描述: This study aimed to explore the learning experiences of elementary teacher education students, as well as their motivations and expectations for electing an integrated activities course. The participants included 84 elementary teacher education students who took the integrated activities course as an elective course between 2014 and 2016 in a national university located in South Taiwan. In order to provide information for teachers on planning and adjusting their teaching methods, and for the teacher education institution to schedule time slots for the integrated activities course, this study adopted a research self-developed questionnaire to survey participants' opinions about the teaching materials and methods of the integrated activities at the beginning and toward the end of the semester. Besides, supplementary information was obtained by interviewing 5 to 6 teacher education students each year. The results of this study showed that: (1) Motivations for taking the elective course stemmed from the learning experiences: (a) during middle school and primary school periods: since integrated activities courses were often marginalized and considered as secondary, the allotted classtimes were often replaced by other school activities, or used by teachers of major subjects to help students catch up, or to take examinations. Participants' learning experiences of integrated activities during these periods were vague and unfamiliar; (b) during the substitute teaching period: because of their lack of a thorough understanding of the curricular contents and their lack of teaching experiences, what the participants could do then was to simply read the textbooks word by word with a feeling of failing to have done a good job; (c) during the teacher education period: factors to be taken into consideration included schedule conflict, time pressure, potential for enriching their professional competence, recommendations from their professors, and career planning; (d) that the participants of this study considered this course to be important for teaching. (2) Expectations for taking the elective course: professional knowledge and skills to be gained from this course included: an understanding of the contents of integrated activities, proficiencies in preparing instructional plans, enhancing the teaching demonstration skills, strengthening the professional knowledge of teaching, on-site sharing and communicating of teaching experiences, and the basic course on cultivating morality and character.
