The 12-Year Basic Education Curriculum Guidelines (108 Curriculum Guidelines) take“core competencies”as the main focus. In addition to advocating for core competency-oriented teaching, the integration of issues into the curriculum is also a point of attention, echoing the development trend of current educational reforms. In order to systematically integrate issue education into school-based curriculum and prompt schools to adjust their curricula and teaching activities, this has led to the design of school-based curriculum . This research explores the current situation and challenges faced by small schools in Taiwan’s six municipalities in integrating issues into their school-based curriculum after the implementation of the 12-year Basic Education Curriculum Guidelines. This research adopted a content analysis method, using the curriculum plans of school-based curriculum in the elementary schools for content analysis. The research subjects were randomly sampled from small schools with 12 classes or fewer in the six municipalities of Taiwan (Taipei City, New Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Taichung City, Tainan City, and Kaohsiung City). The integration of issues in the curriculum plans of the schools’school-based curriculum was investigated. The research results found that, on average, small schools across the six special municipalities integrated issue education about 7 times per school per academic year, accounting for only one-sixth of the 41 weeks, leaving around 10 or so issues unexplored. Furthermore, the different formats of school-based curriculum plans across the six special municipalities also affected the planning of issue education curricula. The plans alone could not reveal the actual integration situation in schools. Even for the most frequently integrated issues, it was difficult to achieve balanced planning of their substantive content in the school-based curriculum, with many aspects left unaddressed. The author believes that the integration of issue education into school-based curriculum still needs to be strengthened, such as issues with school-based curriculum plan formats, teaching material development, etc., which are similar to the challenges faced during the promotion of the past 9-Year Continuous Curriculum. It is suggested that the central government can assist in planning issue education curricula and teaching materials, or offer relevant courses with designated class hours to promote the implementation of issue education. |
