In Taiwan, teachers commonly use curriculum packages predesigned by textbook publishers to respond to national curriculum reforms. How have their relations changed under the Curriculum Guidelines of Taiwan’s 12-Year Basic Education? Ethnographic data were collected through observation, field notes from attendance of school-based curriculum codesign meetings weekly, and interviews with teachers and textbook publishers’ representatives. Adopting ANT as a sensitizing framework, this study identified two assemblages: textbook–new curriculum guideline-service-assemblage, and minimum teaching hour–colleague-curriculum codesign meeting-assemblage. For the first assemblage, connections between actors turned weak. New curriculum guidelines translated textbook publishers to be unable to provide textbooks for new courses; therefore, they were unable to serve teachers. For the second assemblage, due to a minimum number of teaching hours to fulfill, teachers were enacted to develop new courses without the support of teaching materials from textbook publishers. Teachers were enrolled in SCCMs so that they could legitimately use curriculum packages and course materials codesigned in the SCCMs, thereby further solidifying teaching practices without the assistance of textbook publishers. This study revealed that a new curriculum enacted teachers collectively developing a teaching practice independent of textbook publishers. |
