The purpose of this research is to study the process of how a senior teacher interprets and transforms the curriculum text when she teaches social studies curriculum of Grade 1-9 curriculum first time. Case study method was adopted in this research, and all study data were collected via observation, interview, and document analysis to inquire the interpret points and transform process of the curriculum and textbooks from the social studies curriculum teacher in our case. Finally, some conclusions and suggestions were made, and the results of this research could be the references for teachers to rethought the curriculum text and use the social studies textbooks sufficiently.
The conclusions of this research are as follows:
1. The teacher in case study considered that curriculum is
not a synonym of textbooks. In fact, teaching materials
and opportunity education also belong to curriculum.
Additionally, the curriculum planning is just a principle
framework, and the contexts within it can be amended.
2. The teacher adopted a random-teaching method to infuse the
six critical issues without any new teaching unit.
3. The teacher did not deny the value of textbooks. However,
she would amend and reorganize the contexts of textbooks,
not depends on it.
4. The teacher did not perceive the ideological problems of
social studies textbooks. Nevertheless, she had the
thought of ethnics toleration and multicultural.
5. The strategies of curriculum text transformation adopted
by the teacher were based on reorganizing and adding the
new teaching units into the textbooks.
Based on above conclusions, some suggestions provided in this research can be classified into four areas: a practical method for educational administration to supply teachers with strategies of curriculum text transformation, a way for schools to give teachers more motives to transform curriculum text, a manner for social studies curriculum teachers to transform curriculum text efficiently, and a future research about how to study our case or topics deeply.
