본 연구는 과학영재학교 재학생을 대상으로 심층면담을 실시하여 정보요구와 정보이용행태를 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 선행연구를 바탕으로 연구를 설계하고, 전국 8개의 과학영재학교 중 6개 학교에 재학 중인 10명의 학생들을 대상으로 반구조화된 면담을 진행하여 정보요구와 정보이용행태 전반을 탐색하였다. 과학영재학교 학생들의 정보요구를 교과 활동과 교과 외 활동 영역으로 확인할 수 있었고, 학생들의 주요 관심 주제인 수업 및 학습, 연구 활동에서의 정보이용행태를 ISP 모형 기반으로 살펴보았다. 정보 이용의 전 과정에서 선호정보원을 파악하고, 이를 종합하여 과학영재학교 학생들의 정보이용행태의 특이점과 시사점을 논의하였다. 본 연구는 영재학교 도서관 연구를 위한 기초자료로 사용되며, 과학 주제 분야에 심화적인 관심과 재능이 있는 학생들을 위한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 자료로도 활용할 수 있는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students’ information needs and information-seeking behavior at science schools for gifted through in-depth interviews. The research design was conducted based on previous studies. Through in-depth interviews, this study examined ten students from six out of eight science schools for the gifted in Korea for information needs and overall information-seeking behavior. The results showed the information needs of students at science schools for gifted in the areas of curricular and extracurricular activities as well as the information-seeking behavior in teaching, learning, and research activities, which were the main topics of interest to students based on the ISP model. Based on these results, we identified the preferred information sources in the information-seeking process and discussed the peculiarities and implications of students’ information-seeking behavior. The research is meaningful as it can be used as a basis for further research on the science school for gifted library and as a resource for providing services for students with deep interests and talents in science subject areas.

Abstract

This study presents the findings from research on the Everyday Life Information Seeking (ELIS) behaviors of Korean government officials in their 50s. 500 survey respondents participated and the quantitative data were analyzed through Structural Equation Model having six key concepts such as personal information environment, information-seeking attitudes, online information attitudes, barriers to information seeking, retirement expectations, and library expectations. The findings showed the important relationships between expectations of the retirement and two constructs (personal information environment and information-seeking attitudes). This study can be used as a strategic implication for library practitioners to develop their library management process in accordance to the potential and powerful evolving user group in a future aged society.
