This paper is aimed at investigating into possibility of education of understanding characters in novels using a parallel curriculum. For this, the stages and methods of the education of understanding characters in novels which fits for each characteristic of students were examined through parallelism of core curriculum and identity curriculum. The current education of understanding characters in schools only hands down the knowledge of understanding and appreciation which are organized in reference books to most students, not leading to a profound understanding of character. Accordingly, this study aims to identify the correlationship between parallel curriculum model and education of understanding characters through focusing questions of PCM; to connect internal factors of the education of understanding characters with contents of core curriculum; and to design the plans for the education of understanding characters by relating external factors of the education of understanding characters to identity curriculum. The internal factors of the education of understanding characters includes objective information of characters, viewing attitude towards characters, and roles of characters in fictional works, and as external factor, there are learners who interpret the works. This study is intended to contribute in helping learners create character-related knowledge and actively appreciate novels through parallelism of core curriculum and identity curriculum where concept discovery for an understanding of characters progresses along with education fit for learners' characteristics at the same time.

초등 정보 영재 교육을 위한 교육과정은 매우 부족하다. 일반적으로 영재교육 과정 개발에 병행교육과정이 많이 적용되고 있다. 따라서 정보영재아들을 위한 병행교육과정 모델을 적용하는 것이 필요하다. 대표적인 사례로 암호화 교육 프로그램에 적용하였다. 병행 교육과정 모델에는 4개의 교육과정이 각각 또는 결합되어 사용될 수 있고 일부만 사용될 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 병행 교육과정 모델의 장점을 최대한 반영하기 위하여 네 교육과정을 차례대로 모두 사용하였다. 본 교육 프로그램을 초등 정보영재학생 19명을 대상으로 4차시 수업에 적용하였다. 수업 중 학습자들의 활동 관찰 및 기록, 학습자들 대상의 설문 조사, 과제물 분석의 방법을 사용하였다. 그 결과, 본 연구에서 개발된 교육 프로그램은 초등 정보영재학생들의 수준에 적절하였으며 과제 집착력, 문제 해결력, 창의성 등의 영재성 향상에 도움이 된 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수업 후 암호화 주제에 관심을 갖게 된 학습자가 많았다.

There is a little curriculum for gifted and talented elementary information. Generally parallel curriculum model(PCM) for gifted children is being applied to many subjects. It is necessary to apply the PCM for gifted elementary children of information science. This model is a prime example of a training program was applied to the encryption. There are four parallel curriculum model. The four curriculum model can be used individually or combined, may be used only partially. In this study, the benefits of parallel curriculum model in order to reflect as much as possible in order all four courses were used. This program for 19 students in the gifted children for information science class were applied to four periods. Observe and record the activities of students in class, the survey targeted learners, assignments, methods of analysis were used. We found that the level of the program was suitable and the aspects of giftedness such as an ability to focus on the task and an ability to solve the problem were enhanced. Moreover, participants became more interested in the topic of encryption following the program.

영재교육의 목표는 영재의 창의성을 신장하는 방향으로 전환되고 있다. 따라서 이를 위한 교수-학습 프로그램의 개발과 보급이 시급하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 PCM모형을 활용하여 영재 프로그램을 개발하고 이를 영재아동들에게 투입하여 그 실효성에 대해 질적 연구를 통해 알아보았다. 그 결과 PCM 프로그램은 영재아동들의 정의적, 인지적 특성 변화에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 또한 영재아동들에게 수준에 맞는 활동을 제공하여 학생들의 학습욕구를 충족시켜주었다. 따라서 PCM 프로그램은 초등학교 영재에게 적합한 프로그램이었다.

The purpose of the study was to develop a program based on PCM(Parallel Curriculum Model) model for the gifted students, and investigate the effectiveness of the program with qualitative research methods. This program was designed to encourage the gifted students to explore mathematics that is closely related to the real world. The results of the study revealed that the program based on the PCM model had positive effect on the gifted students emotionally and cognitively. In conclusion, PCM program is considered an appropriate program for the gifted students of elementary school.
