由於2009年10月所修訂的特殊教育法第35條規定，造成在99學年度開學前，許多國中小的音樂、美術與舞蹈資優班紛紛轉型為一般性的藝才班，脫離特殊教育的體系。本研究選擇在這關鍵時刻上，作99學年度以前三個教育階段（國小、國中、高中）三個資優領域（一般智能、學術性向、藝術才能）的男女比值之分析研究。所分析的資料為特殊教育通報網從93學年度上學期到98學年度下學期的統計資料，在這六個學年度中有11個時間點的資料被選取。分析結果發現，就台灣整體資優生群體而言男性資優生是相對數量較少的弱勢族群，特別是男性藝術才能資優生，分析之後並提出相關的討論與建議。

The revised 35th item of Special Education Law, which was passed in October, 2009, caused many artistically gifted classes in elementary and junior high schools to turn into general art classes and to separate from the system of special education before the 99th school year started. At this crucial moment, this study analyzed the male/female ratio of gifted students at three levels (elementary, junior high, and senior high school) in three areas (general intelligence, academic aptitude, and artistic talent). The data involved in this study are provided by the special education transit net. Spanning 6 school years, the data collection starts in the first semester of the 93rd school year and ends in the second semester of the98th school year. The data of 11 time points during these six school years were selected for analysis. The results of analysis demonstrated that gifted male students were the minority group in Taiwan's whole gifted population. Artistically gifted male students were especially in the dire situation of underrepresentation. After the display of findings, discussion and implications for the education of the gifted were presented.
