Analysis of the Tendency of Researches on the Education of Gifted-in-science by Searching with ERIC.

Abstract

In this research, we have focused on the tendency of researches on the education of gifted-in science. For this concern, it has been performed to filter, according to the classification standard, the number of research papers from papers on academic magazines during the period from the early 1990 to November 11th 2007. While there were a lot of related papers in the early 1990 when it was the beginning period of time to perform the researches on the education of gifted-in-science, there has been a tendency of decreasing the number of researches. In addition, it is also revealed that the researches were much skewed to the education of gifted-in-science and its educational course work. Under the deep consideration on the environment that the interest on the education of gifted-in-science has been increased and that the education has been performed widely, more various and more in-depth studies should be made such as the educational method which can match the unique characteristic of each gifted-in-science, the research on defined characteristic related with the gifted-in-science¡¯s attitude, and the ideal attitude of teachers toward the gifted-in-science according to the analysis of the interaction between teachers and students.
