국가 영재교육 프로그램 기준의 과학과 교육과정에의 적용 가능성 탐색

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the applicability of the "National Gifted Education Program Standards - Science for Elementary and Middle Schools" to the regular science curriculum. For this purpose, this study analyzed the content system of the science gifted programs of the National Gifted Education Program Standards based on the science curriculum being operated in regular elementary schools. The main research findings are as follows: First, among the key competency elements emphasized in the Standards, scientific thinking ability was the most frequently emphasized. Second, in the case of scientific concepts and integrated concepts, while they were based on the core concepts within each disciplinary area, they were flexibly operated through adaptation into integrated concepts or convergent competencies. Third, regarding the connection and utilization of scientific concepts within subjects, the areas of heat and energy, force and motion remained high, while the areas of homeostasis and body regulation in the life science field were rarely utilized. Fourth, intensive programs accounted for a slightly higher proportion than accelerated programs. Fifth, STEAM education was made possible through connections with subjects outside the curriculum.
