The field of "information" is based on "mathematics" so they have similarity and association in many parts. I collected the characteristics of multiple intelligence in information gifted students and mathematics gifted students through questionnaires.I studied how much correlation they have and possibilities of combining training in " information and mathematics".

This study aims to find out the teacher's role in each procedure necessary for math gifted students' independent study so as to help them grow to become more creative experts. The case study targeted 14 gifted students. The result shows that the necessary steps for math gifted students' independent study are as fellowing; introducing the independent study, selecting a topic, asking a question, literature review, choosing a study method, gathering information, analysing information, developing a product, sharing information, evaluating the study, Teachers should teach students necessary skills with plans and take the roles of advisors and facilitators. Especially, for effective independent study, this should be planned and done in a regular program for gifted students; teachers' and parents' interest and encouragement facilitate the students' study process.

This paper proposed new approach for the information gifted discrimination test usign EPL. We tried to distinguish high level thinking in the information gifted through test of this study. We designed discrimination test by the features of EPL and developed testing item tool like single-sprit and multi-sprite. These items are divided into adding block, changing the block order, modifying value io block, and changing a block. We designed this testing tool that the elementary students can solve items without an experience on learning programming language. We expect the testing tool io proposed this study will help to discriminate the information gifted effectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate patterns of IT usage in gifted elementary students. There were 67 Computer Science gifted students and 38 Math/Science gifted students, a total of 105 students, who attended a Convergence Computer Science Camp for 3 days. They were given 20 questions on IT usage. The results showed that these gifted students started to use the computer from ages 7 to 9 (51.9%) and consider their level of usage as average (50.0%). They also expressed a desire to learn more to enhance learning. There were some differences between the Computer Science gifted students and Math/Science gifted students. The Computer Science gifted students spent more time at the computer, considered themselves as more capable in using the computer, and thought that the computer aided in learning more, Another difference is that Computer Science gifted students utilized the computer more for education and learning purposes(56.9%), whereas Math/Science gifted students used it for recreation purposes (40.5%). Furthermore, regarding areas of further interest, most Computer Science gifted students wanted to learn more about computer programming whereas Math/Science gifted students were more interested in learning presentation methods (26.3%). In conclusion, there was a difference between Computer Science gifted students and Math/Science gifted students in self-confidence, areas of utilization and computer related areas.

This study investigated a case of a gifted Saudi student, X, who was early detected through Mawhiba (The Saudi Institution of Gifted) when he was eight years old. Then, the journey continued until he became a Tamayuz member and received a scholarship in 2022 to pursue his bachelor's at one of the prestige, high-ranking universities in the USA to study Mathematics and Economics. Lack of information about the status of Saudi verbal gifted maked X case a model to explore the roles of Mawhiba's programs in supporting Saudi verbal giftedness in general and particularly in learning the English language, plus seeking the opportunities Mawhiba provided for Saudi verbal gifted to enrich their giftedness in the English language through providing extended social networking and finally stating the sample's perspective about the opportunities and services Mawhiba provided him.

The followings are the results of this study 1. Exploration of ERIC from 1981 to 1997 showed 150 documents related to the scientifically gifted/talented and of those found there were 63 scientifically gifted/talented education program documents which accounts for 42.0%. 2. 42.0% of documents related to the scientifically gifted/talented and 65.1% of education program for the scientifically gifted/talented were in the publication type of journal articles. 3. 60.0% of documents related to the scientifically gifted/talented and 68.3% of education program for the scientifically gifted/talented were in the type of paper of reports. 4. 71.4% of education programs for the gifted/talented was centered around scientifically gifted/talented students in middle or high school. 5. 52.4% of education programs for the scientifically gifted/talented was being carried out as an supplementary enrichment education program such as summer programs or short term projects. Education programs for the scientifically gifted/talented carried out as a regular class accounted for 38.1%. 6. Systems like Mentorship System and Internship System is being well carried out due to good interrelationships between universities and institutions. There were many programs encouraging majors and careers in science related fields. 7. Individualized education, which is effective in teaching the scientifically gifted/talented whose abilities, interests, and attitudes differ, is being well carried out.
