Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore why gifted students drop out of school by examining two gifted students who chose to drop out their schools. The result of triangulation interviews, observations, and analysis of the available documents revealed the following: first, in regular classrooms they were bored due to the long periods of time they had to wait and they were even unsatisfied at the gifted education programs in which they had high expectations for either; second, they did not have any friends to share the same interests; third, they had a hard time due to their emotional sensitivity and a sense of a justice that most other students overlooked; fourth, they had tough experiences with teachers who did not understood their educational and social needs; and finally, they had parents who did their best and tried to support their extraordinary child. From examining the reasons of the gifted students for deciding to leave the school, it should be noted that more interest and care needs to be given to those students.

본 연구에서는 학교중퇴를 선택했던 영재학생들 두 명을 대상으로 학교를 그만두기까지의 학교생활과 중퇴를 선택하게 된 요인을 알아보았다. 면담, 관찰, 문서 및 어린 시절 비디오 분석의 삼각측량 사례연구 결과, 첫째, 일반 학생들에 맞추어진 학교 학업에서는 많은 시간 기다려야 했고 지루했으며 특별히 기대했었던 과학영재교육원에서도 만족하지 못하였었다; 둘째, 다른 학생들과 관심을 갖는 부분이 달라서 흥미를 교류할 수 있는 친구가 없었다; 셋째, 일반학생들이 간과하는 문제들을 예민하게 받아들이고 남다른 정서적 민감성과 정의감으로 인하여 힘든 경험들이 있었다; 넷째, 이해해주지 않았던 학교 교사들과 부딪히면서 어려움을 겪은 경험이 있었다; 다섯째, 평범하지 않은 자녀를 위해 최대한 지원해주려고 노력하는 부모가 있다는 공통점을 찾을 수 있었다. 지적 정의적으로 도움이 필요한 영재학생들이 학교를 떠나게 됨으로써 학교환경과 영재교육원 교육이 다시 한 번 돌아볼 기회가 되었으며 특별한 관심과 배려가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
