Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 工業科技教育學系 === 93 === This research reveals the modes and practical ways of junior-high school-based curriculum development through interview with relevant people at school. Furthermore, the practice of technology education is particularly focused in school-based curriculum. For this purpose, interview method is in use with administrative staffs, living technology teachers, and the leader of natural science and living technology from four junior high schools in Taipei city. These people are interviewed from aspects of practice of school-based curriculum, curriculum design, administrative support, teachers’ professional knowledge, resources application, successful traits, and difficulties.
The following passages introduce the specific practice and details at present of technology education in junior high school.

2.Efficient preparation and connection work created with curriculum.
3.Living technology teachers all participate actively.
The Difficulties

1.Appropriate topic development.
2.Using environmental protection materials well in design and production.
3.Combination of living technology and career counseling.
Meanwhile, there are some suggestions as follows.
1.Living technology teachers should develop not only living technology related but also natural science related activity curriculum.
2.There is still some relevant point in case living technology is not the center of school –based curriculum.
3.Active communication with other-fields teachers can increase the performance of living technology in school-based curriculum.
4.Using community sources and parental participation.
