국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 과학영재교육원에 선발된 과학영재아동 297명을 대상으로 이들의 창의성과 동기와의 관련성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 본 연구대상 과학영재아동은 창의적 특성과 학습동기가 높고 도전적인 상황에서 회피하기보다 적극적으로 대처하는 경향을 보였지만 외부적 동기인 경쟁동기도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 과학영재 여학생의 창의성 점수가 남학생보다 높았으며, 반면 남학생이 여학생보다 경쟁동기가 더 높았다. 세째, 과학영재아동의 창의적 동기는 학습동기와는 정적상관을, 회피동기와는 부적인 상관을, 그리고 경쟁동기와는 상관을 보이지 않았다. 따라서 영재아 지도에 있어서 경쟁이나 비교보다 자발적인 동기와 흥미를 갖는 과제를 학습하도록 하여야 함을 시사한다.
