Null Curriculum in Institute of Education: Perspectives of the Graduate Student

Chenyu Cai

Abstract


The present study adopts a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both questionnaire surveys and focus group interviews to explore the
perspectives of graduate students within Chinese Taiwans Institute of Education regarding the null curriculum. This research aims to identify
significant but overlooked elements within the curriculum. The results underscore the students recognition of essential yet absent components,
highlighting the necessity for experiential and action-oriented courses such as educational practice and field visits, foundational educational
methodologies, examination of challenges within the educational sphere, skill-oriented approaches, and anticipation of forthcoming educational trends. As a result, the implications of this study contribute to thought-provoking discussions within the field.
