Taiwan Indigenous People whose culture and language are different from majority group are one of education subjectivities. Their population accounts for only two percent of total population, but their population in indigenous area accounts for fifty percent of national population. It can be said to have an extensive effect on Taiwanese profession of education. The promotion of indigenous education depends on the awakening of consciousness of indigenous teachers´ culture. Education Act for Indigenous Peoples was made amends to Article 23 and Article 25 on 22 May 1994. It certainly regulated professional growth of indigenous teachers in chapter 4 and chapter 5. However, after the Act was passed in 1998, professional growth of indigenous teachers had been confined to lots of actual factors and policy bonds so that it couldn´t develop successfully. The study extensively examines the current status of teachers for indigenous education, and investigates the needs of professional growth of teachers in indigenous area. It aimed at competent authorities, principals, teachers and administration Staff of indigenous schools in north, central and south Taiwan to interview. The issue explores with perspectives of quality of current status, lack of professional attainment and growing needs of indigenous teachers, whether complementary measures have. Finally, I aim at materials gathered from the teaching scene and relevant research information to give advices to needs of professional growth of teachers in indigenous area. The research findings were as follows: The amount of indigenous teachers who teach in major Indigenous Schools are not enough; indigenous pre-service teacher education need more cultural courses. |
