臺灣在特色學校推展政策已行之有年，也呈現出百花齊放的局面。但大陸的特色小學是否也有相似發展背景？由於距離與資料取得的限制，臺灣尚無大陸特色學校發展的相關研究，本研究旨在透過文獻探討與實地訪談，探究大陸特色小學的發展，以作為兩岸發展特色學校之參考與借鏡。
本研究以武漢市五所重點特色小學為例進行實地訪談。研究結果顯示大陸特色小學現況如下：在理念分析方面：1.兼重全球思維與在地行動。2.因應社會變遷的教改行動。3.未來仍待升學主義的考驗。4.強調啟發孩子的多元智能。在實況分析方面：1.基於中央要求、法令明定而發展。2.大陸特色學校發展呈現多元的特色。3.校本管理待落實、社區經費支援少。4.校長是關鍵人物，創新經營待加強。在特色小學發展策略評析方面：1.課程待持續深化、學習尚待優化多元化。2.經營策略待明確化、行銷策略待全面化。3.觀念待創化活化、社區資源待活化轉化。4.特色創新待加強、專業社群待強化。5.重視學科學習、培養學生多元學習能力。最後，本研究提出三項結論與四項相關建議，供教育主管機關、學校領導者及教師參考。\"
