우수아 교육을 위한 예비적인 연구 = A Preliminary study on Education for the Gifted

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the interests of education for the gifted in Korea, I made a fundamental, theoretical enquiry to outline the education for the gifted and the result of research on it in foreign countries. The outstanding findings through this study could be summarized as follows.
① The gifted is meant those children who have the ability in their field and will have the possibility to show it in future.
② Intellectual faculties are the totality of perceptive power at a given stage of time including mental power as a gifted quality, and intellectual and academic achievements obtained through the process of learning, and are taken as something testifying to the life developmental theory and the hierarchy theory in the sense that intellectual faculties at a certain stage serve as potential quality for further development in the next stage and the consequenses of this development as a whole would then serve as potential quality for the next still higher development.
③ The development of intellectual faculties can be accelerated. by cumulative, systematic, scientific learnings and experiences.
④ As a result of analytical examination, it is found that intellectual faculties in a broad sense (including intellect, apitute and academic achivements) are somewhere on a continuum connecting both extremity differing only in their relative location
⑤ In the future, our concern should be focused on finding out operative factors which clay possibly accelerate the intellectual development.
⑥ Research works on the problem of measuring creative power, on the problem of developing creative power and on the relationship between creative power and intellecual faculties and other psychological traits should be more continuously encouraged.
⑦ Since the network of information circulation is almost completely formed by three or fine years of age, the process of transmitting cultural information and other intellectual functions should be given stimulus so as to effect their further development.
⑧ It is the world-wide trend that education designed to develop the ability of each child pupil so as to adapt himself to his personal diflereuce and education aimed at equalization and diversification go side by side. Furthermore the stand equalizing and diversifying education recognizes the merit of "education in accordance with gifted ability" including the education for the gifted.
⑨ The currently prevailing school system which uniformly set for the process of admission, and school year promotion according to age or years of mastery should be reformed, and instead a dynamic promotion system based on ability and achievements including early admission grade-skipping, speed up and non graded schools, advanced placement program should be arranged. at the same time, the curriculum should be diversified and multistratified.
To the modern educational ways for the gifted belong the ways of acceleration ability grouping and enrichment. which are commonly used in the developed countries. Before these ways are to be employed in the education for the gifted here in Korea, to begin with to study and find out it's merits and faults, will be; the experimental school should be founded and its experimental studies be established.
⑩ From the stage of elementary education (including pre-school-age education) up to that of higher education (including graduate school course) a consistent curriculum should be organized and a systematic and continuous guidance should be conducted for the benefit of students. Although a nominal linkage exists between primary school, middle school, high school and university educations, there lacks a smooth conjugation of curriculum among them and a continuation of educational guidance because each level of school intend to complete its compactly organized courses within a fixed period of time. What exists are only discontinuation and overlapping. An overㆍall reexamination should be made of curriculum, school system and entrance examination system currently prevailing in each level of school so that a cumulative and continuous process of learning may be made possible.
⑪ A concrete and well-organized research on the education for the gifted and on experimental school for education for the gifted should be continuously conducted.
