As Taiwan faces a declining birth rate, the number of small-scale schools is gradually increasing. Finding more suitable classroom structures, curriculum patterns, and learning methods to support effective student learning has become an urgent priority for educators. Multi-grade instruction is one of the strategies in this context and is also a widely adopted approach internationally. In Taiwan, some small schools have started piloting multi-grade instruction, often beginning with subjects such as arts that have more flexible structures. The main purpose of this study is to investigate foundational curriculum model and instructional strategies of art related teachers applying in multi-grade classrooms in Taiwan. In order to complete the purposes, the multi-methods are conducted, including literature analysis, interview, observation, document analysis and so on. The conclusions of this study are as follows: Firstly, under multi-grade instruction, art-related curriculum models often adopt approaches similar to spiral-themed design. Secondly, in terms of teaching strategies, multi-grade instructions are gradually emphasizing differentiated performance standards, the peer mentoring system, and teacher task division. Thirdly, from the perspective of teachers involved in implementing multi-grade instruction, experiential viewpoints are presented. Based on the above conclusions, several suggestions are provided to teachers preparing to implement multi-grade instruction. |
