International Education generally became one of the important trends in education promotion throughout the world. The Ministry of Education announced White Paper on International Education 1.0 and 2.0 for elementary and secondary schools in 2011 and 2020, and provided funds through School-based International Education Program (SIEP) to support schools’ implementation. However, there were gaps between the ideal curriculum and educational practice. This study aimed at exploring the dilemma of schools connecting the school-based localized curriculum to International Education curriculum in junior high and elementary schools. The qualitative content analysis was adopted to analyze thirty-nine SIEPs of consultation workshops in two counties. The findings as follows: First, some localized issues weren’t embedded in the global contexts and lacked international perspectives. Second, global issue inquiries were limit to personal level and weren’t connected to countries, regional organizations, or global systems level. Third, international curriculum was narrowed down to English thematic teaching. This paper also provides suggestions of perspectives of system, interdependence, and reciprocal reference for the design of the school-based localized curriculum to International Education curriculum in junior high and elementary schools. |
