Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of online education on gifted students’ systems thinking, science motivation, and scientific self-efficacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The subjects were 68 elementary science gifted students in 2020. The education program focusing on 15 different subjects was conducted for 90 hours. To investigate the effect on systems thinking, science motivation, and scientific self-efficacy, the preandpost-test design was used. The results of this study were as follows. First, it was revealed that online gifted education was systematically conducted using the university’s existing LMS system, while also reducing students’ group activities and interactions between both students-students and students-instructor within the classroom. Second, online gifted education was effective in gifted elementary science students’ systems thinking and science motivation, however, the effect size was relatively small. Third, educational effects on students’ systems thinking were affected by the district of residence and previous educational experience. Therefore, gifted education is required in consideration of changes in population structure and regional disparities to cultivate human resources needed in the future fast-changing society.
