers and parents toward the science-gifted student in middle school were investigated as well as the characteristics of the gifted. One hundred science teachers of middle school who recommended the gifted in science and their parents in Seoul area were questionnaired. The follows are the consequences of investigation. 1. Most teachers and parents of the gifted considered that the school should do a special care for the gifted in science. That is, they prefer the enrichment course to the acceleration course for it. 2. The teachers play the role of motivating the study and promotion very well, but do not well as either the advisor or the cooperator with the parents because of their excessive work and lack of professional knowledgement about education of the gifted. 3. The parents play the role of the advisor or the counselor well, but do not well as the cooperator with school. 4. Among the characteristics of the gifted, there are not any differences between boys and girls in conduct characteristics. But there are meaningful difference in emotion characteristics. 5. The education of the gifted is very important for developing of country and personal promotion. So the administrative and financial support are necessary in order to sort out the gifted in science earlier and provide various programs.

In this study, we investigated the difference in the affective characteristics between science-gifted students and general students through the positive experiences about science (PES) index. We also explored ways to apply the characteristics of gifted classes suggeseted by the teachers of this study, which had a positive effect on science-gifted students, to general science classes. For this study, a PES survey was carried on middle school science-gifted students enrolled in the gifted education center in the central region and general middle school students in the same area who had no experience in gifted education. Based on the survey result, we conducted in-depth interviews with teachers, having teaching experience with both science-gifted and general students. The results revealed that science-gifted students showed a significantly higher PES index than general students in all five areas of PES. The area with the largest difference between the two groups was science-related self-concept and the smallest was science academic emotion. Teachers suggested ways to apply the characteristics of science-gifted classes to general science classes, such as organizing general science classes around inquiry activities, supporting class materials such as MBL or tablets, reconstructing the classes using materials reflecting students' needs, and changing the textbook content and narrative style, to induce students' interest and curiosity. Based on the study results, ways to enhance the PES through science classes for general students were proposed.

This study analyzed and compared the characteristics in plan and practice of elementary school teachers' science-gifted classes and invention-gifted classes based on pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). To do this, we selected eight elementary school teachers with experience in conducting elementary science-gifted classes and/or invention-gifted classes were selected at the gifted education institutes in Seoul and conducted individual in-depth interviews. The analysis of the results reveal that the teachers tended to organize the science-gifted classes with a focus on the exploration of causes and application activities for scientific phenomena, but tended to organize the invention-gifted classes with a focus on producing creative output based on methodology. They were all emphasizing the enhancement of creativity in planning and practicing both science-gifted classes and invention-gifted classes. However, there were also some differences in the elements of creativity required by each class. They tended to select subjects for science-gifted classes based on regular science curriculum, while selecting subjects for invention-gifted classes focused on creative design rather than considering the practical art curriculum related to invention-gifted education. They tended to pursue and practice STEAM education in both science-gifted classes and invention-gifted classes. In a way that conforms to these class goals and points, they were using experiments and practices, providing feedback to students, and conducting evaluations. However, some shortcomings were also revealed in the processes. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

이 연구는 2명의 중등 과학영재 지도 교사의 수업 전문성을 교수지향의 관점에서 알아보고자 한 것이다. 두 교사 모두 6년 이상 중등 과학영재의 생물 수업을 담당하였으며, 영재교육 교사연수를 이수하였다. 참여교사 당 2차시의 수업관찰과 녹화, 2차례의 심층면담을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 모든 수업자료와 면담자료는 전사된 후 분석되었다. 연구결과 교사들의 수업에서 몇 가지 특징이 나타났다. 두 교사 모두 '개방적 탐구' 지향을 나타냈다. 이것은 탐구력과 창의적 문제 해결력을 신장시켜 과학영재가 과학자로 성장할 수 있도록 도와야 한다는 교사의 교육목표와 신념을 반영한 것이다. 그러나 교사의 전문적 지식의 구체적 내용과 강조점의 차이에 따른 신념은 '학문적 엄격성'과 '발견'의 서로 다른 지향으로 나타나기도 하는데, 이것은 수업에서 다루는 교과 내용 수준이나 범위 등에 영향을 주는 것으로 보인다. 교사들의 과학교수지향은 수업 대상 학생과 과학영재 수업 경험의 증가에 따라 변화한 것으로 나타났다. 이 과정에서 교사의 과학영재 교육철학이 교수지향에 중요한 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 교사의 전문성 신장을 위한 지속적인 노력을 바탕으로, 교사는 수업에 대한 자기반성을 통해 과학영재교육의 이론적 지식을 비판적으로 검토한다. 이를 통해 교사의 과학영재 교육철학이 정립되고 내면화될 때, 교사가 의도한 과학교수지향이 수업 실행에서도 일치되게 나타나는 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to find out what kind of difficulties teachers face in the management of the elementary gifted institutions in the rural area of Chungbuk province. In this study, rural area was defined that the area where gifted education is difficult to access due to geographical accessibility or where gifted education service is restricted. The participants of the this study were three elementary gifted teachers who manage elementary gifted education institutions and is teaching science to disadvantaged gifted students. We collected data about the difficulties and support needs for the management of the gifted institutions in the rural area through the questionnaire and the interview. The results of this study are as follows. First, the common difficulty that teachers expressed was the lack of parental attention and awareness of gifted education. Second, the teachers who participated in this study perceived different difficulties according to their area, experience, and environment. Teacher A is the lack of awareness of the managers, teacher B is the difficulty of student selection, teacher C is the most difficult factor in teacher quality management. This difference in perceptions also led to differences in the support improvements required by gifted class teachers in the rural area. Third, the three teachers commonly referred to difficulties to access due to geographical accessibility, and demanded the integrated management of the gifted class in the rural area and the support for the expansion of the class.
