The purpose of this study is to investigate how the mathematical creativity of middle school mathematical gifted students is represented through the process of problem posing activities. For this goal, they were asked to pose real-world problems similar to the tasks which had been solved together in advance. This study demonstrated that just 2 of 15 pupils showed mathematical giftedness as well as mathematical creativity. And selecting mathematically creative and gifted pupils through creative problem-solving test consisting of problem solving tasks should be conducted very carefully to prevent missing excellent candidates. A couple of pupils who have been exerting their efforts in getting private tutoring seemed not overcoming algorithmic fixation and showed negative attitude in finding new problems and divergent approaches or solutions, though they showed excellence in solving typical mathematics problems. Thus, we conclude that it is necessary to incorporate problem posing tasks as well as multiple solution tasks into both screening process of gifted pupils and mathematics gifted classes for effective assessing and fostering mathematical creativity.

The purpose of this study is to examine the mathematical creativity problem-solving ability of middle school students gifted in mathematics. For this research, we examined and analyzed the responses to two multiple solution problems of the gifted students with classifying the four categories; fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration which are the factors of the creativity, and comparing with responses of usual students.

In this study, we compare the multiple intelligence of gifted students with the multiple intelligence of their children recognized by their parents. The subjects of the study are 118 students and their parents at the gifted education center affiliated with A University. First of all, there is a difference between the multiple intelligence of gifted students and the multiple intelligence recognized by their parents. Parents are highly regarded their children in all multiple intelligence components. Second, there are differences in multiple intelligence of gifted students' gender. The difference in multiple intelligence of children recognized by parents depending on the gender of the student was similar to the student's results. Third, there are not much difference in multiple intelligence between elementary and middle school students. However, there is a big difference between students and parents in the elementary school group compared to the middle school students. Therefore, since multi-intelligence can be developed by individual experience and environment throughout one's life, an educational environment that reflects objective evaluation and student needs rather than parental subjective judgment should be created.

이 연구는 중학교 수학 영재학생의 수학적 정당화에 대한 의미 인식과 수학적 정당화의 특성을 파악하여 정당화 교육을 위한 시사점을 얻고자 한 것이다. 이를 위해 17명의 중학교 수학 영재학생을 대상으로 설문지와 검사지를 투입하여 분석한 결과, 영재학생들은 수학적 정당화에 대하여 입증, 체계화, 발견, 지적 도전과 같은 다양한 의미로 정당화를 인식하였고, 연역적 정당화의 선호도가 높았다. 실제 정당화 활동의 결과, 대수와 기하 문항 모두에서 연역적 정당화가 많았지만 대수 문항에서는 경험적 정당화도 많은 반면 기하 문항에서는 매우 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 연역적 정당화를 완성한 경우, 자신의 정당화에 만족함을 보였지만 수학적 문자와 기호를 사용하여 명제의 일반성을 연역적으로 정당화를 하지 못한 경우에는 불만족을 보였다. 연구 결과는 영재학생들이 경험적 추론의 유용성과 한계를 깨닫고 연역적 정당화를 할 수 있도록 하며 특히 대수적 번역 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 정당화 교육이 필요함을 시사한다.

본 연구는 Cabri 3D와 GSP를 이용하여 중심사영에 대한 탐구학습에서 나타나는 중학교 수학영재들의 수학적 사고특성과 교사의 역할을 분석하여 수학영재를 위한 교수 학습 자료의 개발에 시사점을 주는데 목적이 있다. 연구결과 중학교 수학영재들은 중심사영에 의한 도형의 변환을 탐구하고 이를 투시도의 작도를 통해 확인하는 과정에서 다양한 수학적 사고특성을 보였고, 교사는 학생들의 탐구문제해결을 위한 사고의 촉진과 새로운 지식의 형성을 도우면서 수업설계자, 학습촉진자, 기술적 보조자, 상담자의 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

We study on the mathematical disposition of mathematically gifted students in the middle school of Korea. For this purpose, we use a tool which is a psychological test about disposition of mathematics disliking. The tool was developed by Kim et al. (2001: Studies on Exploring Mathematics Disliking Factors and Devising Tools to Analyze Students' Disliking Trends about School Mathematics. J. Korea Soc. Math. Ed. Ser. A Mathematical Education. 40(2), 217-239) to analyze the mathematical disposition of underachievers and we investigate the characteristic of it.

This paper analysed gifted middle students' conception of the definitions of point and line and the uses of definitions in proving. The findings of this paper suggest that the concept of mathematical definitions is very unnatural to students, therefore teachers and textbooks need to explain explicitly the characteristics of mathematical definitions which are different from dictionary definitions using common sense. Also introducing undefined terms in middle school geometry would give students a critical chance to deal with the transition from dictionary definitions to mathematical definitions.

In this study, we have analysed and compared the cognitive, affective, and emotional aspects of the mathematically gifted, the scientifically gifted, and common middle school students in cognitive, affective, and emotional aspects. The mathematically gifted students are proved to have better continuous/simultaneous information processing, more positive mathematical disposition, more preference to difficult tasks, and higher EQ than the common students do. On another hand, no difference is found between the mathematically gifted and the scientifically gifted students in creative problem solving ability however, the mathematically gifted have more self-confidence, more curiosity for mathematics, stronger will, and more disposition to monitor and reflect, and more efficient self-control than the scientifically gifted do. In short, the mathematically gifted are superior to common students in mostly all aspects, and better than the scientifically gifted in the affective part.

According to Krutetskii, the education of mathematically gifted students must be focused on the improvement of creative mathematical ability and the mathematically gifted students need to experience the research process like mathematician. Independent study is highly encouraged as the self-directed activity of highest level in the learning process which is similar to research process used by experts. We conducted independent study as a viable differentiation technique for gifted middle school students in the 3rd grade, which participated in mentorship program for 10 months. Based on the data through the research process, interview with a study participant and his parents, and his blog, we analyzed mathematical behavior characteristics of a study participant. This behavior characteristics are not found in all mathematically gifted students. But through this case study, we understand mathematically gifted students better and furthermore obtain the message for the selection and education of the mathematically gifted students and for the effective method of running mentorship program particularly.

The Center for Science Gifted Education (CSGE) of Chongju National University of Education was established in 1998 with the financial support of the Korea. Science & Engineering Foundation (KOSEF). In fact, we had prepared mathematics and science gifted education program beginning in 1997. It was possible due to the commitment of faculty members with an interest in gifted education. Now we have 5 classes in Mathematics, two of which are fundamental, one of which is a strengthened second-grade class gifted elementary school students, and one a fundamental class, and one a strengthened class for gifted middle school students in Chungbuk province. Each class consists of 16 students selected by a rigorous examination and filtering process. Also we have a mentoring system for particularly gifted students in mathematics. We have a number of programs for Super-Saturday, Summer School, Winter School, and Mathematics and Science Gifted Camp. Each program is suitable for 90 or 180 minutes of class time. The types of tasks developed can be divided into experimental, group discussion, open-ended problem solving, and exposition and problem solving tasks. Levels of the tasks developed for talented elementary students in mathematics can be further divided into grade 5 and under, grade 6, and grade 7 and over. Types of the tasks developed can be divided into experimental, group discussion, open-ended problem solving, and exposition and problem solving task. Also levels of the tasks developed for talented elementary students in mathematics can be divided into the level of lower than grade 5, level of grade 6, and level of more than grade 7. Three tasks developed and practiced are reported in this article.
