碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 課程與教學研究所 === 100 === The purpose of this study is to understand the beliefs and the application of these beliefs into teaching praxis of a remote elementary school teacher. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the teacher believes that students can be an agent. The teacher role is to cultivate students’ capacity for thinking deeply. He cares about every student and offers diverse learning experience to make students who are constrained by social-economic status to imagine and to find their future ways by reading a lot. He encourages students to explore, inquiry, solve problems by using the rich natural environment well to be the learning materials. It is suggested that remote school teachers should reflect on the purpose of education by reading more books about remote school education and figure out how to use the opportunities well and transform constraints.
