Full textAbstract:
Nearly four in ten state school principals in Queensland are teaching principal. They work alone or with one other teacher in schools. Yet these teaching principals, located in isolated country areas attract limited attention in research into school leadership. They seem absent in theoretical models of educational leadership built from analyses of principals in large urban schools. In effect, smaller schools are viewed as ‘scaled down’ versions of larger schools, underpinning a false assumption that leadership and managerial approaches in small remote schools are similar to those in larger urban schools. Or the problem is dismissed. If there is only one full-time staff member—the teaching principal—is leadership possible and if so, what influences it? The purpose of this study was to examine teaching principal leadership as a particular phenomenon of school leadership. This was done by exploring the experiential accounts of teaching principals in one-teacher schools in remote rural Queensland settings. Their accounts describe their experiences and perceptions of the leadership practice needed to lead their schools, the influences upon this practice, their reactions to those influences and what constituted success in leadership. A case study design was used, guided by the theoretical underpinnings of the symbolic interactionist, who argues that meaning is to be found in the interactions between social actors. Qualitative data were derived from six beginning teaching principals’ perceptions of experiences related to practice. Data were analysed using grounded theory methods, especially with the use of constant comparison. A cross case comparison showed a number of consistent influences on leadership. Findings from the study extend recent reconceptualisations of school leadership particularly, understanding the importance of relationship building. Relationship building in the remote rural settings studied occurred at various levels: professional, school-based, personal, and community-wide. Principals who understand the importance of relationship building—especially its personal and community-wide facets—who take the initiative in establishing and nurturing relationships and improving them through reflection over time, are more successful at motivating, inspiring, and aligning country people to facilitate change. The acquisition of supportive relationships is presented as a possible precursor to school leadership in small remote rural school settings.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
Over the years in the Northern Territory, there has been a growing interest among educators and Indigenous people in remote communities to improve community school leadership and school community partnerships as a means of improving Indigenous school outcomes. This study has investigated and recorded the stories of five Indigenous female school principals in the Top End of the Northern Territory on their leadership approaches in negotiating school community partnerships in their respective communities. The female principals are in many ways regarded as pioneering leaders of their remote community schools in their own right, and are held in high esteem in their communities - qualities which made them ideal participants for this study. The study utilised a Biographic Narrative Interpretive Methodology (BNIM) to record, interpret and analyse the data for the study. Three interviews were conducted with each participant over a period of time. While the study revealed that Indigenous female principals have achieved major advancements in their individual and collective ways in working collaboratively with school communities, they also experienced enormous challenges and constraints in their efforts to demonstrate good educational leadership and work in partnership with their communities. Some of the challenges included their roles as women in an Aboriginal community; balancing school leadership, family and community commitments; and, complexities of working with the mainstream. In narrating their stories, the female principals maintained that cultural values play a significant role in building such relationships and advocated for language and culture to be supported through commitment at the system level. Additionally, they revealed that community school leadership should be flexible and context bound as rigid bureaucratic structures are inappropriate for Indigenous community setting.;As such they advocated for culturally appropriate relationships between systems and local communities. Notably, among many other issues, they maintained that all appointments of principals in remote community schools must, at all times, be accompanied by adequate consultation and effective participation of community leaders and/or their relatives and community representatives. Such collaboration and cooperation between communities, schools, and the system is likely to improve relationships between schools and communities. Additionally, the Indigenous female principals in this study emphasised the importance of supporting dimensions of leadership, for example, shared leadership as a reflection and relatedness of their culture. Such dimensions they believe are required for developing and sustaining school community partnerships.

This master thesis design and implement new software which can help children learn and practice "Wubi" Chinese typewriting. The purpose of designing this software is to effectively reduce the phenomenon in China known as "forget how to write while taking pen", so-called character amnesia. First we interviewed two experienced teachers and one class of pupils from an elementary school to collect data. Based on the data we collected, we built a set of prototypes by using PowerPoint on computer and evaluated it by three invited children who belonged to our target user group. After we modified our prototype, we implemented it on a computer using the Java programming language. When the process came to the evaluation part, we invited four students who had background knowledge on the field of HCI and its evaluation methods, to help us finish a cognitive walkthrough evaluation. Although some part of our software, such as certain interfaces and sequences, should be improved in the future work, the opinions of the evaluators were mostly positive.

Full textAbstract:
The parental choice of school process is a complex undertaking for parents. This complexity is evident when considered from the nuanced perspective of school choice by Indigenous and non-Indigenous parents living in rural and remote areas. The social and geographic contexts of these parents give rise to unique challenges which shape the ways in which they choose a boarding for their children. The parental choice of school process consists of psychical constructions and processes which help parents define their understandings of 'good' schools and with which they engage in the boarding school choice process. The purpose of this research is to explore the ways in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous parents select a boarding school for their children. This will illuminate the reasons for changing enrolment patterns at a Catholic boarding school in north-west Queensland. The following research questions emerged from a synthesis of the literature. These research questions framed the research process: How does rurality/remoteness influence parental choice of boarding school? How do parents living in rural and remote areas inform their choice of boarding school for their child? How does school culture influence rural and remote parents' boarding school choice? How does race influence the boarding school choice process for rural and remote parents? Given that this study focuses on the ways in which parents engage with the boarding school choice process, an interpretive approach has been adopted. A constructionist epistemology underpins the study, and symbolic interactionism and Indigenous methodology are the theoretical perspectives. The methodology for this research is case study. Data were collected from a total of 36 participants (Indigenous/Non-Indigenous parents living in rural and remote locations; Principals of the research site school; Indigenous Support Personnel at the system level) using focus groups and one-on-one semi-structured interviews.

This study reveals how a rural and remote school community conceptualizes senior visual art programs. The study was based on interviews with students, parents and teachers, these interviews were transcribed and analysed according to the adopted phenomenographic structure. Photographs taken by
the participants of the cultural context were included and explained by them as a part of the interview. The study identified conceptions of place as well as four conceptions of senior visual art programs. The four conceptions focus on
cognitive abilities and expression, the enjoyment of practical tasks, employment for girls and the lack of/existence of theory within the visual art programs.
The initial impetus for this study was the low number of students electing visual art as a subject in their senior studies at a rural and ~emote high school. The researcher while teaching visual art in a rural and remote community
experienced this trend. The decision making processes in the selection of school subjects became the focus for this research and the vehicle for identifying held conceptions. The reasons for choosing, or not choosing, visual art as a subject revealed the immediate and embedded conceptions of visual art programs that ultimately shape the decision making process. The school community's conceptions of visual art programs focused on the intrinsic and/or extrinsic qualities of senior visual art programs. These conceptions can be applied to better understand and meet the needs of visual art education in a rural and remote cultural context. The findings from this research can be significant to teachers, teacher educators, administrators, curriculum writers and researchers involved in visual art education and rural and remote education. This research has
provided insights into the understanding and experiences of visual art education in a rural and remote cultural context. This suggests that further study in this area would be useful to those interested in visual art education in the wider context of rural and remote education.

Full textAbstract:
The experience of transitioning to boarding schools away from home for Aboriginal secondary school students from regional and remote communities in Australia has not received the attention it deserves (Calma, 2009; Dodson, 2009). The weight of public discourse and a paucity in research provided strong testimony for undertaking the current study. Moreover, it was evident the voice of those Aboriginal students undertaking the experience was absent from this public dialogue and the literature. This qualitative research investigated from a social constructionist perspective how 32 male Aboriginal secondary school students from regional and remote communities constructed meaning and understanding around the experience of studying away from home at five boarding schools located in Perth, Western Australia (WA). While students’ experiences with being away at boarding school were explored, it also investigated how meaning was constructed around the experience of having a child away from home for 11 parents and the experience for 16 staff employed at boarding schools in supporting students. Congruent with the assertions of the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC, 2003) this research was supported by an Aboriginal Advisory Group. A narrative interviewing style was used to collect data from student, parent, and staff informants. Thematic analysis of the data revealed three major themes emerged for student informants, these were 1) Decision Making and the sub-themes of Choice-Less Choice and Opportunity 2) Organisational Climate and the sub-themes of School Environment and Belonging, Culture Shock, Homesickness, Identity and Rites of Passage, Code-Switching, Teachers, Academic Expectations, Residential Life, and Friendships and Peer relations, and 3) Relational Change and the sub-themes of Family Dynamics, Friendships at home, and Cultural Connectedness. For parent informants the following major themes emerged from the data 1) Access, Standards and Quality, and the sub-themes of Declining Local Schools, Opportunity, and Worldliness 2) Parental Agency and the sub-themes of Parent-School Connection, Parenting Style, Communication, and Milestones and Siblings, and 3) Cultural Heritage and the sub-theme of Maintenance and Transmission. Finally, for staff informants the following major themes were identified 1) Indigenous Education and the sub-themes of Social Responsibility and Opportunity 2) Academic and Social Determinants and the sub-themes of Culture Shock, Homesickness, Friendships and Peer Support, Literacy and Numeracy, and Prejudice, Stereotypes, and Racism 3) Relationships and the sub-themes of Staff-Student Relationship, Staff-Parent Relationship, and School-Community Relationship. The key findings from each informant group are reviewed. However, to provide a wider discussion of informant’s experiences and constructions of the transition experience, attention is also drawn to meta-themes that were evident across the student, parent, and staff informant groups. The findings of this research are discussed in relation to policy and practice implications pertinent to boarding schools in WA. The strengths and limitations of the current research are considered and future research directions are suggested. This research offers a unique contribution to current understandings of the transition experience to boarding school for male Aboriginal secondary school students from regional and remote communities.

Full textAbstract:
In Australia, non-Aboriginal people have been involved in Aboriginal education since the end of the 19th century. There has been ongoing criticism of non-Aboriginal involvement in Aboriginal education and a movement towards Aboriginalisation in education. This study addresses the issues faced by six non-Aboriginal teachers in remote Aboriginal communities in the 1990's. The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences and perceptions of non-Aboriginal teachers living and working in remote Aboriginal communities in the 1990's. Through this research I found that the non-Aboriginal teachers faced difficulties living and working in remote Aboriginal communities. They talked about the distinctive lifestyle and living conditions. They reported a need for pre-service and ongoing professional development focusing on aspects influencing their lives. The discussion topics included: their living circumstances; Aboriginal world view; Aboriginal health issues; community issues; Aboriginal teaching and learning styles and school policies. The study is consistent with previous research about non-Aboriginal teachers living and working in remote Aboriginal communities. It argues that pre-service and ongoing professional development is vital for the success of non-Aboriginal teacher in remote communities. Community based educational programs for non-Aboriginal teachers are needed. These programs should include non-Aboriginal teachers learning about Aboriginal culture, Aboriginal learning and teaching styles and the development and implementation of educational policies. These programmes need to include discussion of aspects of living in isolated settings. Schools and governing bodies involved need to develop closer liaison with non-Aboriginal teachers to support their living in this setting. It is also important that policies in place address the problem of the high turnover of non-Aboriginal staff experienced by remote community schools. This study also poses the question what is the future for non-Aboriginal teachers in remote Aboriginal communities? Aboriginalisation in remote Aboriginal communities is highly recommended.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate how the transition into remote education in Swedish upper-secondary schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the implementation of communicative tasks during lessons in English as a foreign language, and its consequences on students’ willingness to speak. For this purpose, the following three research questions were posed: 1. In which ways have communicative classroom activities in Swedish upper-secondary schools been affected by remote education according to English as a foreign language learners? 2. According to English as a foreign language learners, in which ways have their willingness to speak English been affected by remote education in Swedish upper-secondary schools? 3. What are some aspects that have influenced English as a foreign language learners’ willingness to speak English during remote education in Swedish upper-secondary schools? A total of 128 students from different upper-secondary schools and regions in Sweden were surveyed, after which three of them were interviewed. The data were then analyzed using a univariate and content analysis method. The results of the study suggest that remote education has entailed an immense impact on the communicative classroom. All studied communicative activities decreased in amount, as did the students’ willingness to speak English. This is a consequence of aspects such as technical complications, difficulties in reading others’ body language, locational restraints, and learning objectives.

This thesis aims to demonstrate the economic potential of a multi-sided platform (MSP) for remote operation of drones shared over the internet. The commercial drone market has been rapidly growing, but a close look reveals that costs, operational complexities, and regulatory restrictions are holding back more widespread adoption. The thesis explores ways in which a drone sharing platform can mitigate these challenges with technological solutions like remote operation over the internet and advanced autonomy to simplify drone use and reduce search and transaction costs for drone applications. The thesis also evaluates restrictions on remote operation and proposes a strategy based on an expected loosening of regulations over time to scale the business to a dominant position with competitive advantage.

A Study on the School-Marketing Strategies of Elementary Schools in Remote Areas of the Taipei County Hsin-Chun Hung Abstract This study was aimed to realize the actual practice and the difficulties when exercising school-marketing strategies at elementary schools in remote areas of the Taipei County. The methodology was mainly based on questionnaire-survey. The subjects of this research were the primary education personnel of the 97th school year at Taipei County schools located in remote areas .The study population is estimated at 750 . 480 questionnaires were sent out and 281 returned valid. The valid recovery rate was 59%. Frequency distributions, one-way ANOVA, t-test and Scheffe’s posterior comparisons were used to analyze the collected data. The conclusions reached were summarized as follows: 1. The overall actual practice of the school-marketing strategies is fair, of which the "channel strategy" being the best while the “product strategy" worse in performance. 2. Remote primary school -marketing strategy focuses on constructing self-characterist characteristics, but lacks the application of school identification systems. 3. The superiority of the remote primary school marketing strategy is the good teacher-student relationship, and the inferiority is students’poor academic performance. 4. Holding Parent-Teacher Day or symposiums is the most frequently used way of marketing by remote primary schools. 5. Remote primary schools interact insufficiently with the community and schools in other districts. 6. There are remarkable differences in the perceptions of remote primary education personnel with different sex, ages, levels of education, positions, and experience at schools of different length of history on the actual practice of their respective school-marketing strategies. 7. The most serious implementation difficulty while exercising remote primary school-marketing strategies is the shortage of money and manpower. 8. Another difficulty is that the educational personnel lack marketing expertise . 9. There are remarkable differences in the perceptions of remote primary education personnel with different ages, levels of education, positions, years of service on the difficulties when exercising school marketing strategies. In the light of the above conclusions, I would like to suggest from the perspectives of "resources to help", "school management", "personnel training" for the reference of remote primary schools and education authorities to develop school marketing strategies and formulate relevant policies respectively.

Abstract This study examines the school-based curriculum developed in a remote small primary school in Yunlin County. In order to survive the crisis of being closed or amalgamated, this case school develops its own school-based curriculum and hence becomes a featured school. The results of the study can provide a reference for other small schools in remote areas. This study adopts case study research method, interviewing 10 people in total, including the principal, the staff and school teachers. The researcher makes suggestions after analyzing the interviews, emails, conference reports and teaching activity designs. There are four objectives of this study: to investigate the progress and strategies of the school-based curriculum development of the case school, to analyze the factors and difficulties of the school-based curriculum development, to explore the principal’s leadership of the school-based curriculum and to understand the change of the teachers’ professional skills after they join the school-based curriculum development. Based on the above objectives, the study reaches the following conclusions: 1. The school-based curriculum of the case school starts from an external promotion and it has been revised continuously. 2. The school-based curriculum development of the case school is affected by the natural environment, the industrial resources in the community, the human resources inside and outside the school, the grant resource, the teachers’ participation and the promotion of the government. 3. The difficulties that the case school encounters during the development are mostly personnel problems. The problems and solutions are as follows: i. The problem of the deficiency of human resource. The strategies employed are: considering the school administration carefully, deciding what to leave out and what to leave in the development and asking for extra personnel support. ii. The problem of the staff’s complaints about work overload. The strategies employed are: the principal placates the teachers, reducing the unnecessary workload from the staff; the school holds informal activities to draw the staff closer to one another; the principal takes charge of the task himself so as to reduce the teachers’ workload. iii. The problem of the frequent staff turnover in remote schools. The strategies employed are: assistance provided from expert teachers; setting up small groups to help novice teachers to join the curriculum. iv. The problem of the different teachers’ attitudes toward the development. The strategies are: establishing teacher groups to collaborate with each other; encouraging teachers to read the teaching cases related to school-based curriculum development; applying benchmarking. 4. The principal of the case school emphasizes the curriculum leadership to promote the development of the school-based curriculum. 5. The teachers’ professional development includes: enhancing the knowledge of ecology and improving the ability of designing ecological curriculum; focusing on different aspects of education; having great enthusiasm in ecological teaching; increasing the opportunities for evaluating their teaching; acknowledging their professional deficiencies; facing challenge with more positive minds; multiplying their teaching methods; having self-learning abilities. In conclusion, the study, based on its findings, proposes several suggestions for educational authorities, principals’ curriculum leadership, regular schools, remote schools, case schools and future research in this area.

It’s a very important issue to establish a sustainable school which is different from others and can use some marketing strategies to improve itself. This study selected students’ parents from four elementary schools in remote areas of Miaoli County as objects to disscuss if the school’s marketing strategies and the scoool’s image will affect the parents’ intention to let their children enroll.

The subject of this research is about the problems and the solutions that the junior high school principles, who lead schools under six classes in the remote districts in Taitung county, faced in the process of the leadership of the Grade 1 to 9 curriculums. The topics of the directions and methods that the principles lead the curriculums, which includes the empowerment, the practice, the evaluation of the curriculums and the professional dialogue. Secondly, I summed up the interviews and designed a questionnaire for all the teachers in these five junior high schools to fill in. According to the result and the purpose of this research, I gave my suggestions as following: 1. The essential conception of the curriculum leadership: The future and the sectionalism have to be designed according to the own situation of the school, to harmony with the relevant curriculums, and to be evaluated. What the students, the parents, the communities and the school consider to be needed should be in the category of school sectionalism curriculum. Continuing to work on the district tactic alliance, to build up the standers of ability evaluation for all phases, to link between the curriculums, to create new teaching methods and to carry out the curriculum plans in the classroom. 2.The relevant elements of curriculums leadership: The outside resource and assistance should not be limited just from the communities. Teachers who have worked in the school for six to twenty years are more enthusiastic and the rest of them should be more encouraged. Those who totally disagree with the surrounding schools to hire circuit teachers for the subjects of art and skill are mainly composed with the female, the less experienced, the directors and the art and skill teachers. If the school wants to hire circuit teachers, those who are described above are the main subjects to communicate with. The principles should acquaint themselves with the real situations in school; listen to the voices of the teachers and work on the cooperation between schools. 3.Review of curriculums leading: Open the computer classroom in school; establish the public website for the community; conduct the dormitory for the students. Set up subsidiary courses in the eighth period, in the evening or during winter and summer vacation. Invite outstanding personnel or alumni to give speeches or information discussions in school. Visit metropolitan schools. Cooperate with the government for the organization reform and the personnel management for the tactic alliance schools to hire circuit teachers. Divide all the students by their ability and teach them with ages mixed. The professional administration staffs should get together and work in the area administrative center. The teachers should deal with only the affairs of students but other affairs of administration. Improve the ability for curriculums development and professional autonomy to empower the teachers. Increase professional dialogues. The principles have to understand the teacher culture and encourage the teachers to have professional growth. 4. Suggestion for the following researchers: The subjects for the research can be included with the principles of different kinds of schools and the personnel, excluding the principles, who lead the curriculums. Work more on the changing elements related to curriculums leadership; on the management of the duty for the staffs; on the duty of the curriculums development organization and educational administration to reform the organized system.

In order to shorten the gap between urban and rural areas, the stability and quality of teachers are the key. However, the high turnover rate of teachers is the biggest problem in school education in remote areas. This phenomenon often causes more frequent changes in school personnel, which directly affects students academic performance. According to the characteristics of System Dynamics, this study explores the factors affecting teacherswillingness to teach in remote areas, and constructs three dimensions, namely, personal trait fitness, job satisfaction and external support. It summarizes and draws a general causal loop map of teachers willingness to teach in remote areas. Through the general chart of causal loop, this study finds that there are 15 driving factors affecting teacherswillingness to teach in remote areas, nine of which can be used as policy intervention points. There are two policy intervention points in the aspect of fitness of individual traits, namely, opportunities for further education and positive attitudes towards education in remote areas. In the aspect of job satisfaction, there are four policy intervention points: tutoring students time, administrative workload, appropriate allocation of classes and cultural stimulation. In the aspect of external support, there are three policy intervention points: administrative support, parents positive participation and school funds. Based on the above nine policys intervention points, specific suggestions are put forward for the reference of educational authorities and schools in remote areas in formulating policies. It is hoped that good policies can improve teachers willingness to teach in remote areas and stabilize teachers human resources in remote areas.

In recent years, students’ behavior problems on campus have increased due to the rapid social change, the changes of family structure, and the rapid flow of information. It makes it harder for teachers to understand students’ thoughts and behaviors, especially those of high graders in elementary schools. What’s far worse, the impacts of declining birth-rate result in more remote elementary schools. One of the most important issues is whether the inconvenience of natural areas and insufficiency of teaching resources would affect students’ self-concepts, life adaptation, and even school identity. Thus, it is very important for teachers to understand students’ cognition and thoughts in order to correct their learning. The purpose of this study is to realize the relationship and differences among students’ background variables (gender & grade), self-concepts, school identity, and life adaptation in remote elementary schools. In addition, the differences between students’ self-concept and teachers’ cognition are discussed. The research subjects are middle and high graders and their teachers in a remote elementary school in Tainan. Data are analyzed by using descriptive statistics, independent-sample t test, paired t test, and Pearson product-moment correlation. There are six main findings: 1. The self-concept of middle graders in the remote elementary school is significantly lower than that of high graders. 2. The school identity of middle graders in the remote elementary school is significantly lower than that of high graders. 3. The life adaptation of middle graders in the remote elementary school is significantly lower than that of high graders. 4. The differences between high graders’ self-concepts and teachers’ cognition are significantly higher than that between middle graders’ self-concepts and teachers’ cognition. 5. The school identity of middle and high graders in the remote elementary school showed significantly positively correlated with self-concepts. 6. The life adaptation of middle and high graders in the remote elementary school is significantly positively correlated with self-concepts.

This study is to discuss the causes and levels of effects of stress on elementary school administrators and further compares the background variables of how teachers in remote areas evaluate stress-causing factors and how the prospective differs from others. The findings of this study are as following: 1. Among all the stress-causing factors in elementary administrative teachers,teachers in remote areas have relatively high perception of the value ofoperating load, enjoyment of work, competency, and role conflict. 2. High perception of stress causers are relatively recognized amongst the following five facets: (1)“An excess of amount of various evaluations, official visits. The excessive production of documents are time consuming and wasting. These factors make me feel pressured” (2)“I think administrative work should have sufficient time to be learned and adapted into.” (3)“I feel stressed when being evaluated or visited by higher ranking officials” (4)“It is often difficult to maintain a well-balanced social network when doing my own job.” (5)“To run different varieties of events in school are very time consuming. It influences the teaching portion of the job, which is quite annoying.” 3. High perception of stress causers are relatively recognized amongst the following five facets: (1)“An excess of amount of various evaluations, official visits. The excessive production of documents are time consuming and wasting. These factors make me feel pressured” (2)“I think administrative work should have sufficient time to be learned and adapted into.” (3)“Higher ranking officials often demand new tasks to be done immediately, which makes me feel stressed.” (4)“It is often difficult to maintain a well-balanced social network when doing my own job.” (5)“Being in the administrative position, I often encounter many unreasonable requests that I consider inappropriate.” 4. There are no significant differences between gender, education background, titles, administrative seniority and marital status regarding the perception of stress-causing factors. 5. Amongst teachers with different age and seniority, there is onlythe significant difference on the “interpersonal relationship” facet in perceiving stress-causing factors.

The Analysis of Chinese Word Remote Associates Test Among High School Students in Taiwan Abstract The purpose of this research is to develop the norm and to examine the reliability and validity of Chinese Word Remote Associates Test (CWRAT) among high school students in Taiwan. 1486 high school students were tested with two versions of the CWRAT and the results show that the test-retest reliability coefficients are .81 and .82 among high school students. The correlation between CWRAT and the Insight Problem Test was found (r = .36, .38, .31, .18). In addition, the result shows that CWRAT version two correlates with Risk-Taking and Complexity among senior high school students(r=.40, .42), whereas no correlations were found with the Williams Scale of Creative Tendency and the Revised Tests of Creative Thinking. The results also show CWRAT correlates with peer assessment(r=.25), academic performance(r=.30) and teacher assessment(r=.33). Female students and senior high school students score higher in both versions of CWRAT. In sum, the reliability and validity of CWRAT were partially supported.

A Study of Administration’s Organizational Restructuring For Taitung County’s Small Size Remote Junior High School ABSTRACT Following the nation’s political democratization, societal diversification and rapid economic liberalization, the education has indeed faced tremendous challenge and attacks; the government has actively pushed the ﹝organizational restructuring﹞policy. The role of education has continued to expand; the schools confront strong requests from various dimensions. ﹝Organizational Restructuring for School﹞has become an important discussion topic in educational reform. The study ,with a focus on the administrative organization of the small sized remote junior high schools in this county, has deliberately referred to the fundamental idea of ﹝Business Organizational Reengineering﹞and﹝Governmental Reengineering﹞for a way that the schools are able to continue sustainable operation through school administration’s organizational restructuring, thus, manifesting the educational results. The conclusions for this study are as follow: （1） Through ﹝School Administration’s Organizational Restructuring﹞,the reference of school’s organization structure is drafted to divide ﹝teaching﹞and﹝administration﹞. （2） Since small sized schools are constrained to the limited man power, the division of ﹝teaching﹞and﹝administration﹞is very difficult to be realized. （3） The teachers’ training institutions must exert stringent quality control in order to improve the teachers’ professional teaching capabilities. The on-the-job teachers shall be compelled to attend on-the-job study. （4） In order to solve the shortage of teachers, part-time substitute teachers can be appointed, the teachers from the neighboring schools can help in teaching, the teachers are appointed jointly with other schools for peripatetic teaching or additional teachers are hired. （5） The school administration organizational restructuring, in addition to the dissolution, merge or duties restructuring among the departments, divisions and groups, the requests of control quotas shall not be ignored. The following suggestions are provided based on the result of study: （1） Suggestions for the central government’s competent authority（The Ministry of Education）: （a） The related lows for education shall be revised promptly; the low shall be truly deregulated. When it is justifiable, the local educational authority and the city governments shall be granted the authorization to amend such laws. （b） The specialization and professionalism shall be promoted in administrative operations; the local government shall have authorization to establish laws to appoint relevant staffs. （c） The teacher training institutions, in accordance with the uniqueness of schools at a particular region, shall plan the strategies to supply adequate teachers for each field, hence, a guarantee to improve the quality of teaching. （2） Suggestions for the local government’s competent authority（Bureau of Education）: （a） The implementation of control quotas on the total of teachers and staffs for the whole county, the unreasonableness between the large and small sized schools in total teachers and staffs shall be balanced. （b） The incentive schemes shall be practicably established so that the teachers are willing to stay back and teach at the county’ small-sized remote junior high school. （c） Establish restriction on total students for large-sized school’s classes and thus will effectively stop the situation of studying outside school district. （3） Suggestions for school: （a） It is appropriate for the small-sized schools to establish ﹝strategic alliance, appoint teachers together﹞scheme. （b） In order that the teachers can concentrate on teaching, the school shall avoid requesting the teachers to do any matter that are irrelevant to teaching. （c） Establish conscientious and effective ﹝teaching evaluation﹞mechanism, the teachers who are excellent in teaching shall be rewarded whereas for those whose performance are poor, they shall be counseled for improvement or dismissed.

ABSTRACT In this qualitative case study, the researcher examined how semantic mapping helped participants to empower their vocabulary through reading visually and become better in writing. Findings were based on an experiment using Mind Walker activities for 11 weeks. The participants were three Taiwanese Elementary School students, 2 fifth grade female students and 1 sixth male student ranging in age from 10 years old to 12 years old. Mind Walker is a semantic mapping based reading tool with word cards and reading texts. It is assumed that Mind Walker can empower participants’ vocabulary knowledge first and later their independent reading and writing abilities. Mind Walker contains 247 semantic mapping picture-word cards with the chosen words from the 300 word list and some words from the 1,000 word list made by the Taiwanese Ministry of Education. The three different reading texts are one paragraph, a 100-300 word reading text, and a 300-500 word reading text. Making semantic maps, sharing the maps, and independent reading are included in this experiment. Pre- and post-tests were done before and after the experiment. The findings confirm that the participants’ internalized vocabulary knowledge affects their independent reading and writing.

Abstract Departing from the concern for multicultural education, this research aimed to investigate how those remedial program teachers, who have been taking teacher credential education, apply their own life experiences into understanding disadvantaged students residing in the rural area, the learning and limitation within and the progress of conscientization and development. This research has been conducted via an after-school remedial program located in a rural area of Eastern Taiwan. The data covered 8 participants, 18 interviews, 21 classroom observations and were analyzed qualitatively in order to find out how those teachers with different majors, who have been taking teacher credential education, describe their own remedial program experiences and apply both their previous experiences and current ones in terms of self-advancement to determining their relationships with the disadvantaged students in the rural area. The abovementioned qualitative analysis incorporated the ideas of ‘Stages’ from both Freire’s ‘Conscientization’ (Conscientização) and Lee, Shiue-Ling’s ‘Empowerment of Multicultural Consciousness for Elementary School Teachers’ and then proposed a modified version in terms of multicultural conscientization to analyze more comprehensively the directions and opportunities for those remedial program teachers, who have been taking teacher credential education, to development their multicultural consciousness. The findings of this research are: (1) alienating, assimilating, sympathizing and empathizing happened upon the remedial program teachers of which assimilating was the most common phenomenon, and (2) the sequential stages of the remedial program teachers’ multicultural conscientization were alienating, mainstream believer, sympathizing awareness of the disadvantaged and awareness of oppression; most of the teachers were mainstream believer but none reached the stage of critical consciousness. As far as those, who have been taking teacher credential education, are concerned, undergoing an actual remedial program is a crucial learning experience. In order for them to likely have their multicultural conscientization transformed, there should be ways for them to understand more about the actual environment and the disadvantageous situation of their students as well as to be aware of the relationship between those who oppress and those who are oppressed in terms of the interactive experiences between individuals so that they are able to provide both multicultural and critical perspectives. This research also gives suggestions to teacher credential education in terms of the possibility to broaden the viewpoints of multicultural education as well as to the empowerment for remedial program teachers in terms of their teaching practices.

The impact of low birth rate and the policy of closing and merger schools have caused the fact that elementary schools located in remote area have being reduced size, combined or shut down. From the traditional perspective, these small schools in remote area are lacking the strength of teaching resources. To face these predicaments, some principals with enthusiasm have been using the surrounding spaces and environmental resources to plan unique features for the school, to make own courses and multi-function classroom, therefore the boundaries between school and nearby community are getting tighter and tighter. These remote elementary schools with characteristic have not only increased the value of environmental education and travel learning, but also generate new advantages on themselves as the pioneer of environmental learning. In order to understand how these remote elementary schools use space resources to plan travel learning courses, this study uses on-site observation, participant the activities, interviews and questionnaires as references and use comprehensive analysis to discuss the similarities and differences between each schools to create a pattern of travel learning as a reference for other schools which have not develop travel learning courses yet in behalf of providing necessary resources to other schools. Important conclusions of this research are as follows: 1. Remote elementary schools should combine regional environment resources to develop new courses in order to increase learning advantages. 2. The school principal is the leader to support and develop travel learning. 3. The planning of space, environment and floor, and the design of relevant spaces could reduce the interference from travel learning courses to regular courses. 4. Remote elementary schools have to develop unique features to highlight their values to education. The content of travel learning could be applied from those unique features. 5. Travel learning course could be seen as a long-term subject by the cooperation between school teachers, people in the community and professionals. And also have the events at holidays could be helpful. 6. Travel learning could help to promote local characteristics and increase the attractiveness of the school. 7. Only a small amount of school principals and teachers are promoting travel learning. The government has not established a good guide line to assist yet. 8. Develop travel learning courses in remote elementary schools is a positive way to face the close and merger policy. To have sustainable implementation, it needs the support from local community and the cooperation of relevant software and hardware.

In recent years, the social economy in Taiwan has developed towards M-form, the gap between the rich and the poor and that between urban and rural area increased. The education in remote areas has received attention from the society. Therefore, the government established the “Development Statute for School Education in Remote Areas,” in which many articles focused on reducing teacher mobility. However, would it be better if teachers do not mobilize at all? This study provided an in-depth investigation on the current mobility faced by the elementary school teachers in the remote areas of Hualien County, including the issues arisen, their causes, and response strategies. The study adopted qualitative case study strategy to collect research data through in-depth interviews and document collections. Through the interviews with six elementary school teachers in remote areas, the issue of teacher mobility in Hualien County was thoroughly investigated. The study results were as followed: (1) Both teacher mobility and non-mobility had their own pros and cons; the keys lied in the professionalism and attitudes of teachers. (2) The problems derived from teacher mobility included the lack of sustainable teaching professon and administration, whereas the problems derived from non-mobility included teachers’ resistance to change and willingness to make progress. (3) The causes for the teacher mobility and non-mobility at the elementary schools in remote areas included policy and teachers’ personal factors; when formulating policies, the needs of teachers should be taken for consideration in order to increase their willingness to teach in remote areas. Finally, based on the research results, related suggestions for the government, schools, teachers and future study were provided for reference.

The purpose of this research was to explore the implementation of after-school childcare programs of an elementary school . By using qualitative research approach, the methods involved in this case study included literature review, document analysis, observation and semi-constructed interview with teachers, parents and students. This research focused on these aspects, the after-school childcare model in the participant school, the contents of after-school childcare programs, sources of teachers and their advanced education, and satisfaction with after-school childcare programs. Based on literature review and data analysis, several concluding marks were obtained as follows. 1. The after-school childcare model in the participant school was “school-centered”. After-school childcare programs were under the aegis of the participant school, and assisted by P.W.R. Foundation. The process of the participant school in cooperation with P.W.R. Foundation was smooth. The problems of caring schoolchildren were solved because of after-school childcare programs. But there were some problems of holding after-school childcare programs, including short and unstable funds, teachers’ annoyances about different-graded students in the same class, the absence of professional teachers on account of location in remote area, a lack of specialized fields for after-school childcare programs. 2. The contents of after-school childcare programs included homework-guidance for primary and other activities for secondary. All of the school teachers, parents and students of the participant school were satisfied with parts of the contents. But the entire programs were not designed wholly and systematically. This research had also detected the links between different topics seemed weak. 3. Because of the remote location of the participant school and the poor attraction of payments for teachers, it was hard to hire teachers to teach after-school childcare programs. Current teachers teaching after-school childcare programs felt difficult to engage in advanced education because of four factors, such as a long time of advanced education, a far distance to places of advanced education, difficulties to activate classes of advanced education away from towns, unstable policies about managing after-school childcare classes. The relationships of after-school childcare teachers with schoolteachers and students were smooth, but they did not know parents much. The interaction between after-school childcare teachers and P.W.R. Foundation was different on account of different teachers. 4. The parents having children to participate in after-school childcare programs felt satisfied, and the students participating in after-school childcare programs felt more enjoyable than dislikable. The students generally presented they enjoyed active programs, such as English, life DIY and physical activities by the numbers, but disliked studies review and quiet activities in classrooms by the numbers. Finally, according to this research, several suggestions were made to the participant school, administrators, the contents of after-school childcare programs and future researches.
