Since the promulgation of 'the Curriculum Standards for Kindergarten' in 1987 and the announcement of 'the Early Childhood and Care Education Framework (the ECCEF)' in 2017, Taiwan's early childhood education has undergone a wave of curriculum changes. Adopting a narrative inquiry approach, this study listens to the stories of 25 preschool teachers as they encounter the new curriculum, seeking to understand their experiences and perceptions. It also incorporates perspectives from curriculum scholars and curriculum facilitators to explore the landscape of Taiwan's preschool curriculum implementation. The study reveals that the new curriculum marks a transition into 'the next generation' of Taiwan's early childhood curriculum history. It presents a curriculum image centered on 'core competencies, child agency, and professional interpretation and reflection.'The reform constitutes a journey of reconstructing teachers' professional language, while practical implementation highlights tensions between the theoretical nature of the curriculum text and its application in practice. Thus, the new curriculum signifies not only a policy shift but also a process of 'cultural reconstruction.' Ultimately, only when teachers become 'professional agents' capable of understanding, interpreting, and generating meaning from the new curriculum can this 'next moment' truly take root, continue to grow, and unfold in Taiwan's early childhood education landscape. |
