The Center for Textbook Development at National Academy for Educational Research (NAER) and the Department of Education at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) worked together on a research project entitled “Discourse and Praxis on Textbooks Construction for Peace Education” in hopes of carrying out comprehensive study on issues related to discussions of relevant textbook content and peace education and engaging in extensive dialog and carrying out feasibility studies and develop peace education appropriate for the Taiwan context. For the research project, which commenced in 2010, peace education literature from Taiwan and around the world is being collected, organized, and peace education programs promoted abroad introduced into that in Taiwan and set up a peace education website specifically for this research project to serve as a platform for providing and exchanging information about the activity. Since 2011, classic peace education literature workshops, covering such topics as research, organization, and textbook analysis methods, have been held and relevant achievements are being compiled into a book for publication (currently expected to be published in October 2013). In order to realize innovative thinking in the design of Taiwanese teaching materials to understand the influence of different cultures and perspectives of various countries on textbooks, starting in 2012, we analyzed developed international peace education in continental Europe, Middle East and East Asia to understand how these regions employ cross-national history textbooks to work together to create experience to give an account of themselves and to better understand others, to resolve potential enmity, clashes, and conflict, and to consider the feasibility of cross-national cooperation in the writing of history textbooks and design curriculum and teaching materials in Taiwan that open up a new international perspective and drive new research in peace education in Taiwan.
