| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立師範大學 === 工藝教育學系 === 83 === As its current curriculum standard has been updated,
the junior-high-school subject "industrial arts" (IA) in
Taiwan will be shifted to "living technology" (LT). In the
new curriculums tandard, problem-solving (PS) is explicitly
suggested to be a key instructional strategy of LT. The
purposes of this study were to explore: (1) the instructional
strategies which were suggested in both the current and the
new curriculum standards, (2) the instructional strategies
which current IA teachers had been employing, (3) the
possibility to implement PS strategies in theLT, and (4) the
efforts needed to be made to widely and effectively
implement PS strategies. Through literature review, indepth
interview, classroom observation, videotaping analysis and
expert conference, this study achieved the following four
conclusions:
(1) There is an apparent distinction among the instructional
strategies which were separately suggested in the current
curriculum standard and the new one; (2) The instructional
strategies which current IA teachers actually use are too
limited to meet the ideal strategies suggested in the current
standard; (3) Current IA teachers consider that employing PS
strategies in LT is necessary and feasible; and (4) To
effectively implement PS strategies, current IA teachers have
to adapt current instructional activities, facility and
equipment management, and strengthen their own pedagogical and
technical skills.
