"This study was conducted in an elementary school which adopted multi-grade instruction. The study explored social studies curriculum mapping and implementation for 5th and 6th graders and their experiences through classroom observation and interviews with a social studies teacher and students. The three main findings of the study are as follows: (1) the curriculum mapping and implementation of Taiwan history for a multi-grade class was influenced by the teacher’s belief, the nature of Taiwan history units, and students’learning experiences and interests; (2) being in a multi-grade class had a positive effect on students’attitude to and motivation of learning Taiwan history; (3) students felt they learned better in a multi-grade class though they infrequently exhibited social skills. Three suggestions are provided: (1) the curriculum mapping of Taiwan history for multi-grade classes should employ curriculum rotation; (2) there is a need for developing multiple forms of curriculum organization for multi-grade classes; (3) in a class with few students, it is still essential to arrange multiple types of grouping to develop students’social abilities and self-regulated learning abilities." |
