A study on Developing Project Learning program for Educating the verbally gifted

&nbsp;&nbsp;The purpose of this study is to construct and suggest project learning program suitable for the verbally gifted by searching its possibility as a method of learning program which enhances creative problem-solving ability of the verbally gifted.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;To achieve the purpose of this study, the conception of the verbally gifted is established. The verbally gifted are defined as students who acquire language in their early life or are prominent in language domain(or have such possibility) with usually high lingual comprehension, production ability and lingual habits.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Learning program for the verbally gifted is mostly progressed with in-depth study, especially project learning program is shown as one of in-depth study programs which considerably correspond with cognitive and affective characteristics of the verbally gifted.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;To construct actual project learning, I first selected learning themes, that is, content factors which can expect the educational effect of project learning among the educational contents for the verbally gifted. I analysed the former researches such as Choi, Jong-Oh(2004), Park Su-Ja(2004), Lee Sun-Young(2000), Lee Mi-Kyung(2005), Kwon Sun-hee(2006) et al, creative writing texts for the verbally gifted of educational districts in Busan, texts related to the verbally gifted published in KEDI and real teaching contents for the verbally gifted. As a result, four learning themes are selected; &quot;Writing creatively&quot;, &quot;Making ads.&quot;, &quot;Researching authors&quot;, and &quot;Dramatic role play&quot;.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;To present selected themes to the verbally gifted easily, I made them concrete by the name of the following project; &quot;Come here, Poet&quot;, &quot;My own ads&quot; &quot;Searching for the authors&quot;, and &quot;on the spot at that time&quot;. Such project themes make process project learning program through 5 steps; Finding out theme→ Planning project → Implementing project → Creating products → Presentation？exhibition &amp; evaluation. This project learning program means somewhat different from the existing project learning programs. Considering cognitive and affective characteristics of the verbally gifted, it focuses on enhancing their creative problem-solving ability as much as possible.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Now gifted education of Korea is in the midst of transition periods. Besides visibly splendid results. there are many unexpected problems. That&quot;s why deeper research should be conducted in various areas including the verbally gifted.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Finally, I want to raise interest towards the verbally gifted through this study and provide properly educational opportunities for them. I hope this study can be a tuning point which is of help to teachers in charge of gifted education.
