As a result, through the whole process, we found out all the difficulties and made some suggestions for curriculums revising.

We utilized “case study” and applied quantifying method - questionnaires of “students’ small group cooperative learning and effect of active learning in teacher education course”, and two other qualifying methods called semi-structural interviews and collecting learning progress files.
