The Case of a Leadership Course Based on the Multidimensional Curriculum Model: Gifted Elementary Students’ Perceptions

ABSTRACT This qualitative case study investigated gifted elementary students’ (N = 24) perceptions of studying a one-semester leadership course based on the Multidimensional Curriculum Model (MdCM). Data were a semistructured interview at the end of the unit, four short written reflections, and analysis of the “future scenario” product. Findings indicate that students had gained declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge. They also expressed awareness of personal leadership traits and skills related to gains and difficulties regarding future thinking via future scenario writing, and commented on the learning climate and physical environment in the leadership course. Implications for applying MdCM in courses and programs for gifted students are discussed.

초등수학영재를 위한 스핑크스 퍼즐 프로그램 개발과 적용사례

스핑크스 퍼즐은 기존 칠교판에 비하여 수학적 도형을 다양하게 만들 수 있다는 점에서 영재교육 의 소재로 활용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 스핑크스 퍼즐의 모든 조각을 사용하여 만들 수 있는 볼록다각형의 개수를 프로그램 탐구 과제로 삼는다. 이는 이전 연구에서 여러 차례 탐구 주제로 다루어져 왔으나, 현재 그 명확한 이유를 설명하지 못하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 초등영재 수준에 서 증명이 가능한 최소넓이를 이용한 방법과 단위넓이를 이용한 방법을 새롭게 제안한다. 그리고 초등수학영재가 새로운 증명 방법으로 탐구 주제를 실제 정당화할 수 있는지 확인한다. 따라서 총 4차시 수업 프로그램을 구성하고 적용하였다. G교육지원청 영재교육원 6학년반 소속 학생 3명을 대상으로 수업 프로그램을 적용한 결과, 스핑크스 퍼즐로 만들 수 있는 볼록다각형이 27개임을 정당화하는 것은 가능함을 보였다.

The Effects of a Science-Focused STEM Intervention on Gifted Elementary Students’ Science Knowledge and Skills

To develop Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) talents, both researchers and policy developers recommend that educators begin early. In this randomized study, we document the efficacy of teacher professional development and a rich problem-based inquiry curriculum to develop the science talent of elementary students. The intervention, STEM Starters, a federally funded Jacob K. Javits project, provided sustained and embedded professional development to classroom teachers and to pull-out gifted program teachers to support the implementation of a problem-based curriculum in their classrooms. During the intervention, randomly assigned teachers participated in 120 hr of professional development that focused on science content, inquiry-based instruction, technological applications, and differentiated instruction within problem-based curriculum units. Statistically significant gains in science process skills, science concepts, and science content knowledge were found among gifted students in the treatment group when compared with gifted students in the comparison group.

Views of Gifted Elementary Students about Self-Directed Learning

Despite the connection between independent learning and gifted students, little is known of the views these students hold about the process of being self-directed learners. This interview study examined views of ten gifted elementary school students in South Australia about Self-Directed Learning. The interview responses showed that these gifted students had detailed knowledge about Self-Directed Learning, emphasised the importance of motivation, and described differences in Self-Directed Learning at home and at school in terms of choice of activities. The results of the study suggest that gifted elementary students have explicit awareness of their knowledge of Self-Directed Learning, which is associated with their positive motivation for Self-Directed Learning. The results also suggest that development of knowledge and skills of Self-Directed Learning, together with choice of school-based independent learning inquiries, could provide these students with the motivation and challenge they need to plan and implement investigations while evaluating their own progress.

Beyond the Game: Quest Atlantis as an Online Learning Experience for Gifted Elementary Students

Quest Atlantis (QA) is a learning and teaching project that uses a 3D virtual environment to immerse children, ages 8-15, in educational tasks. It allows users to travel to virtual places to perform educational activities known as Quests. The core elements of QA are: 1) a 3D multi-user virtual environment (MUVE), 2) inquiry learning Quests and unit plans, 3) a storyline involving a mythical Council and a set of social commitments, and 4) a globally-distributed community of participants (Barab, Arici, & Jackson, 2005). These inherently engaging environments are natural motivators for this age-level student, who can be considered members of the Club Penguin generation. To determine the perspectives of the users, themselves, a survey was conducted with a group of 35 gifted elementary students. The results, gathered through both closed and open-ended questions, identified the strengths and limitations of this media as a viable pedagogy for teaching more traditional content area subjects. Teacher observations of student behavior both in the real life classroom and in the online environment present additional insights how digital natives engage in and interact with this media. Implications for using virtual worlds such as Quest Atlantis for distance learning of upper elementary students are proposed.
