Summary:碩士 === 南華大學 === 教育社會學研究所 === 95 ===   The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the political figures and political identities covered in the social study textbooks under three development models (Choushan Model, Nanhai Model, and Grade 1-9 Integrated Curriculum Model). To achieve the research objective, this study first extracted the backgrounds of the political figures covered in the textbooks of the three period and adopted a content analysis to analyze the coverage of political figures in social study textbooks for elementary school education. Further, the text analysis method was applied to analyze the presentation and description of political figures, probe into the implications, understand the perspectives and ideologies behind the political figures, and further discuss the evolution of political identities and political culture in Taiwan.      The major findings of this study included: 1. Political identity in each period featured a specific historic development. 2. Choushan Model presented the political identity based on the Great China ideology. 3. Nanhai Model presented the political identity based on the Great China ideology. 4. Grade 1-9 Integrated Curriculum Model presented the political identity centered on the discourse of Taiwan as a subjective entity. 5. In the textbooks, it was stressed that Chinese or Taiwanese political figures would affect children to have different political identities.
