영재학생과 일반학생의 초기의지와 지속의지 및 몰입에 관한 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to identify the tendencies of the two groups (the gifted student group and the normal student group) in terms of early conation, continuous conation, and the flow . This study also attempts to verify the effects of the early conation of the two groups on the continuous conation and flow . Three questionaries were used for the early conation (task attractiveness and goal specification), continuous conation (resolution, effort, and patience), and flow . 80 Elementary school 6th graders participated in this study, 40 gifted and 40 normal, in order to identify the tendencies of two groups on the early conation and continuous conation. The mean and standard deviation of the flow and the simple regression analysis were carried out based on the data gathered. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in early conation (p<.01), continuous conation (p<.05), and the flow (p<.001). The predictive influence on the groups appeared in the order of flow (20.8%), early conation (9.6%), and continuous conation (5.7%). In addition, the simple regression analysis and correlation analysis were carried out in order to identify the influence of early conation on continuous conation and the flow in the groups. The results revealed that early conation showed the degree of the influences as 47.5% on the flow and 44.1% on continuous conation. From this study, several suggestions can be made; teachers should recognize the importance of early conation in the learning and teaching processes for both the gifted and normal students and develop the processes for maximizing their effects. Such is needed in order to carry out the studies on conation and flow enhancement programs as well as the proper introduction to conation.
