The research data from literature reviews, interviews, participant observations and document analyses were collected and analyzed. The primary findings of this study were as follows: 1. The purposes of managing the glove-puppet group were to develop student’s aspects of cooperation and to improve their ability of concentration, and, more important, to preserve and spread the heritage, by experiencing and learning the art of glove-puppet show. 2. The strategy of managing the glove-puppet group in this elementary school was to include the performance training as a part of elective courses which were opened to all 3 – 6 grade students. The teachers of the group were hired not only from the elementary school but also from some professional troupes outside of the school. The budget was fundamentally based on government’s support and the income of performance. 3. The training program could be divided into two parts: onstage and music. The onstage training program focused on the skills of manipulating puppets and the special way of speech in the show. The music training program focused on how to play the music instruments for the onstage glove-puppet show. 4. The explanation and demonstration were the two main teaching methods in the Glove-Puppet Group, and librettos of the traditional glove-puppet show was the dominant teaching materials. 5. The lack of time, budget, and participated students were the three key predicaments of the Glove-Puppet Group. It relied on teacher’s devotion and the finely cooperation of the teaching team to solve these difficulties.
