Abstract

This paper reports on common characteristics found in the lives of important scientists. Those characteristics can be used in developing criteria for finding scientifically gifted children. The lives of several scientists were analyzed, and they were found to have had much interest in natural phenomena, rules, and pattern finding, to have been highly motivated in the study of mathematics, to have played with scientific instruments, and to have had high achievement scores. They were generally thoughtful and had helpful advisors and colleagues.

과학영재에 대한 평가 및 선발 준거를 개발하기 위해서 의미있는 업적을 남긴 주요한 과학자들에 대한 생애를 분석하고, 공통적인 속성들을 추출하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 분석은 각 과학자들의 성장기에 나타나는 특성 및 발현 과정, 직업 선택에 기여한 요인, 영재적 특성이 과학연구 활동에 기여한 과정 등을 대상으로 하였다. 그 결과, 이러한 과학자들은 자연현상이나 사물, 신기한 사건 등에 대한 지적 호기심이 높고, 퍼즐풀이, 패턴 찾기 등에 대한 관심과 높은 수학적 학습 동기 등을 가지며, 공작이나 과학기구 사용 등에도 높은 취미를 가지며, 이러한 특성이 높은 학업 성취도로 나타남을 알았다. 또한 이들은 대체로 말이 적고 사색적인 성격이지만, 경쟁심이 높았으며, 가계의 영향은 긍정적인 경향과 부정적인 경향이 모두 있었고, 과학자로 성장하는 과정에서 재능을 일깨워 준 후견인들과 동료들이 중요한 기여를 했다는 것도 알 수 있다.
