Possibility of Advanced Science & Technology Learning Program for Science Gifted in Elementary School

Abstract

The talented in science should be given a chance to learn life-related science contents and experiences to solve a problem meeting ahead in everyday life to have a power of creative problem solving, which is required in modern knowledge based society. The science contents in learning should be highly related to modern life, so those are to be related to advanced science and technology. In order to examine the possibility that science contents related to advanced science and technology are used in the education program for the science gifted with elementary school level, we evaluated the on going education program on the advanced science and technology with document-analysis, observing the lesson, and questionnaire. Each activity of the program is matched to one institute. The activity gives students a chance to recognize the research related to the advanced science and technology, to understand the role of the institute, and to do experiments simple but related to the research according to students' level. In order to be used as a program for the gifted, the program should be improved in some aspect; it should stimulate students' deep and creative thought, cover all advanced technology IT(Information Technology), BT(Bio Technology), NT(Nano Technology), ST(Space Technology), ET(Environment Technology), and CT(Culture Technology), and contrive newly teaching and learning strategy. before applying.
