Summary: | 碩士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 特殊教育學系所 === 99 === The major purpose of this research is to understand the current situation and problems in curriculum design and teaching implementation in gifted and talented resource rooms. The participants are chosen from elementary gifted-and-talented-resource-room teachers in northern, central, and southern Taiwan. With stratified cluster sampling, two methods, questionnaire and interview, are adopted to carry on the survey. The main conclusions are as follows:
1.The curriculum design and teaching implementation approximately meet students’ diverse needs.
2.There is still much room for improvement in differentiated curricula and teaching implementation.
3.The differences in schools, genders, and professional backgrounds indicate statistical significance in terms of curriculum design and teaching implementation.
4.The differences in academic backgrounds and seniority show statistical significance in terms of curriculum design while they don’t show such significance in terms of teaching implementation.
5.The differences in ages and titles are not statistically significant in terms of curriculum design; however, ages and titles indicate statistical significance in terms of teaching implementation.
6.Difficulties in curriculum design and teaching implementation:
(1)Aspect of administration: Teachers encounter limits and dilemmas on class schedules, rewards, duties, needs for professional training programs, and on restricted time for coping with students’ problems in learning and life.
(2)Aspect of specialized abilities: Teachers are under great pressure of making teaching materials (topic-finding, no references…).
(3)Aspect of curricula: Teachers face fewer difficulties in this aspect.
(4)Aspect of interpersonal relationship: Teachers encounter fewer difficulties in this aspect.
(5)Aspect of resource-sharing: Teachers have been confronted with difficulties in inter-school resource-sharing, insufficient information of materials in Special Education Resources Centers, and sharing via network platforms.
