This qualitative study explored the cultural content in a culturally responsive curriculum (CRC) used at an Atayal elementary school in northern Taiwan. The principles underlying the formulation of the CRC were also investigated. The CRC’s theme was "becoming qualified Atayal men and women" and it was based on an integrated curriculum framework and was designed to combat the stereotypes portrayed in a variety of cultural vehicles. Consonant with the socialization process of Atayal children, Atayal narratives were selected and organized sequentially based on cultural ideas such as people on the land, people with the tribe, and people in nature to cover culturally relevant concepts, events, and facts. To help students view the world from an indigenous-centered perspective, the CRC had guided students to read tribal narratives, compare cultures with each other, acquire scientific knowledge from ethnic culture, and experience cultural activities. The findings indicated that cultural fluidity and Atayal teachers' beliefs are key elements in CRC implementation and suggested that they should be deliberated and adjusted appropriately in time and through the curriculum action. |
