This article reviews the development of a human rights education curriculum in elementary school by the author and its achievements. The author analyzes the value and goal of human rights issues in the 12-Year Basic Education Curriculum in Taiwan, and considers how human rights can formulate a problem-solving ability, which is consistent with the concept of core literacy in the new curricular standard. Based on my experience in implementing the curriculum, I propose four generalized instructional models: the media-oriented thematic teaching mode, the text-oriented reading instruction mode, the issues-integrated instruction mode, and the local story footprints inquiry mode. In addition, I introduce four principles of effective teaching to meet the goal of literacy-based pedagogy in human rights education. Based on practical results, I indicate the challenges of human rights education and make some suggestions for educators. Finally, I look forward to a future vision of schooling in which human rights thinking becomes part of a teacher’s personality and whereby each educator seeks to implement human rights education on campus. |
