Abstract

In the current information-based society, information and communication technology(ICT) is very important for an individual, a society, and a nation. Especially, for a nation, ICT-related industries are forming an important part of a nation's economy. Also, unlike other industries, ICT-related industries do not require various infrastructures, and have an advantage of being developed with a few talented persons in a short period of time. In this sense, identification and education of gifted children in IT become an essential task of a nation's future. In the past, selection of the gifted children was based on paper tests. However, paper tests incurred various side effects such as private education. Since 2013, observation-recommendation system instead of paper tests has been fully adopted. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the validity of observation-recommendation admission system of the gifted children in IT. For this research purpose, the gifted children in gifted science education center attached in a university at Seoul become the focus of the samples. Their entrance score ranking and graduation record raking are compared for analysis of validity of admission system. After statistical analysis, there is a meaningful correlation between entrance score ranking and graduation record ranking for the gifted children in IT. It means that the higher entrance score ranking, the higher graduation record ranking. The analysis results are expected to be valuable baseline data for deciding usefulness of observation-recommendation admission system.

현대 지식정보사회에서 정보통신기술은 개인, 사회 및 국가적 차원에서 매우 중요하다. 특히 국가적 차원에서 있어서 정보통신기술관련산업은 매우 중요한 비중을 차지하고 있으며, 다른 산업과는 달리 다양한 기반시설을 필요로 하지 않으며 소수의 인재들에 의하여 단기간에 부흥할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 관점에서 정보영재 발굴과 교육은 국가의 미래에 있어서 매우 중요한 과제가 되어가고 있다. 과거의 영재교육의 선발은 주로 지필고사를 통해 실시되었으나, 사교육 등 다양한 폐해로 인해 2013년 이후로 관찰추천제 방식이 전면적으로 실시되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 정보영재아동의 관찰추천제 입학제도의 타당성을 분석하는 것이다. 이러한 연구목적을 위해 서울시의 한 대학부설 과학영재교육원에 재학한 정보영재아동들을 대상으로 입학성적과 수료성적의 상관관계 분석을 통해서 관찰추천제의 타당성을 분석하였다. 통계처리결과 정보영재아동은 입학성적과 수료성적의 상관관계를 보였다. 즉 정보영재아동의 경우 입학성적이 좋으면 수료성적이 좋음을 보였다. 본 연구결과는 향후 영재교육에 있어서 관찰추천제의 유용성을 판단하는 데 귀중한 자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.
