ABSTRACT

The training topics could be categorized under “status quo,” “priority management,” “gradual improvement,” and “exceeding achievement” areas. The researchers extracted key concepts such as practice, research, evidence, balance, and literacy from “research-based balanced literacy approach” and actuality, level of development, and initiative from “start with children.” Results of the interviews on the importance, comprehension, and application of the training topics revealed that both teacher leaders and teachers undergoing training agreed on the importance of each training topic. However, the comprehension and application of certain topics were low in both groups. This phenomenon demonstrates that teacher leaders’ level of comprehension and application of topics influences the training of teachers. On the basis of this analysis, the researchers proposed ways to improve the training program. First, ensuring the systematization of training topics and balance of programs is necessary to enable teachers to test their learning experiences and teaching methods and mold them to suit children’s requirement through practical reading and writing. Second, the capacity of teacher leaders should be strengthened to develop practical knowledge that can allow them to handle challenges flexibly and identify topics that are difficult to comprehend and apply within the context of the field. Third, a learning community of teacher leaders should be formed to cultivate collective, continuous, and practical research capabilities for continuous knowledge exchange beyond local education centers.
