Abstract

There are 27 science education institutes for gifted education institutes in the university with support from the MSIT (Ministry of Science and ICT). Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, and information classes are given in each science education institute for the gifted. The authors developed a curriculum with components of computing thinking for information-gifted students. To determine if the curriculum is effective on the computer scientific attitude of the information gifted, TOSRA was modified and the test was then developed. Information students were educated at K university's science education institute for the gifted with the developed curriculum for one year and the computer scientific attitude of them was tested. According to the test results, there was a significant difference in the computer scientific attitude of the curriculum conducted at the institute at 0.05 level of significance. Statistically significant differences were observed in the social implications of computer science, attitudes of computer scientific inquiry, and the normality of computer technicians at the level of significance of 0.05. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in the adoption of computer scientific attitudes, the enjoyment of computer science lessons, leisure interest in computer science, and career interest in computer science.

대학교부설 과학영재교육원은 전국에 27개가 과학기술정보통신부의 지원으로 운영되고 있으며 각 과학영재교육원에는 수학, 물리, 화학, 생물, 지구과학, 정보반이 개설되고 있다. 과학영재의 특징으로는 지적요인뿐만 아니라 정의 및 동기요인이 영재성을 규명하는데 중요한 준거가 된다. 정보영재 학생들을 위한 컴퓨팅 사고력의 구성요소를 가지는 교육과정을 개발하였다. 그 교육과정이 정보영재의 정의적 영역인 컴퓨터 과학적 태도에 효과가 있는지를 분석하기 위하여 TOSRA를 수정하여 검사지를 개발하였다. 개발된 교육과정을 K 대학교부설 과학영재교육원의 중학교 1-2 학년생으로 구성된 정보반 학생들을 대상으로 1년간 수업을 진행하면서 정보영재 학생들의 컴퓨터 과학적 태도검사를 실시하여 t-검정으로 비교 분석하였다. 검사결과에 의하면 과학영재교육원에서 진행한 교육과정의 컴퓨터 과학적 태도는 유의도 수준 0.05에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 컴퓨터과학의 사회적 시사영역, 컴퓨터과학 탐구에 대한 태도영역, 컴퓨터 기술자의 평범함영역은 유의도 수준 0.05에서 유의한 차이가 있었으나 컴퓨터 과학적 태도의 수용영역, 컴퓨터과학 수업의 즐거움영역, 컴퓨터과학 관련 취미에 대한 관심영역, 컴퓨터과학 관련 직업에 대한 관심영역은 유의도 수준 0.05에서 유의한 차이가 없었다.
