The Ministry of Education officially announced the Temporary Curriculum Guideline of Preschool Activities (TCGPA) in 2012 to promote continuous improvements after preschool assessments and the “Integrated Kindergarten-Nursery School Policy.” Since then the Ministry of Education has gradually promoted and implemented TCGPA for the development of early childhood education. This study investigates the process of practicing thematic activities in TCGPA in preschools, as well as its problems and solutions in practice, through data collection of interview, observation, and analysis on document. Findings show that the process of practicing TCGPA in preschools is formulating annual and semester plans as well as selecting material and plotting courses based on preschoolers’ life experience, adjusting thematic activities according to the development of preschooler’s capability, building learning environment with preschoolers, assessing preschoolers’ learning and teachers’ teaching. Problems of ambiguity occurred when teachers and caregivers practice TCGPA in preschools, including unclearly defined scope of the course, confusion over learning indicator use, inadequate sensibility toward activities in emotional areas, lack of concept for integration courses, pressure from parents, insufficient administrative support, and so on. TCGPA is clarified by teachers and caregivers through reflection, teaching conference, group discussion, or workshop for TCGPA. Throughout the process of practicing TCGPA, the solutions to the problems above are derived from reviewing thematic activities and formulating semester plans, adjusting the mode of activity guide, learning to carry out integrated courses in daily schedule, cross-reviewing teaching assessments and preschoolers’ learning assessments, and parents’ sharing capability of preschoolers. Finally, the researcher reflects on the research process and summarizes the research findings to put forth recommendations for government departments.

The main purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how two teachers of a mixed-age class at a public preschool incorporated the Curriculum Guidelines into the theme-based curriculum, as well as the teaching strategies employed, any challenges faced, and adaptive strategies adopted by the teachers during implementation of the Guidelines. The researcher served as an on-site teacher for a mixed-age class at the target preschool for this study. The research tools used to collect data included participant observation, interviewing, and documentation. The duration of data collection was nine months. Triangulation, participant auditing, thick description, and researcher introspection were also utilized to further reinforce the truthfulness of the study. The findings were as follows: 1. Implementation of the curriculum guidelines within the mixed-age class can be classified into the following phases: curriculum planning, instructional execution, and learning and instructional assessment. (1) The curriculum planning phase of implementing the new curriculum included the two categories of instructional discussion and written plans. (2) The instructional execution phase of implementing the curriculum guidelines included classroom management, guidance of routine activities, and pedagogical practice of the theme-based curriculum. (3) The learning and instructional assessment phase of implementing the curriculum guidelines included qualitative descriptions of the children’s skill development as a way of assessing the children’s learning during the implementation transition period. 2. Challenges faced during implementation of the new curriculum included: the two teachers could not effectively cooperate, designing and arranging the charts and forms for the new curriculum required much time and effort, instructing students on the use of the assignment books took up too much time, the number of themes per semester was excessive, classrooms accumulated too many teaching materials, occurrence of unfulfilled group activities, a lack of class-wide experience activities, the monthly teacher conferences and the sharing and exchanging teaching experiences presentation in the end of each semester lacked effectiveness, and a clash in ideas and concepts with the co-teacher in the class. 3. The adaptive strategies used by the two teachers of the mixed-age class in response to the challenges listed above can be summarized in four ways: underwent instructional discussions with other teachers to adjust the teaching methods, teaching strategies, and learning environment, as well as to strengthen the teaching beliefs of all teachers in the school; used “theme-based course design” software to examine the relationship between teaching activities and learning indicators; teaches for each class made suggestions to make changes to and adjust the assignment book and the number of themes to be included per semester; worked to improve the effectiveness of the monthly teacher conferences and the sharing and exchanging teaching experiences presentation in the end of each semester.

This study focused on examining the practice of creative play courses as part of the six major Preschool Curriculum Guidelines in mixed-age classes, as well as the children’s participation and behavior during the courses. A mixed-age class of 29 preschool children aged 3 to 6, at a public preschool where the researcher worked as an educator, was chosen as the research subjects for this study. Using the six major Preschool Curriculum Guidelines as a premise, the study underwent 15 weeks of creative play course activities, utilizing multiple methods such as observation of the children’s learning situations, the educators’ thoughts on class instruction, audio and video recordings of the classes, and interviews with assistant educators for data collection and cross validation. The study also employed the use of think description and thorough assessment to analyze the educators’ planning and strategies for class activities, children’s learning development, and displays of creativity during class activities. The findings were as follows: 1.Applying creative teaching strategies as the major guide for curricula and activities planning. 2.The Preschool Curriculum Guidelines can ably serve as a blueprint for the planning of class activities for mixed-age classes. 3.Class activities should be based upon the children’s age, interests, and abilities in order to better distribute the levels of difficulty and variations. 4.Class planning should be geared towards play activities, using multiple types of activities for creative play courses, combining activity topics with the learning topics to further enhance the children’s learning process. 5.The use of the Scaffolding learning method by educators and peers can increase the preschool children’s learning efficacy and interest. 6.Educators should be aware of any difficulties that may arise during instruction, and plan for contingencies ahead of time. Thorough assessment and adjustments to the instruction methods can enhance the educators’ professional development, as well as improve the current state of teaching. In conclusion, from the findings of this study, principles for planning learning activities in mixed-age classes can be raised, as well as serving as reference and recommendations for any difficulties and or strategies involved during the practice of creative play courses in preschools.

Full textPreschool education in Queensland is undergoing a series of redevelopments. The process of redefining preschool education is a long and involved one. In the final publication stage, these developments have been given a curriculum focus, with a framework proposed to link all aspects of preschool curriculum. As the vehicle through which the preschool curriculum is delivered, the Guidelines highlight and promote developmentally, socially and culturally appropriate learning opportunities and outcomes for children in a preschool program. Determining whether such outcomes are appropriate has in the past, been a task relegated to the professional judgment and decision making of the teacher. The focus of the renewed Preschool Curriculum Guidelines explores a new perspective, by highlighting the need to develop worthwhile and 'workable' partnerships with parents, children, professional colleagues and community members to influence the quality of the learning outcomes for children. Resolving whether such outcomes meet quality measures introduces a focus on the value of preschool education, and particularly, its contribution to establishing foundations for lifelong learning. At the same time as introducing a focus on what is appropriate, understanding 'quality' involves the interpretation and understanding of 'quality' asa more inclusive term, incorporating all elements of practice.
It has been argued that the Queensland Preschool Curriculum Guidelines are reaffirming the like-minded and that, since it is the responsibility of principals and school administrators to disseminate the Guidelines, the focus should be narrowed to identifying and exploring their views regarding the Preschool Guidelines and understanding of quality preschool practice. This research represents a new and innovative approach to the study of professional knowledge and the way it is used to make judgments about the provision of a quality curriculum in the preschool context.

Abstract This study aims to explore the situations that the preschool principal meets while launching the new curriculum guidelines, including the process of curriculum leadership, the strategies, and the difficulties. This study is a case study with a preschool principal who implemented the new curriculum guidelines to be a research subject. Based on interview, observation, and materials collecting, researcher analyses and collates the data individually. The results indicate that principal in this case has developed “Period of concept formation”, “Period of counselling and guiding”, and “Period of independently leading” on the process of curriculum leadership during launching the new curriculum guidelines. The strategies used in the process of curriculum leadership include three directions. First, building the interactive consensus with team teachers and parents by seminars to get the supports and identities for the development of new curriculum guidelines. Second, providing a supportive teaching environment by allowing the experts to visit the preschool and allying a professional communication through teachers’ study circles. Last, strengthening the professional abilities of team teachers by training curriculum teacher leader for each levels to assist and enhance the professional skills of new coming teachers. The personal difficulties of preschool principal in the curriculum leadership process are two dimensions, especially, the pressure to be the target preschool for new curriculum guidelines and the deficiency of time caused by burdens from both work and academic. In addition, the mainly difficulty inside the preschool is the misinterpretation with the new curriculum guidelines information from principal by team teachers, so that the disparities of team educational belief and of team teachers’ backgrounds and professions contribute the worse performance on development, advancement, and implementation for new curriculum guidelines. According to the results above, it could be the suggestions for a preschool principal in the curriculum leadership, educational administration of authority, and further studies.

Full textIn 1998, early childhood teachers throughout Queensland were required to attend a professional development program to familiarise them with the new Preschool Curriculum Guidelines. While this 'top down' or mandated professional development activity was characteristic of the type of professional development usually accessed by early childhood teachers, it provided no guarantees that any changes to teaching or learning would be subsequently incorporated into early childhood classrooms. The professional development activity also demonstrated the continued use of the 'expert' model as a means of bringing about changes to teaching practices.
This report explores the shortcomings of this 'expert' model. Using the outcomes from a teacher initiated professional development activity that used action research strategies as its' framework, the report demonstrates the explicit links between professional development and change, and highlights the advantages of using action research as a framework for effective professional development activities. The report concludes with a series of recommendations for future professional development activities in the field of early childhood.
