Besides, the author tried to analyze the change of students during their participation in the cheerleading course. Furthermore, this thesis also recorded the difficult situations the teacher faced, the solutions and the students’ achievement during the teaching process. The author adopted the cheerleading training system for colleges that was addressed by Chi Li Yang in 1994 as a basic concept, combining other teaching methods for special education suggested by some scholars with self teaching experiences, to design a cheerleading training curriculum for adolescent students with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities. During the teaching process, the author went through a cycle of planning, implementing, reflecting, and adjusting in order to solve the problems that the author had face while teaching. The qualitative data that were collected included the teacher’s self-reflection journal, the observation sheets, and video recordings to discuss the problems the teacher had confronted, solutions, and instruction. The research findings included three parts, the principle concepts of this curriculum designing, the changes of students during the process of the Action Research, and the teacher’s difficulty, solutions and achievement during this teaching process.
