초록

일반아나 학습 부진아를 대상으로 진행된 많은 선행 연구에서 출생월에 따른 학교입학연령이 아동의 학업성취에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀 왔으며, 우리나라 영재아를 대상으로 진행된 본 연구에서도 이러한 양상은 그대로 적용되는 것으로 나타났다. 과학영재교육원 초·중등 영재선발 과정에 응시한, 그리고 영재로 선발된 아동의 구성원이 학교입학연령에 따라 어떠한 양상을 나타내는지 알아본 결과, 2006, 2007학년도 영재선발 응시자 및 합격자 그룹 모두 각 학년에서 나이가 가장 많은 봄 출생아의 수가 월등히 많은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이러한 초등학교입학연령은 초등학교뿐만 아니라 중학교 단계에까지 아동의 학업성취에 영향을 미친다는 점이 밝혀졌다. 이러한 연구 결과들을 바탕으로 학교입학연령에 따른 아동의 학업성취의 차는 이들의 성숙의 차를 의미할 수 있다는 결론을 내리게 되며 또 다른 아동에 비해 일찍 학교를 입학한 상당수의 아동이 학업성취에 있어서 열세하다는 시사점도 얻게 된다. 이 외에도 이러한 요인이 일반아와 부진아뿐만 아니라 영재선발에까지도 중요한 변인으로 작용한다는 결론은 우리가 주의 깊게 고려해 보아야 할 부분일 것이다.

Abstract

The gap in academic achievement owing to entrance age in elementary school has been used as important basic data to formulate policies on school entrance system and other educational policies. Other countries have made further studies to prove the effect on academic achievement of age gap between students in the same grade. This study identified the clear difference in a component ratio in the participants and the successful candidates based on the by entrance age during the entrance examination of the “K” science education center for the gifted. Also, this study analyzed the difference in success in an examination depending on the season of birth between the participants and the successful candidates during the entrance examination. It also compared the birth ratio by season of each group including common students. Some preceding studies with common or backward students show the result that students who entered the school in full age have higher level of academic achievements than students in younger age. But the results of this study proved that gifted students who entered the school in full age did not have a high level of academic achievements. Like these studies, this study show the result that school entrance age works as an important factor of selection of gifted students. 즉 Students who entered the school in full age entered much more the "K" science education center for gifted students than students in young age.
