A Survey on the Satisfaction of Science Gifted Students for Gifted Education Program

This study aims at improving the quality of the program by evaluating the satisfaction level of students in class through surveys and interviews with students attending the G University Science Gifted Education Center. In this research, 94 students who received gifted education from March to December 2021 were surveyed by setting elements and criteria for evaluating satisfaction of gifted programs based on previous studies and revising and supplementing questions. As a result of factor analysis, five factors influencing the gifted program were derived: ‘Teaching contents’, ‘Teaching methods’, ‘Educational effects’, ‘Teacher’, and ‘Perception of the program’. As a result, multiple regression analysis was conducted to understand the relationship, the higher the educational effect and overall satisfaction. As a result of the interview, students were satisfied with the subject that science gifted programs dealt with new fields that they had never encountered in the regular curriculum, had a lot of self-directed opportunities to experiment on their own, and were familiar with class materials in real life. Based on these results, the directions to develop gifted programs in the future were suggested.
