This study involved a content analysis of the general guidelines of the 12-Year Basic Education Curriculum to identify the key expectations therein and establish a checklist index for this literacy-based curriculum. The researcher analyzed the content of two-digit addition and subtraction in comparable first-grade textbooks from Taiwan and the United States and utilized the aforementioned checklist to identify corresponding teaching materials. On the basis of an analysis of literacy-based design, the researcher found that Taiwan's textbooks respond to literacy-based textbooks: they support autonomous learning, contextualize material, and provide opportunities for thought and inquiry, as well as for interaction and reciprocity. Textbooks in the United States also include an in-depth and sophisticated literacy-based design that further supports autonomous learning, inquisitive thinking, altitudinal learning, and interdisciplinary learning. In conclusion, this study provides suggestions for the textbook design of a literacy- based curriculum and offers guidelines to teachers and schools on how to most effectively implement such a curriculum. |
