In order to explore the influences of coteaching through mentoring upon the teaching professionalism of beginning science-gifted education teachers, this case study deeply investigated the change processes in the aspects of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Two beginning teachers planned, performed and reflected together their science instructions for science-gifted students in secondary school during four 3-hour classes. Since the second instruction, pre-, during-, and post-mentoring were conducted, we collected various data related to teachers' planning processes, videotaped all coteaching science classes, and wrote field notes. We also recorded in-depth interviews with the teachers and the whole process of mentoring. All the data were analyzed by using the constant comparative method. The results of the analyses indicated that coteaching through mentoring positively changed the teachers' PCK. Above all, we found that coteaching and mentoring strategies generated a significant synergy effect through a mutually complementary relationship. The teachers developed deep practical knowledge about the enrichment curriculum, which placed more emphasis on developing cognitive and/or affective characteristics of science-gifted students. The teachers also improved their knowledge about the characteristics of science-gifted students and the instructional strategies appropriate for developing them. Moreover, practical knowledge about assessment domains and methods used in science-gifted education were improved. Knowledge on science content necessary for effective inquiry instruction was also improved.

21세기는 지식 정보사회이며, 이 지식 정보사회에서 가장 중요한 것은 말 그대로 정보이다. 정보를 수집ㆍ가공하여 새로운 정보를 창출해 낼 수 있는 능력이 있어야만 21세기를 능동적으로 대처할 수 있다. 이러한 지식 정보사회에서 정보과학영재에 대해서도 새롭게 인식되고 있으며 그에 따른 연구도 활발히 전개되고 있지만 타 영역의 영재에 비해 정보과학영재의 연구는 아직 초보적인 수준에 머물고 있다. 그 중에서도 특히 초등정보과학영재교육은 실제적으로 자리 잡을 수 있는 여러 가지 여건이 매우 부족한 실정이다. 초등정보과학영재교육의 활성화를 위해서는 교육과정 개발, 적합한 영재의 선발 등 많은 노력이 필요하겠지만, 더불어 초등정보과학영채의 교육의 실제를 담당하고 있는 영재교사에게 필요한 자질과 소양이 무엇인지에 대한 분명한 논의가 필요하고, 이러한 소양과 자질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구도 활발히 전개되어야 할 것이다.

The purposes of this study is to identify the professional knowledge of the three elementary teachers for science-gifted students in teaching method. All teachers have received in-service program in gifted education, and have been recommended by their colleagues. Two teachers have instructed the gifted for more than five years, one teacher have instructed the gifted for one year and the general students for eleven years. For for this study, each teacher's lesson plans were collected, videotapes were recorded during lessons, and in-depth interview for each participant were conducted. All recoded data were transcribed and analyzed. Some unique characteristics of teaching method for the gifted were identified from the class instruction of participants. They had knowledge of teaching model for the gifted, especially Renzulli's three pod enrichment model. And they mainly used the materials developed by KEDI for the gifted. Also they had capability to be able to reconstruct them, but their lesson plans did not be realized well in their class. Some implications from findings of this study were suggested, such as teaching methods to improve the quality in the classes of the gifted in science.

교육은 인간이 지닌 잠재적인 능력을 바람직한 방향으로 발전할 수 있도록 도와주는 과정이다. 따라서 우수한 잠재능력을 가지고 있는 아동을 조기에 발굴하여 그들이 가지고 있는 능력과 자질에 맞는 체계적인 교육을 제공함으로써 그들의 내재된 능력을 발현하도록 하는 것은 개인의 성장과 발달을 도모함을 물론 나아가 국토가 좁고 자원이 부족한 우리나라에서는 국가의 발전에도 직결되는 매우 중요한 교육적 과제이며, 이러한 교육은 우수한 잠재적 능력을 가진 영재에게도 요구된다 할 것이다. 하지만 아직도 영재교육에 대한 인식과 지원이 미미한 실정에 있는 우리나라의 경우 초등정보과학영재교육을 위한 법적 제도적 장치가 확립되어 있지 못하고 초등정보과학영재교육이 실제적으로 자리잡을 수 있는 여러 가지 여건이 매우 부족한 실정이다. 초등정보과학영재교육의 활성화를 위해서는 교육과정 개발, 적합한 영재의 선발 등 많은 노력이 필요하겠지만, 더불어 초등정보과학영재의 교육의 실제를 담당하고 있는 영재교사에게 필요한 자질과 소양이 무엇인지에 대한 분명한 논의가 필요하고, 이러한 소양과 자질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구도 활발히 전개되어야 할 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 이제 그 싹을 피워가기 시작한 초등정보과학영재교육의 활성화를 위해 초등정의과학 영재교사가 갖추어야 할 자질과 역할을 제시해보고자 한다.

As a case study on beginning teachers' teaching professionalism in science-gifted education, we analyzed their teaching professionalism based on pedagogical content knowledge. To do this, we selected 3 elementary and 3 secondary beginning teachers from science-gifted education institutes in the metropolitan area. After their science instructions for science-gifted students were observed, in-depth interviews were conducted. Analyses were conducted with taped videos, researcher's field notes, and transcripts for in-depth interviews. This study revealed that most of the teachers had relatively desirable belief about science-gifted education. However, they tended to have a little deficient practical knowledge about science-gifted students, the curriculum for science-gifted education, science contents, the instructional strategies for science-gifted education, and the assessment in science-gifted education. These results imply that many teachers are likely to have a little deficiency in teaching professionalism for science-gifted students in various aspects, and need to find the ways of improving their teaching professionalism.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the professionalism of elementary teachers in charge of teaching the science-gifted children, based on their personal variables, such as gender, educational career in normal class and gifted class, training in gifted education, academic degree, etc. For this study, the questionnaire was modified by referring to Choi's survey, and conducted to 98 teachers. The results of this study were as follows: In gender, the average of male teachers was significantly higher than the average of female teachers in their professionalism in gifted education. Regional difference was found in the teacher's professionalism, however, showed different aspects in the sub-domain. The teachers' professionalism in accordance with the career in education was no difference. In gifted education career, professionalism increased as high career in gifted education, especially, more than three years. As better educated, teachers' professionalism in responsibility and philosophical understanding for gifted education was increased significantly. The teachers' professionalism according to the degree of training related to gifted education was no significant difference. Overall, 'responsibility and philosophical understanding' and 'humanities-oriented quality' for gifted education were not greatly affected by teacher's personal variables in this study. Based on conclusions, implications for improving their professionalism in gifted education were discussed.

영재교육이 우리나라의 미래를 좌우한다는 생각은 이제 매우 설득력을 얻고 있지만 구체적인 학습자료와 이론이 여전히 부족한 상태이다(1999,김주봉). 수학 캠프의 활동에 관한 교육 프로그램은 더욱더 찾아보기 힘들다. 대구광역시 동부교육청 시범영재학급에서는 03년 1월 9일부터 11일까지 2박3일간 동부 계명대학교 자연과학부 백은관에서 영재캠프를 개최하였다. 이번 캠프는 주제탐구중심의 캠프로서 협동심과 창의력중심으로 전국 최초로 이루어졌고, 4학년 22명, 5학년 21명, 6학년 24명 총 67명과 담당장학사1명, 진행도우미 8명, 운영교수진 8명, 체험학습 강사10명 총94명이 참가하였다. 프로그램은 영재교육의 전문가인 교수와 초 중등 현직교사들에 의하여 운영되었고, 프로그램 계획 수립 및 진행총괄은 담당장학사와 본 연구자가 진행하였다. 학생들의 수준의 차이가 적지 않는 데다가 본 연구자는 4개월 동안 캠프를 준비하여 학생들로부터 캠프에 대한 소감을 통하여 결과가 긍정적인 내용이 많아서 매우 성공적인 캠프가 이루어 졌다고 생각한다. 본 고에서는 캠프일정과 운영. 교육프로그램, 주제탐구물 결과에 대하여 살펴볼 것이다.

This study aimed to explore the problem in curriculum development in school-based gifted program in the arts and suggest the way to solve that. For this study, we surveyed 28 teachers and guest instructors, furthermore interviewed 6 teachers (4 in music and 2 visual arts). The study results indicated that not only curriculum development of school-based program for the gifted in the arts was not systemic, but also most teacher depended excessively on guest instructors due to the lack of expertise and information for curriculum development. Also, They did not understand specific meaning of the giftedness and gifted curriculum in arts nor recognize the unique role of school-based gifted program. In addition, most teachers simply attempted to solve lack of knowledge and experience on a personal level. Their research condition were inadequate to plan curriculum. To solve these problems in curriculum development in school-based gifted program in arts, we suggested some solutions: differentiated teacher in-service program, the achievement criteria for fundamentals of curriculum, system for connecting materials, information and human resources, as well as consultative body for improving the present condition of school-based gifted program.
