While most previous studies have developed educational programs for science gifted children and have analyzed the differences between science gifted children and ordinary children using quantitative research methods, few have investigated the differences among the science gifted, especially in terms of the scientific thinking process. The present study was conducted to explore the thinking characteristics of the elementary science gifted according to the three scientific thinking process types during the scientific problem solving process. The study resulted in the collected of quantitative and qualitative data through tests and an interview with questions and scientific problems which required the use of one of the three scientific thinking processes. Ten elementary science gifted children served as interviewees. Two types as an opistemological basis for solving the problems are revealed on inductive thinking problems. Three types are on abductive thinking, and Three or Four types are on deductive. The results are expected to have an influence on the teaching and the evaluation of the elementary science gifted.

The purpose of this study was to explore the process of scientific thinking as it is revealed through the cases of constructive play for young children. For this purpose, the researcher observed and interviewed six four-year-olds in the Jaemi Class while recording them with a camcorder during a free choice activity class in the morning from April 23 to June 25, 2012. The observations were analyzed in chronological order according to the changes of theories and structure as presented by the children themselves. The process of scientific thinking in constructive play for young children can be divided into presentation of naive theories, the abandonment of naive theories according to repetitive experiences and the discovery of inconsistency, the representation of alternative theories, and the abandonment of alternative theories according to repetitive experiences and the discovery of contradictions. On the basis of the results, constructive play has proved to serve a valuable educational function by inducing scientific thinking processes in children. On the basis of this finding, the researcher suggests the need to provide appropriate educational support to teachers.

'과학적 사고의 신장'은 과학교육의 중요한 목표 중의 하나임에도 불구하고, 과학교사가 과학적 사고를 어떻게 개념화하는지에 대한 경험적 연구가 부족하다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 4명의 예비 중등 과학교사가 과학적 사고를 어떻게 정의하고, 토론에서 동료 상호작용을 통해 개인적 개념을 어떻게 정교해 가는지를 탐색하였다. 연구 결과로서 첫째, 과학적 사고에 대한 개인적 개념 스펙트럼을 제시하고 둘째, 소집단 및 전체 토론을 통해 가장 논쟁이 활발했던 세 가지 논제에 대하여 개념의 구성과 정교화 과정을 조명하였다. 과학적 사고와 관련된 세 가지 논제는 일상적 대 과학적 사고, 과학지식과 과학적 사고의 관계, 논리적 체계와 증거의 관계를 다룬다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 예비 과학 교사교육에 대한 논의와 향후 연구에 대한 제언을 하였다.

The purpose of science education is scientific literacy, which is extended in its meaning in the $21^{st}$ century. Students must be equipped with the skills necessary to solve problems from the community beyond obtaining the knowledge from curiosity, which is called 'computational thinking'. In this paper, the authors tried to define computational thinking in science education from the view of scientific literacy in the $21^{st}$ century; (1) computational thinking is an explicit skill shown in the two steps of abstracting the problems and automating solutions, (2) computational thinking consists of concrete components and practices which are observable and measurable, (3) computational thinking is a catalyst for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education, and (4) computational thinking is a cognitive process to be learned. More implication about the necessity of including computational thinking and its emphasis in implementing in science teaching and learning for the envisioned scientific literacy is added.

과학적 창의성은 창의적 사고만으로 발현될 수 없으며, 과학지식내용과 과학적 탐구기능이 함께 사용되게 마련이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 과학적 창의성을 위한 사고, 과학지식내용, 과학적 탐구기능의 3 요소로 구성된 인지적 측면에서의 과학적 창의성 모델을 제안하였다. 그리고 모델의 공통요소로 가치, 독창성, 정교성을 포함시켰다. 최근에는 발산적 사고가 곧 창의적 사고라고 보기보다는, 과학적 창의성에 여러 가지 다양한 사고가 필요하다고 강조해왔다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 논의들에 기초하여, 과학적 창의성을 위한 사고로 발산적 사고, 수렴적 사고, 그리고 연관적 사고를 제안하였다. 인지적 측면의 과학적 창의성 모델에 기초하여 구체적인 과학적 창의성 활동 예시를 제시하고, 어떻게 활동자료가 개발될 수 있는지에 대한 제언을 하였다. 앞으로 연구에서는 구체적으로 다양한 과학적 창의성 활동유형을 정의하고, 유형별 학습지도자료를 개발하게 될 것이다.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the creative science problem solving (CSPS) process amongst scientifically-gifted students and average students through the qualitative think-aloud research method, and to compare the differences in their CSP, scientific knowledge, scientific process skills, creative thinking, and finally, the affective domain used in their CSPS. For the purposes of this study, two scientifically-gifted 6th grade students and one average student were selected. The results show that one gifted student with good creative thinking skills exhibited better performance in CSPS than the other gifted student, who had the highest level of scientific knowledge. In the case of the average student, in spite of her high level of factual knowledge, she had difficulty in proceeding in CSPS due to her shallow scientific knowledge along with her low level of understanding of the given problem. This study highlights the importance of considering the factors which influence successful CSPS and which can play an important role in the education of scientifically-gifted children. These factors were identified as scientific knowledge, understanding of the scientific process, creative thinking, the affective domain, and science problem solving skills.

A study was performed for combination active process between the academical theory and practical design process based on creative thinking process in interior desigv. At first, it was investigated the concepts and characteristics of creativity combined with creativite process of thinking, and also scientific and art characteristics on interior design to be educated together with logical and esthetical concepts required for creative thinking process. In reference with above process, it was systematically established stepwise process of interior design with creative thinking system. As a resualt, creativity in interior design could develop a unique design process combined informations about knowledge and experiences with actual acquirements by individual's experiences. So interior design could be approachable and developed with open-mind and consistently scientific methodology. Also creativity power of interior design could be solved by strategic knowledge acquired by practical experiences and problem solving capability in special branches. Like this, all design activities, including interior design, would be accomplished theoretical background and actual design process under the concepts of practical intension and use. So it would be made creative products by means of detail adapation process based on the theoretical atmosphere, therefore it'll be strongly based on the hardnessing of theoretical value and power. Theory for design process referred to environmental concepts, so including interior design, would not be terminated as for theoretical concepts but be responsible for future of well-developed design by accomplishment of various design adaption method for practical purpose and objectives.
