Taiwan announced the ''General Guidelines of the 12-Year Basic Education Curriculum'' in 2014, promoting competency-oriented curriculum development and learner-centered instruction. To align with this reform, the pre-service teacher education curriculum was further revised, and in 2018, the ''Teachers' Professional Competency Guideline–Pre-service Education Stage and Curriculum Benchmark'' was issued, requiring teacher education universities to autonomously design their curricula based on the 12-Year Basic Education Curriculum to highlight their training characteristics. This study focuses on the reform of pre-service elementary school teacher education curricula in Taiwan. Using document and archival analysis, official policy documents and teacher education curriculum reform files from relevant universities were collected to illustrate the developments and changes after the first two years of curriculum implementation. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with policy participants involved in curriculum reform at teacher education universities to understand the design of the new curriculum framework, the status of characteristic development, the implementation of competency-oriented training, and changes in teacher candidates' learning conditions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive picture of this early stage implementation and challenges of the new curriculum benchmark. |
