A Study of the Outdoor Static Campus Symbols：Taking an Elementary School as Example in Chiayi City

The campus is full of many different kinds of meaningful outdoor static symbols which convey different educational connotations directly or indirectly. For all the faculty members, especially the students, those symbols are part of the implicit curriculum with certain educational functions. The main researcher is interested in the abundant campus symbols in Ta-Tung Elementary School, so the purpose of the research is to explore the outdoor static campus symbols and the connotations they convey. Qualitative research method is applied in the research and a semi-structured interview method is used to interview an art teacher and fifteen Ta-Tung Elementary School students to find out how much they understand the connotations of the outdoor static campus symbols. After a logical research procedure, the outdoor static campus symbols can be divided into four types, basic, traditional, grateful and artistic types. Finally, the researchers find out that there are indeed a variety of outdoor static campus symbols which are part of the implicit curriculum in Ta-Tung Elementary School with rich cultural characteristics and deep educational connotations. Furthermore, they also evolve with time to develop more modern styles. In addition, the researchers have come up with some suggestions for Ta-Tung Elementary School as well as other elementary schools, the education division of the local government and future studies regarding similar topics.
