Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore logical thinking abilities and metacognitive characteristics by student's giftedness and grade level. Furthermore, this study sought to present the practical basis for the promotion of students' abilities in self-driven learning as well as cognition. Average-ability students(n=199), economically disadvantage gifted students(n=133), and gifted students(n=111), who were sampled by two-step sampling procedures, responded the logical thinking ability test(Cho et al, 2006) and the questionnaire asking self-perception for 'metacognitive knowledge' and 'metacognitive control' abilities(Cho & Han, 2004). As the results, average-ability students showed less logical thinking abilities(in language, mathematics, and space) than gifted students. The logical thinking abilities had affected by giftedness, grade level and these interaction. And gifted students showed higher metacognitive control abilities in planning, monitoring, priority, and strategies of learning than average-ability students. However, there were no significant differences in metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive control abilities between economically disadvantaged gifted students and gifted students.

본 연구의 목적은 영재성과 학년수준에 따른 논리적 사고력과 상위인지적 특성을 규명함으로써, 학생의 인지능력 신장뿐 아니라 자기-주도적인 학습능력 증진의 중요성을 피력하는 실증적인 기초를 제공하는데 있다. 이에 1, 2차에 걸쳐 표집한 일반 학생(n=199), 소외 영재(n=133) 및 일반 영재(n=111)를 대상으로 논리적 사고력 검사(조석희 외, 2006)를 실시하여 '언어,' '수' 및 '공간' 영역에서 인지능력을 측정하였고, 상위인지 능력에 대해서는 기존의 지적 능력에 대한 신념 검사(조석희, 한석실, 2004)와 학습 전략 검사(조석희, 한석실, 2004)를 수정, 보완하여 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 학생의 영재성과 학년수준에 따라 논리적 사고력 및 상위인지의 하위 변인에 대해 다변량분산분석을 실시하였다(MANOVA). 연구결과, 영재는 일반 학생에 비해, 그리고 일반 영재는 소외 영재에 비해 논리적 사고력 하위 영역에서 모두 높게 나타났으며, 이상의 논리 사고력에서의 차이는 학생의 영재성과 학년수준에 따라 다른 경향성을 나타내었다. 또한 논리적 사고력에서의 차이 외에 영재는 일반 학생에 비해, '상위인지 통제' 능력이 높아 자신의 학습을 계획하고 관리하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 소외 영재와 일반 영재의 상위인지 능력에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다.
