제3차 과학영재발굴육성종합계획 성과분석: 정책집행 행위자 인식을 중심으로

Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the outcomes of "The Third Plan for Identifying and Nurturing Science-Gifted Students" and propose future directions for science-gifted policies. The third plan consisted of six strategies and sixteen tasks. Using a logic model, the criteria for performance analysis were established—including task appropriateness, fidelity to the plan content, task effectiveness, satisfaction with results, and goal achievement. A policy perception survey was conducted among policy actors in the field, including heads of science-gifted high schools, directors of gifted education centers, and chairpersons of international science Olympiads. The analysis revealed that while task appropriateness and fidelity to the plan were generally high, task effectiveness, satisfaction with results, and goal achievement tended to be low. It was found that policy actors perceived the previous plan, although valid as a science-gifted policy, to not have been faithfully implemented due to various factors. As a result, the policy's effectiveness fell short of expectations, and the original goals were not fully achieved. For the establishment of a long-term policy, clear goals should be presented and faithfully implemented. However, the policy may face challenges without a stable budget and support from policymakers in the field. This study provides essential data for establishing achievable goals for future science-gifted policies and identifying detailed tasks to effectively realize the originally anticipated goals.
