The purpose of this study was to analyze science gifted students' creativity subscales. The Torrance Tests of Creativity Thinking(TTCT) were administered to 385 science gifted students from 2006 to 2010 for this study. The results were as follows: First, fluency correlated highly with originality, and elaboration also highly correlated with abstractness of titles. All of the correlation coefficients of the variables with resistance to premature closure were high. Second, the elaboration scores were higher than other variables, and abstractness of titles scores and resistance to premature closure scores were lower than other variables regardless of regions and gender. There was no significant difference according to regions, but the elaboration scores of female science gifted students were significantly higher than male science gifted students'. The fluency scores were the most influential factor to the creativity index among the creativity subscale scores. Third, after completing the science gifted program, students showed significant difference in fluency scores, abstractness of titles scores, and resistance to premature closure scores; however, they showed no difference in originality scores and elaboration scores.

A creative science writing program was developed, and applied to 2nd grade elementary students. Two 2nd grade elementary school classes in Seoul district were selected for the current study. A Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design was applied. The experimental group adopted the creative science writing program and the control group maintained traditional lectures for 12 classes. TTCT(Torrance Test of Creative Thinking) figural test and a scientific attitude test were conducted on both groups. According to the analysis, TTCT score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<.01). Among several subscales of TTCT, elaboration and resistance to premature closure was especially improved. Also, scientific attitude scale of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<.01). Among subscales of scientific attitude, the creative science writing program was effective on improving students' open-mindedness, critical mindedness, cooperation, voluntariness, and endurance. Gender was not a factor in the improvement of both students' creativity and scientific attitude.

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.

최근 창의성의 영역 보편성 및 영역 특수성에 대한 논의가 계속되어지고 있는 시점에서 컴퓨터 프로그래밍 학습 활동 또한 창의성과 관련하여 다시 연구되어질 필요가 있다. 기존 교육용 프로그래밍 언어학습의 창의성에 대한 측정을 TTCT 도형 검사를 사용한 것에 반해, 본 연구에서는 프로그래밍 활동이 언어적 사고 양식을 더욱 요구하는 창의적 활동이라는 관점으로 바라보고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서 컴퓨터 과학의 핵심 개념을 학습 내용으로 하는 창의적 문제 해결(CPS) 모형 기반의 스크래치 프로그래밍 학습을 개발하였다. 이 학습 프로그램을 4, 5학년 학생 17명을 대상으로 5일간 4차시씩 총 20차시 적용하고, 정규성이 검증된 이 실험집단에 TTCT 언어 검사의 평균 표준점수(100)로 t검정을 실시한 결과 언어 창의성의 세가지 하위 요인(유창성, 융통성, 독창성)과 창의성 지수(세 요인의 평균 표준점수)가 유의미하게 증진되었다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to access a creative home environment for preschool children and to examine its validity and reliability. The subjects were 296 children aged 5 to 6 years(148 males and 148 females) and their parents. The methods for data analysis included item analysis, factor analysis for construct validity, Pearson correlations between the rating scale for creative characteristics of preschoolers(RSCCP) and this scale for concurrent validity, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ for reliability. The 44 items of the scale were found be satisfactory in terms of item response distribution and item discrimination. Four factors were extracted from the factor analysis: the subscales labelled 'respect for the child', 'enriched learning environment', 'stimulation of independence' and 'family pressure'. The concurrent validity of this scale was accessed by computing the correlation measures of RSCCP with this scale. Most coefficients were significant. Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ ranged from.75 to.86 for the 4 subscales and.85 for the total scale.

This study aims to identify the beneficial effects of forest experience on emotional changes in young children who are exposed to smartphones in daily life. This research was conducted on 41 children aged five and six years at a kindergarten in Chungcheongnamdo province. The children participated in a five-month forest experience program, conducted twice a week. Before beginning the study, its purpose and procedure were explained to the children's parents and kindergarten teachers, after which written content was collected. Before and after the five-month experience, questionnaires about smartphone use and emotional conditions were administered through the parents. The participants were divided into two groups, namely average-use and high-use groups, depending on the smartphone addiction proneness score. It was found that negative psychological subscales such as anxiety, impulse, and depression decreased following the five-month forest experience in both groups. Positive psychological attitudes such as sociability and creativity increased significantly after the forest experience. The high-use group showed a wider range of positive changes compared to the average-use group. Accordingly, forest experiences can be used as an effective solution for smartphone addiction problems among young children.

본 연구는 독일 MHBT 영재판별검사를 한국형으로 개발하여 타당화하는 데 목적이있다. 우선 MHBT 모델의 구성요소와 이를 활용한 다단계 영재판별과정 및 활용방법을 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 MHBT는 인지능력검사인 KFT-HB와 중등용 영재판별 도구인 MHBT-S로 나뉘며, MHBT-S는 1) 공간표상능력, 공간지각 및 사고, 물리 및 기술문제해결 능력 2) 창의적 재능, 기본 동기 및 인식욕구, 성취욕구, 사회적 능력을 포함한 정의적 영역, 3) 작업태도 4) 흥미선호도로 구성되어 있다. 한국형 MHBT를 중학교 1, 2학년 영재교육원 학생과 일반학급 학생들에게 적용하여 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증하였다. 그 결과 일부 하위영역에서 내적일관성 합치도가 낮은 것을 제외하면 전체 신뢰도는 매우 양호하였다. 대비집단을 이용한 타당도 검증 결과 인지능력검사와 공간 및 물리 관련 영역과 정의적 영역은 영재집단이 전체 점수와 모든 하위검사에서 유의하게 높았으며, 작업태도와 흥미선호도는 일부 영역에서 영재집단이 유의하게 높았다. KFT-HB와 MHBT-S 모두를 판별변인으로 했을 때 두 집단에 대한 판별률도 매우 높아 MHBT의 한국적 적용가능성은 자은 것으로 전망된다.
