Placed in the context of globalization and localization, this paper examined Taiwan’s core competence curriculum reform regarding its curriculum concept and curriculum theory from Reconceptualism perspective. Firstly, the author argued that core competencies play a key role in the 12 Year National Basic Education Curriculum Reform in Taiwan. The concept of core competencies in 12-Year Basic Education emphasizes lifelong learning. These competencies were divided into three broad dimensions, namely, autonomous action, communication and interaction, and social participation. Each dimension involved three items. Autonomous action entailed physical and mental wellness and self-advancement; systems thinking and problem solving; and planning, execution, innovation and adaptation. Communication and interaction entailed semiotics and expression; information and technology literacy and media literacy; and artistic appreciation and aesthetic literacy. Finally, social participation entailed moral praxis and citizenship; interpersonal relationships and teamwork; and multicultural and international understanding. |
