The 12-Year Basic Education Curriculum Guidelines (hereinafter referred to as the 2019 Curriculum Guidelines) prioritized core competencies to integrate the curriculum. This research investigated the critical aspects of implementing core competencies in vocational high school curricula and the development of the“Vocational High School Classroom-Level Competency-Oriented Curriculum and Teaching Appropriateness Indicators”(hereinafter referred to as Appropriateness Indicators). The educational objectives of vocational high schools were to cultivate students’professional practical skills, foster vocational ethics, enhance literacy in humanities and technology, develop creative thinking, and adapt to societal changes, thereby laying the foundation for career development and enhancing pragmatic employability. Therefore, how each cluster of subjects incorporated professional competencies with the nine core competencies was a significant issue. This research, conducted from March 2020 to December 2021, employed a collaborative action research methodology, utilizing document analysis, interviews, expert consultations, and participant observation as data collection methods. In collaboration with the vocational high school teacher community, teaching plans were developed, proposing two dimensions, eight principles, and seventeen Appropriateness Indicators. The research found that the Appropriateness Indicators effectively enhanced teachers’understanding of implementing the core competencies in various clusters/departments, increased teachers’confidence in competency-based teaching, and facilitated the organizational operation of cross-cluster/department/subject teacher communities. The research suggested that these Appropriateness Indicators could be incorporated as a tool for professional development of vocational high school teachers, serving as reference principles for curriculum co-preparation dialogues, and as a foundation for planning teaching enhancement and empowerment workshops. |
