Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate patterns of IT usage in gifted elementary students. There were 67 Computer Science gifted students and 38 Math/Science gifted students, a total of 105 students, who attended a Convergence Computer Science Camp for 3 days. They were given 20 questions on IT usage. The results showed that these gifted students started to use the computer from ages 7 to 9 (51.9%) and consider their level of usage as average (50.0%). They also expressed a desire to learn more to enhance learning. There were some differences between the Computer Science gifted students and Math/Science gifted students. The Computer Science gifted students spent more time at the computer, considered themselves as more capable in using the computer, and thought that the computer aided in learning more, Another difference is that Computer Science gifted students utilized the computer more for education and learning purposes(56.9%), whereas Math/Science gifted students used it for recreation purposes (40.5%). Furthermore, regarding areas of further interest, most Computer Science gifted students wanted to learn more about computer programming whereas Math/Science gifted students were more interested in learning presentation methods (26.3%). In conclusion, there was a difference between Computer Science gifted students and Math/Science gifted students in self-confidence, areas of utilization and computer related areas.
