| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育學系 === 105 === In response to new guidelines of 12-year Compulsory Education in high school curriculum, high schools have tried to obtain the governmental subsidies through the competing projects of curriculum and instruction to innovate high school elective courses. Following the perspectives of naturalistic model in curriculum development, this study observes the developmental progress of featured elective courses from a group of Home Economics teachers, pursuing the same concepts to shape the model of curriculum development.
With the same ideas and vision to pursue students’ high-quality learning, school administers and teachers’ professional learning communities (PLC) are the two pillars of school curriculum development. The principal actively set up a school-level platform for empowering co-creating curriculum development to root pioneering vision, have democratic dialogue and trust in teachers. Teachers have become the leaders of PLC to lead the faculty members to get involved in curriculum development voluntarily, playing key roles between the school and the subject levels. For about one year, these Home Economics teachers have built up their PLC to extend the senior high school curriculum framework, improve both of their subject-base and instructional professions, and, moreover, combine the local community resources with the experts in other fields to create an elective home economics course to bring in the practical wisdom of curriculum.
With the thinking of food education in a global perspective, this home economics elective curriculum, partly included in the guideline of 12-year Compulsory Education, expends the learning space to do the agricultural experience courses, leading high school students to implement the projects of life practical programs to change the world. Meanwhile, the edible schoolyard has also bridged the interactive dialogue among other subject teachers, school administrators and students, to implement the curriculum vison of co-creation. And, the progress of this elective course will also open the door of international education courses.
