跨學科教師發展統整課程之個案研究

A Case Study on Interdisciplinary Teachers Developing an Integrated Curriculum

The purpose of this study was to investigate the processes of how elementary schoolteachers from different disciplines (language arts, social studies, art) and from differentlanguages (English or Chinese) co-created an integrated curriculum, and to provide thesuggestions for teacher professional development. The research question concerns howin-service teachers developed an integrated curriculum. This study’s data are of threemain types: (1) audio tapes of teacher study-group conversations (in transcript form), (2)teachers’ portfolio (which collected teachers’ curriculum and artifacts generated from theresearch), and (3) reflection entries from my reflection journal. Findings suggest that theprocesses of teachers integrating curriculum were “searching the focus,” “intertextualizing,”and projecting. In addation, teachers were successful in creating an integrated curriculumwhen they were able to use their own interpretation, connections, and vision. Findingsalso suggest that the teachers’ construction of an integrated curriculum is different fromthat of academics. Academics and other experts should allow teachers to use their owninterpretation, connection and vision, and respect their autonomy. With that foundation,academics and teachers can collaborate with fruitful results. 這個研究的目的是要藉由檢視不同領域和語言的小學教師共同創造統整課程的過程來對教師專業發展做建議。研究的問題是在職教師如何發展統整課程。研究資料包括教師的團體討論的錄音帶（以逐字稿呈現）、教師的檔案夾（收集了教師所有課程設計和研究中所產生文件等資料）、研究者的省思札記。研究發現教師發展課程統整的過程包括教師尋找焦點，做連結和預設課程。研究發現從教師的角度來建構課程統整是與課程統整的學者定義的課程統整內容和過程是不同，課程學者和專家能夠了解並尊重教師在課程統整的能夠使用自己的詮釋、連結和願景，並尊重教師能夠發展屬於自己統整課程自主權。在這基礎上，專家學者和教師可有更好的合作和結果。
