This paper aims to construct a curriculum model on reading comprehension strategies, and to explore the effects of this curriculum model for pre-service teachers. Based on a gradual release of responsibility model, the constructed curriculum model consisted of two levels and four stages. The two levels were related to learning strategies on reading comprehension and the corresponding teaching strategies; the four stages were cognition, rehearsal, practice, and reflection. Participating pre-service teachers were engaged in group collaborative learning during each of these four stages. A curriculum development group was formed in this study, consisting of the researcher and 4 elementary seed teachers. Using the developed curriculum as the instructional materials, the researcher invited 9 pre-service teachers to participate in this study. Based on the collection and analysis of qualitative data, the research findings are concluded as follows. 1) The gradual release of responsibility model appeared to be helpful for pre-service teachers learning the reading comprehension strategies and how to teach them. 2) The practice stage of the curriculum model provided opportunities for pre-service teachers to master reading comprehension strategies. 3) Through group collaborative learning, pre-service teachers gained support to enhance their understanding of reading comprehension strategies. Finally, suggestions are provided in terms of curriculum development and practice for reading comprehension strategies. |
