This study investigated the career barriers perceived by university students and explored how these barriers influenced career motivation, particularly through the moderating roles of career decision-making autonomy, relatedness, and competence. The research was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 explored the perceived career barriers by university students in Korea, while Phase 2 confirmed the relationship between these barriers and career motivation and verified the moderating effects of career decision-making autonomy, relatedness, and competence. We found that in Phase 1, conducted with 249 participants, four career barrier factors were confirmed: informational change, social relationships, psychological pressure, and fear of failure, from which fifteen items were derived. The types of perceived career barriers differed depending on major and gender. In Phase 2, conducted with 523 participants, we found that career decision-making motives moderated the relationships between career barrier factors and career motivation. Specifically, career decision-making relatedness and competence significantly moderated the relationship between career barrier factors (psychological pressure and fear of failure) and career motivation. The findings highlighted the importance of adopting an integrated and contemporary approach in career education, based on an understanding of the relationship between career barriers and career motivation, providing critical educational implications.

Research has demonstrated the crucial role of creative metacognition and risk-taking in creativity. However, little empirical research has examined how creative metacognition and risk-taking work on creative performance in educational practice. This paper explored the moderating effects of creative metacognition on the relationships between different types of risk-taking (i.e., propensity for taking a risk, willingness to take a risk) and creative performance (i.e., general creativity, originality, usefulness) in a middle school context. The sample consisted of 350 7th- and 8th-grade students from three middle schools. They completed a survey and a creative performance task. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that creative metacognition moderated the relationships between willingness to take a risk and both originality and usefulness. The results indicated that creative metacognition reinforces the positive effect of risk-taking on originality and mitigates the negative effect of risk-taking on usefulness. Our findings suggest a potential role for creative metacognition in enhancing curriculum-based creative performance in middle schools. In the end, practical implications, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

In this study, we explored teachers' perceptions of creative students' characteristics and how these perceived characteristics are related to students' school adaptation or creative talent perceived by teachers. To this end, we conducted two studies. Study 1 explored teachers' perceptions of creative students' characteristics. Study 2 examined how the characteristics of creative students affect teachers' perceptions of students by using an experimental vignette method. In Study 1, we collected 25 teachers' perceptions of creative students' characteristics in an open-ended manner. Responses were categorized by a total of 41 characteristics, and a 9-point Likert scale was finally created. The scale was conducted on 204 teachers, and six factors resulted from the exploratory factor analysis. In Study 2, we created 2⁶ (= 64) vignettes using six factors derived from Study 1. A total of 189 teachers participated in the vignette experiment and confirmed how teachers' perceptions of students (i.e., academic achievement, academic motivation, peer relationship, relationship with teachers, intention to recommend creativity nurturing special programs, and the burden of teaching) differed by the characteristics presented in each vignette. Based on the results, the importance of teachers' perceptions in creative education was discussed.

Despite the likely relevance of socio-cultural context, very few studies have examined the influence of cultural values on teachers’ perceptions of gifted students’ leadership development. This study chose three nations representing collectivistic to individualistic contexts and compared how 478 teachers from these countries (South Korea = 176, 36.8%, Australia = 169, 35.4%, U.S. = 133, 27.8%) differed in their beliefs about the prevalence and development of gifted students’ leadership talent. Differences were found between the individualistic (Australia and the U.S.) and collectivistic (South Korea) settings in their beliefs regarding which students have leadership potential; their judgments about effective leadership styles and leader qualities; their perceptions of gifted students’ qualifications as future leaders; and their preferred criteria for recommending students for a leadership education program. Although unable to identify causal relationships, this study nevertheless cautiously suggests that leadership and leaders are intertwined with culturally mediated values and practices. Future studies should continue examining these differences in cross-cultural comparative contexts.

... Olszewski-Kubilius et al. (2017) advocated for opportunities for gifted children to work with other advanced learners at their own pace, completing extracurricular activities to explore and develop their passions and interests or receiving accelerated instruction to fulfill their educational needs. Gifted and talented learners need to develop their potential across their lifespan and schools often cannot provide education for all disciplines of study with specialized curricula, and professionals capable of preparing students eager for deeper knowledge (Olszewski-Kubilius, Subotnik, Worrell, Wardman, et al., 2021). However, examples of successful implementation of enrichment in school settings exist, including the Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM; Reis et al., 2021;Renzulli & Reis, 1985). ...

... The researchers also found that intelligence had no significant effect on thoughts compared to openness to experience. Woo and Lee's (2024) study revealed the relationship between risk-taking, creative metacognition, and creative performance in the school environment. They empirically investigated the relationship between creative metacognitive knowledge and creative metacognitive regulation on two kinds of risk-taking (daily and content-specific risk-taking) and various aspects of creative performance (general creativity and original usefulness) for junior high school students. ...

In situations where decisions have moderate consequences, academic intelligence proves to be somewhat advantageous (Lee et al., 2023;Massoud et al., 2023;Ruiz, Sanz, & Muñoz, 2023). Practical skills involve resolving everyday issues based on past experiences and effectively managing oneself, others, and tasks. ...

... Such creative personality traits can help in breaking away from conventional thinking, broadening the scope of thought, activating the association of disparate ideas, and positively influencing creativity manifestation [4,5]. Generally, creative personality shows a declining pattern from the upper grades of elementary to middle school, with the decline being particularly prominent in middle school compared to elementary school [6]. Therefore, it is imperative to explore the factors influencing creative personalities, which can decrease during middle school. ...

... Our findings also showcase the perceived benefit of a well-designed and intentional leadership development program to enhance the leadership and group skills of students with gifts and talents. The finding is critical to gifted education given the strong association between typical traits of giftedness (e.g., high intellectual functioning, advanced emotional and social interests, civic awareness, and civic engagement) and leadership functions (Bruce-Davis et al., 2017;Lee et al., 2021;Lee & Olszewski-Kubilius, 2016;Matthews, 2015). Researchers (Feldhusen & Kennedy, 1988;Lee et al., 2021) have suggested that leadership training may be a useful addition in summer programs-and programs, in general-involving youth with gifts and talents; however, leadership development has not received much attention in the field (Matthews, 2015). ...

In the case of the cognitive component, several studies highlighted the involvement of cognitive abilities in moral development (Derryberry and Barger 2008;Hoffman 1977;Lee and Olszewski-Kubilius 2006;Lee et al. 2020;Simmons and Zumpf 1986;and Tirri and Nokelainen 2007). Many complex cognitive processes, such as considering, selecting, processing, and interpreting multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors, various contexts, and perspectives as a whole, but also anticipating the consequences of actions and applying social norms accordingly, are essential for moral development (Beißert and Hasselhorn 2016;Derryberry et al. 2005). ...

... Traditionally, Korean students are educated to comply with social rules and regulations ; particularly, those selected to attend gifted schools also typically have strong ethics and prosocial demeanors. Because academic excellence and teacher recommendation are two of the decisive criteria for giftedness selections in South Korea (Kim, Moon, Park, & Seo, 2016;Lee et al., 2017), and because Korean teachers place a high value on ethical manners and conformity in recommending students for gifted programs (Lee et al., 2017), it is perhaps not surprising that this sample of Korean gifted students tended to express prosocial attitudes and behaviors. Gifted high schools in South Korea also operate a variety of leadership and volunteering activities as part of their gifted curricula, and exposure to these may have increased these students' interest in social issues and maneuvered them into moral behaviors. ...
