The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of developing and applying a program in the field of astronomy that can improve the spatial perception ability and task commitment of elementary science gifted students. The subjects of this study were 22 students in the advanced course in the elementary science gifted class affiliated with the Gifted and Talented Center of University B. In order to improve spatial perception ability and task attachment to students in elementary school science gifted class, a total of 12 educational learning programs were developed and applied. The results of this study were interpreted as quantitative analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, the astronomy class had a positive effect on the spatial perception ability improvement of elementary science gifted students. Second, the astronomy class had a positive effect on improving the task commitment of elementary school science gifted students. Third, astronomy class of elementary school science gifted students was more effective in improving spatial perception than improving task commitment. Since elementary school science gifted students are selected with excellent intelligence, creativity, and task commitment, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed and applied to better express their potential giftedness. In addition, in order to express more in-depth giftedness in gifted education, it is necessary to pay attention to the development of programs that can express individual gifted characteristics.

The purpose of this RSP program is to enhance the invention gifted students' creative thinking and self-efficacy in studying. This program has 20 subcategories and interesting activities attracting students' attentions which are based on TRIZ's 40 principles of invention. 3-Steps to learning, which are - experiencing, recognizing, and inventing are arranged as teaching methods of RSP program. In the first step, experiencing, students are motivated and get a glimpse of the principles of invention while experiencing innovative products. In the next step, recognizing, students grasp the related scientific principles from the products. In the last step, inventing, students are given keys to solutions for problematic situations and then they create new ideas after repetitive encounters with several products made by similar principles. RSP program is different from other programs in that it has this 'inventing' step, where students can create new ideas based on related basic knowledge. In conclusion, RSP program is systematically well organized with 4 steps(purpose, contents, teaching method and evaluation) and is shown to enhance invention gifted students' creativity and self efficacy in studying. Therefore, the RSP program is shown to be a reliable and useful program, and may be used in the classes for positive results.
