웹을 기반으로 한 e-Mentoring은 시간과 지리적 제약으로부터 학습을 자유롭게 해주며, 보다 많은 영재들에게 전문가 멘토와 의사소통할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 단지 웹을 활용한다고 해서 영재들간의 상호작용과 지식구성이 저절로 촉진되지는 않는다. 선행연구 결과들은 온라인 멘토링에서의 상호작용이 피상적 수준에 머물거나, 온라인 멘토링에서 형성된 관계의 깊이에 상당한 편차가 있었으며 멘토와 멘티간의 깊은 결합은 상대적으로 드물었다고 밝혔다. 온라인 토론이 진정한 의미의 사회적 지식구성의 장으로 활용되기 위해서는 온라인 멘토링이 효과적으로 이루어질 있는 조건에 대한 탐색과 다양한 인적기술적 지원이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 영재들을 위한 e-Mentoring 시스템 설계 시 고려해야 할 인적기술적 지원 조건을 종합적으로 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 구성주의 학습 모형, 특히 PBL을 바탕으로 e-Mentoring 시스템을 설계개발하는데 있다.

Analysis of Conditions and Design of e-Mentoring System for Facilitating the Communication and Knowledge Construction in the Gifted Education Despite increased interest and research on e-Mentoring, researches indicate that deep connections and communications between mentees and mentor seems to be relatively rare and it's so difficult to construct the knowledge through online discussions. To facilitate the communication and knowledge construction, it is needed to determine under what conditions online mentoring is more effective and what kinds of support are needed. The purpose of this study is to analyses human and technical conditions for facilitating the communication and knowledge construction and to design e-Mentoirng system. PBL e-Mentoring based on Constructivism was developed. It modified Barrows' PBL and was composed 5 steps - ‘Introduction’, ‘Identifying the Problem’, ‘Exploring and Exchanging Information’, ‘Constructing the Knowledge’, ‘Extending the Knowledge and Evaluation'. By the result of the analysis of the human and technical conditions, it gives the guidelines to mentors and administrators for supporting and facilitating online discussion. As a conclusion, the possibility of PBL e-Mentoring for the gifted education was identified.
