Everyone has potential for calligraphy, which is termed by the writer as “calligraphy potentiality.” However, the dilemma existing in the current curriculum and instruction in higher education makes it difficult for learners to fully develop their calligraphy potentiality. The dilemma includes: the learners follow the teacher’s curricular design and arrangement without any opportunity of self-learning; the assessment of calligraphy is identical; calligraphy teaching is reduced to the duplication and reproduction of skills; the learners’ affective and learning needs are mostly ignored. In order to make a breakthrough in this dilemma, differentiated curriculum, instruction and assessment were implemented through an action research process in this research. The focus of this research was brought back to every individual learner’s learning process and growth. In this way, the learner’s interests and specialties were combined and the knowledge, skill and affective aspects were all integrated, preparing multi-paths for learners to develop their calligraphy potentiality. An example of the differentiated calligraphy curriculum is provided in this study comprising differentiated instructional design, process of learning, and assessment measures that respectively consider the content, process, and outcomes of the calligraphy teaching. The core principles of the proposed calligraphy curriculum can serve as a reference for pedagogical researchers on differentiated curriculum design. |
