The purposes of this study is to compare the beliefs in the nature of science, science teaching and learning of the elementary teachers in charge of the gifted and the general teachers. For this study, a survey on beliefs of the nature of science, science teaching and learning was conducted to 88 elementary teachers for the gifted and 90 elementary general teachers. Data was analyzed by their academic career and major. The results of this study were as follows: There were no significant differences in beliefs in the nature of science and science teaching between the elementary science teachers in charge of the gifted and the general elementary teachers, but the former has a more constructivism in science learning than the latter. In the some sub-domains of the beliefs of the nature of science, science teaching and learning, there were statistically significant differences according to their academic career and major. Implications from findings of this study were suggested, such as recruiting and in-service training system for teachers in charge of the gifted.

The purpose of this study was to examine the flow of teacher-student verbal interactions and the types of discourse in the science gifted classes of three effective teachers. The three effective teacher were recommended by the expert of a gifted education or science education expert. A participant observation was carried out in their classes, and all the classes were videotaped. The collected videotape materials were transcribed, and Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories and an AF program were utilized to analyze the video clips. The findings of this study were as follows: First, there was no specific flow of verbal interactions in the classes provided by the effective gifted teachers, but the kind of positive verbal interaction that the students responded diversely to their questions or lectures took place. Second, the most prevalent type of utterance in the classes of them was lecturing, and the remark of direction and criticism scarcely took place. And lots of non-directive remarks were found such as emotional acceptance, praise, encouragement or acceptance of ideas. As a result, the effective science gifted teachers made more nondirective remarks such as emotional acceptance, praise, encouragement and acceptance of ideas than directive remarks such as direction or criticism, and their non-directive remark made it possible to elicit more extensive responses from their students.

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.

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.

This study attempted to examine the significance of experience in the gifted class management. The participants of the this study were teachers of the science gifted classe in elementary school located in Seoul. The study was conducted in interviews with four teachers of the science gifted class that individually used their own gifted programs. The interviews were analyzed by applying a phenomenological method of analysis derived from Giorgi. Data collection focused on the feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and changes in life of the teachers of the gifted in order to analyze the experience of the research participants. As a result, 123 significant statements were deduced; based on these significant statements, 26 themes and 12 focal meanings were examined closely. Then, the focal meanings were combined to propose situated structural descriptions of the significance of experiences from the perspective of participants. At the same time, by integrating the situated structural descriptions of the individual participants, the experiences of the teachers of the science gifted class were organized as a general structural description. This study examined in depth the experiences of the teachers of the gifted who are the subjects of the gifted class management through a phenomenological method, and also attempted to examine what these teachers wanted on site and what their experiences with the gifted education meant to them. The implications in understanding the problems of the science gifted education in individual elementary schools and in improving the gifted class management were suggested.

본 발표자가 재직하고 있는 시흥시 장곡 초등학교는 2001-2002년 교육부로부터 2년동안 영재교육연구학교로 지정 받아 $\ulcorner$잠재능력 발현 기회 확대를 통한 영재아 육성$\lrcorner$이라는 주제를 가지고 영재교육을 운영하고 프로그램을 적용하고 있으며, 본 교사는 그 프로그램 가운데 5학년 과학 심화반을 운영하고 있다. 영재아 선발, 영재반 편성, 프로그램 적용 등이 학교교육과적운영의 큰 축과 맞물려 돌아가고 있기 때문에 영재반 프로그램 소개 이전에 배경이 되었던 연구학교 제반 여건과 영재아 선발 방법 등을 먼저 소개할 필요가 있다고 보아 다음 순서로 소개 하고자 한다.
