The greatest challenge faced by experimental schools is the development of a curriculum that meets their unique educational objectives. This paper reports the establishment of a co-learning inquiry community by school teachers and a teacher educator in an indigenous experimental elementary school. Driven by the school’s pedagogical goals and prerequisites, the teacher educator introduced a suite of practical methodologies for crafting a culture-based and supplemental mathematics curriculum (CBSMC). The comprehensive process—incorporating curriculum design, pedagogical implementation, iterative reflection, evaluation, and revision—was deliberated during CLIC meetings. These meetings placed major emphasis on the articulation of mathematical problems while embedding culturally relevant events into the curriculum. After the CBSMC implementation, an observable increase in student engagement and mathematical comprehension was reported, a success attributed to the input of local elders and the discussions within the CLIC. This model of curriculum development, as demonstrated in the study, could provide a practical framework for other experimental schools aiming to customize their curricula to meet specific educational objectives. |
