Abstract
This study aims to develop a theoretical empower- ment education model to support multiculturally gifted students in Korea. To propose a theoretical model, prior studies about representative multicul- tural education models, gifted education models, and multicultural gifted education models have been reviewed and the contents of the 17 Korean Global Bridge Programs for multicultural gifted students have been analyzed. These models focus on cognitive abilities and curriculum factors such as transfor- mation through empowerment at schools and in society; however, language, self-esteem, self-agency, and interpersonal skills, which affect cognitive de- velopment, must be considered in addition to the aforementioned factors for the multicultural gifted students. The Multicultural Gifted Empowerment Education (MGEE) model was developed to suit the specific needs of Korean multicultural gifted educa- tion. The MGEE model has two components: founda- tion and enrichment. This model focuses on cogni- tive development based on affective and societal supports, which most multicultural students lack.
Öz
Bu çalışma Kore'de çok kültürlü üstün yetenekli öğrencileri desteklemek için teorik bir model önerisi sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç kapsamında ön plana çıkan çok kültürlü eğitim modelleriyle ilgili çalışmalar, üstün yetenekli öğrencilere yönelik eği- tim modelleri, çok kültürlü üstün yetenekli öğrenci- lere yönelik eğitim modelleri gözden geçirilmiş ve Kore’deki 17 Küresel Köprü Programlarının içeriği incelenmiştir. İncelenen bu modellerde, güçlendirme amacıyla okul ve toplumda bilişsel yetenek ve öğre- tim programı gibi faktörlere odaklandığı görülmek- tedir. Ancak çok kültürlü üstün yetenekli öğrenciler söz konusu olduğunda bu faktörlere ek olarak dil, öz saygı, öz temsiliyet ve kişilerarası beceriler de dikka- te alınmalıdır. Çok kültürlü Üstün Yetenekli Öğren- cileri Güçlendirme Modeli (MGEE), Kore’de yaşayan çok kültürlü üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin gereksi- nimlerine uygun olarak geliştirilmiştir. MGEE mode- linin yapı ve zenginleştirme olmak üzere iki bileşeni vardır. Model, çok kültürlü öğrencilerin pek çoğun- da eksik olan ve temeli duyuşsal ve toplumsal destek kaynaklı bilişsel gelişime odaklanmaktadır.
