Abstract

Provided is a method for developing an assessment table which is used as a standard for measuring kinesthetic giftedness of preschoolers, that is, 5 to 7 years old infants, for indexation of the kinesthetic giftedness based on measured data for each section and factor using the assessment table, and for classifying the kinesthetic giftedness into levels, so as to identify and assess detailed abilities and potential of kinesthetic gifted infants.

Claims

1. A method for indexation and level classification of kinesthetic gifted infants, comprising:

processing a pretest score (a) in which an assessment tool for measuring kinesthetic gifted infants between 5 to 7 years of age is developed and an assessment standard is established, and a score for each section including fundamental movement, fitness, and sports achievement motivation sections as well as a measured score for each detailed factor corresponding to the each section are drawn using the standard, and then the scores are inputted through an input and a controller receiving the inputted score classifies the inputted scores by corresponding section and factor to calculate a raw score through a pretest score processing unit;

calculating a standardized score (b) in which the controller converts the raw score calculated through the classification by section and factor into a standardized score according to gender and age of participants, and then calculates a standardized score for each section and factor;

calculating a gifted children index (c) in which the controller substitutes the calculated standardized score for each section and factor with an index calculation formula, and then calculates a gifted children index through a gifted children index calculating unit;

classifying by level (d) in which the controller performs clustering of the calculated standardized score for each section, separates the clustering result into a plurality of bands, and classifies by level so as to make classification judgment after distribution according to the band through a cluster analyzing unit; and

outputting (e) in which the controller stores the calculated indexes as well as classified levels into a database and outputs the indexes and levels through a display.

2. The method for indexation and level classification of kinesthetic gifted infants according to claim 1, wherein, in step (a), the method comprises an assessment table of a tool for measuring kinesthetic gifted infants which is used as a standard for calculating scores for each section including fundamental movement, fitness, and sports achievement motivation sections as well as for each detailed factor according to the corresponding section.

3. The method for indexation and level classification of kinesthetic gifted infants according to claim 1, wherein, in step (a), the classification by factor comprises basic locomotive movement, combination locomotive movement, general manipulative movement, specific manipulative movement, stability movement, health-related fitness, performance-related fitness, sports achievement motivation factors.

4. The method for indexation and level classification of kinesthetic gifted infants according to claim 1, wherein, in step (C), the index calculation formula is applied in the following form:

(obtained score/mean score)×

100+((average months of age—

monthly age of participant)×

constant of difference between monthly ages).

5. The method for indexation and level classification of kinesthetic gifted infants according to claim 1, wherein, in step (d), k-means and Self-Organizing Map (SOM) used for a cluster analysis are applied to the clustering for each section.
