창의적 문제해결력 신장을 위한 시각적 사고전략에 기초한 초등영재프로그램 개발과 적용

Abstract

I believe that we should develop a program leveled at the advancement of gifted students. In this program, we will focus on encouraging our students to improve their level of ability in all aspects of study, such as math, Korean, and science. The hope is that they will learn new creative problem solving skills based on visual thinking that they can use in school and beyond. 15 students, from 2nd and 3rd grade, will be chosen to participate in the program at Gyeong-in National University of Education. The curriculum will consist of 2 programs, for a total of 24 periods. The program comes in both basic and advanced levels, depending on the current abilities of each individual student. The basic program consists of observation training, exercise ideas, and drawing practice. The advance program includes these aspects but, expands upon visual problem solving situations, such as apartment space design, Aesop’s Fables riddles, and item designs problems. In order to verify the effectiveness of this developmental program, pre and post-test are used to gauge individual student progress. At the end of the program, we analyze the effectiveness of its components and make adjustments that we deem necessary. First, we determine the positive aspects that have occurred with the students through the use of our creative problem solving and visual thinking strategy methods. Secondly, we use a more aggressive pre-testing method of creative problem solving for our more advanced student and record the findings for grading purposes. Lower level students also actively participate in the intermediate and beginner lessons and are graded accordingly.
