초록
본 연구는 초등 영재 학생의 리더십 기술 특성을 알아보고 리더십 교육 프로그램 구안 적용을 통해 그 효과를 확인하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 수학, 과학 초등영재 4학년 113명, 5학년 183명, 6학년 192명을 대상으로 학년별, 영역별, 성별로 나타나는 초등 영재 학생들의 리더십 기술 특성을 분석하였다. 연구자에 의해 재구성되고 새롭게 구안된 리더십교육 프로그램을 4, 5, 6학년 실험집단 112명에게 적용하였으나, 통제집단 108명은 아무런 조치를 취하지 않았다. 리더십 프로그램의 효과 검증을 위해 리더십 프로그램을 재구성하여 적용한 후 사전, 사후 검사를 실시한 결과, 리더십 기술 하위요인 점수는 학년별, 성별에서 통계적으로 유의하였고 리더십 교육 프로그램을 통해 리더십 하위영역에서 리더십 기술 점수 향상에 효과가 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 리더십 교육 프로그램이 초등영재 교육과정에 통합되어 운영되어야 한다는 시사점을 안겨준다.
The purpose of this study was to provide and analyze the fundamental data on leadership skills and to analyze leadership skills among giftd elementary students according to grade, subject and gender. The main research questions in order to achieve the purpose of research are as follow. First, are there any differences of gifted elementary students' leadership skills in gifted groups? Second, do leadership program have an effect on improvement of gifted elementary students' leadership skills? The subjects for this study were 488 gifted elementary in 4th-6th grade in Busan.

After that, they had pre-tests and post-tests. the devices used to verify the effectiveness of the program were leadership skill scales. For this research analysis, MANOVA was used to investigate the first research questions and MANCOVA was used to investigate the second research question. Results from this study are as follows. Firstly, students in higher grades received fewer leadership skills points. This fact suggests that the leadership programs from the fourth grade should be implemented in 5th and 6th grade gifted education as well. Secondly, in the analysis of the results from gifted mathematics and gifted science, little significant statistical difference was shown. Thirdly, the analysis of leadership skills according to gender showed statistical significance. Finally, the study showed that the leadership education program had a positive effect. So the gifted 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students improve their leadership skills points by the end of the 16 week programs. Consequently, it is suggested that leadership education program on gifted elementary education was significant to improvement of leadership skills.
