Abstract

Currently gifted education aims for convergent gifted education according to government policy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate correlation of information subject and science subject(physics, chemistry, biology, and geology) for the gifted children in IT. For this purpose, the gifted children in IT who attended a gifted science education center attached to a university at Seoul Metropolitan Area are selected. Their grades during their the period of attendance are collected and analysed. The statistical results show that there is a meaningful correlation between information subject and biology subject for the gifted children in IT. It means that the higher scores information subject is, the higher scores biology subject is. The results can be used to make or change gifted curriculum and education contents for gifted IT education.

현재 영재교육은 정부방침에 따라 융합형태의 교육을 지향하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 정보영재아동에 있어서 정보과목과 과학과목(물리, 화학, 생물, 지학)의 상관관계를 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해 서울시내 한 대학부설 과학영재교육원의 정보영재아동을 대상으로 재학기간의 성적을 바탕으로 분석하였다. 통계분석 결과 정보과목과 생물과목의 상관관계를 보여주었다. 즉 정보과목을 잘하면 생물과목도 잘하는 것으로 분석되었다. 나머지 물리, 화학 및 지구과학과목에 대해서는 상관관계가 없음을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 향후 정보영재교육에 있어서 과학과목의 비중, 교육내용의 구성 등에 중요한 기초자료로 사용될 것이다.
