Both the initial grade 1–9 and later the 12-Year Basic Education curriculum guidelines of Taiwan emphasize school-based curriculum development (SBCD). However, research is limited regarding the challenges that teachers encounter during curriculum development and the curriculum knowledge they possess in relation to SBCD. Through analysis of curriculum documents observations of participants in school meetings, and teacher interviews, the present study explored junior high school teachers’curriculum knowledge and changes to this knowledge over time during their participation in SBCD and evaluation. The findings indicated that teachers initially paid attention to curriculum goals, school-based curriculum resources and context, and student learning characteristics during the early stages of curriculum design. After implementing the developed curriculum and engaging in self-reflection through the curriculum evaluation conducted at the school, the teachers’curriculum knowledge was deepened. Teachers were then able to align curriculum and school-wide goals, ensure consistency in curriculum organization, and recognize the importance of vertical coherence and horizontal integration within the overall school curriculum. In the context of implementing the 12-Year Basic Education curriculum guidelines, the process of developing and reflecting on SBCD deepens teachers’curriculum knowledge, facilitating integration between individual curricula, overall school goals, and student learning needs. This process reinforces professional growth. |
