Abstract

As an empirical test of a model of giftedness with learning disabilities (Song & Porath, 2011), this paper investigated domain thoughts of gifted students without learning disabilities and gifted students with learning disabilities (GLD) in reading, writing, and math. Gifted students in each group were interviewed and the data were analyzed for domain thoughts. The results showed that the former group of gifted students exhibited domain thoughts in a more balanced manner, whereas GLD students showed large discrepancies between domain thoughts; they showed weak specific domain thoughts in contrast to strong other domain thoughts. They also showed ambivalent attitudes even in a domain activity; they presented positive and negative thoughts at the same time. With a comprehensive explanation of the differences between the two groups of gifted students through a cognitive mechanism presented in the model of GLD model, this paper provides new approaches for identification and education of gifted students and GLD students.

이 논문은 학습장애영재 모델(Song & Porath, 2011)의 실증적 검증 차원으로, 읽기, 쓰기, 수학에서 학습장애가 없는 영재와 학습장애영재가 보이는 영역적 사고를 조사하였다. 두 그룹의 영재들로부터 인터뷰 자료를 수집하였고 분야적 사고 측면에서 분석하였다. 그 결과 영재는 읽기, 쓰기, 수학에서 비교적 균형 잡힌 영역적 사고를 나타낸 반면 학습장애영재는 특정 분야에서 약한 영역적 사고를 보였다. 뿐만 아니라 오직 학습장애영재만이 읽기, 쓰기, 수학의 각각의 분야 내에서 서로 상반된 태도를 보였는데 그들은 같은 분야 내에서 긍정과 부정의 감정을 동시에 드러냈다. 이 논문은 학습장애영재 모델에서 제시하고 있는 인지 메커니즘을 통해 두 영재집단의 차이점들을 설명하고 영재 선발과 교육에 대한 새로운 접근 방법을 제안하고 있다.
