This research intended to restructure the current educational programs for gifted students so that students can develop their ICT competencies as they go through gifted education programs without allotting extra class hours for ICT education. To fulfill the purpose of this research, the following procedures were carried out: (1) we defined the ICT competencies that are required to students who are gifted in math and science, (2) we generated the strategies for ICT curriculum development that will be used for gifted students, (3) we selected the educational themes that ICT aspects will be applied to, (4) we developed the educational programs in selected themes based on the preset strategies, (5) we modified educational programs after pilot-testing on the fields, and (6) the completed ICT programs are distributed nation-widely.* This research was conducted as part of KOFAC(Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity)'s research support program.
