Abstract
To improve the newly promulgated curriculum’s implementation, it is necessary to systematically conduct preparatory work, such as reviewing the curriculum’s features and implications and exploring curriculum implementation issues. Thus, this study examined what changes are intended in the 2022 revised “Reading” curriculum, what are the foreseen issues in the curriculum implementation, and what must be improved before it can be implemented in the field to fully realize the intended changes. Specifically, this study analyzed the features and implications of the 2022 revised “Reading” curriculum along three dimensions: What kind of readers does the reading curriculum intend students to become? How does the reading curriculum establish the scope and sequence of education contents? Issues of the 2022 revised “Reading” curriculum implementation were derived from four aspects: fostering “Agentic Readers,” developing the ability to read multimodal texts, practicing goal-oriented reading, and growing as a “Social Reader.” The study also discussed what elements should be supplemented concerning these four aspects.
