The present collaborative action research was applied with the Consulting Model for Reflective Practice, with the main purpose to help in-service teachers improve their group discussion strategies. With two senior in-service kindergarten teachers in Changhua County as participants, this study spent over 13 weeks in the filed to collect data. Data collected included on-site observation, video recordings, interview records, reflective journals and relevant documents, etc. This study examined how the participant teachers developed their co-interpretation of the thematic activities in group discussion, and the dynamic interaction within the discussion. The grounded theory was applied to analyze the data. The findings indicated that the traditional curriculum was transformed into the curriculum developed by both teachers and students through the interactions developed in group discussion. In order to fulfill such transformation of the curriculum, participants needed to clarify the development of thematic activities, to apply appropriately with strategies of probing to inspire children's thinking and interests, and to build up discussion climate to increase the motivation and willingness to discuss. |
