Proposing a Pre-service Teacher Training Program for the Gifted Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Since 1998, an elementary teacher education institute in Korea has hosted the center for the gifted education.
The institute hired undergraduate students to escort and liaison each class of the gifted student participants with assisting
classroom activities. These liaison teachers observed the gifted classroom activities and evaluated them by using a given
checklist and filling out pre-made evaluation forms. Currently this system is being transferred from part-time jobs for
students to earn allowance into well organized pre-service teacher program focusing on the gifted education. In other
words, the purpose of system is being shifted from how liaison teachers facilitate the gifted program to how the system
helps the liaison teachers to be quality teachers for the gifted who can understand what the gifted are and how to
facilitate them. Analyzed were the self reports of the liaison teachers regarding their perceptions and beliefs of the gifted
and their education program. It was found participant liaison teachers purposed to have more live experiences with getting
along with students as well. Liaison teachers’ perceptions on establishing a gifted teacher professional education sequence
were reported in this study. The potential scaffolding of the pre-service teacher education program model of the gifted
education was provided as a consequence of this study.
