During the ''108 National Curriculum Guidelines'' preparation in Taiwan, there was a controversy over the notion of ''one student, one curriculum table''. By examining the famous Winnetka School educational experiment of American Progressive Education a century ago, this paper shows that although the educational experiment did not have a formal ''one student, one curriculum timetable'', the experiment implemented the notion in a very complete and magnificent fashion. It not only provides various opportunities to stimulate students’ individual differences and encourages individual development and uniqueness, but it also emphasizes the development of students' social skills. More importantly, there is no need to scarify the concepts of ''class system''; ''class schedule''; ''classmates'' and ''mentorship'' or relegate these concepts to ''historical terms''. This is because social interaction is still a vital part of schooling. This paper first describes campus life through a ''virtual visit''; second, it explains the educational philosophy and planning highlights behind school life and further analyzes the historical experience of this educational practice when it was transplanted into China in the 1930s, as a reference for future attempts. Through the example of an educational experiment that respects students' individual differences, this paper hopes to help open up the possibility of implementing ''a one student, one curriculum timetable'' in Taiwan and outlines the most suitable approach for doing so. |
