Action Research on team teaching style and workload for elementary school teachers

The study aims to release how to make the researchers willingly to devote their efforts to teaching continuously. On one hand, the teaching qualities will be enhanced. on the other hand, the mental and physical fatigue will be reduced.
In order to achieve the objectives of this study, the study adopts action-research and on the theory of team teaching finds out what degree of the workload of every team-teaching style. The distinction of the study is that team teaching in formal and nonformal curriculum, and implementation of five styles of team-teaching after six-years period. These participants are spontaneous, they are also the subjects in research.
On the basis of the observation , the questionnaire, analysis of the teaching miscellanies and reflection. The study is vertufied and received the feedback. Then it becomes the basis for next action.
¡]1¡^Exchange teachers team-teaching
The difficulty of implementation is the minimum, beacause the workload of teaching preparation can be reduced. But the feelings of workload is increasing
¡]2¡^Dynamic team-teaching
It is moderately difficult to implement. The workload of teachers can be reduced to higher degree. But it is fatally flawed in parents¡¦ questioning.
¡]3¡^Group team-teaching
It is moderately difficult to implement, too. Athough it is not the best model to reduce the workload, it still can ease the workload to a degree.
¡]4¡^Single-core team-teaching
It is more difficult to implement. It can reduce the workload somehow, but in terms of teaching preparation alone, it almost makes no differences between before and after. So the feelings of workload did not significantly change.
¡]5¡^Multi-core team-teaching
Overall it is the most difficult to implement for a long time. It also can reduce the workload, especially the researchers ,but multi-core membership is fragile.
¡]6¡^ The impact on these five team-teaching styles of teaching workload is different. Multi-core team-teaching meet the researchers¡¦ requirements mostly, but Group tem-teaching is much more advantageous to implement in the real environment.
