The purpose of this study is to examine what motivates adult pupils to participate evening dance classes at School of Dance and Circus. In addition to this, the purpose is to find out if their motivation is more intrinsic or extrinsic. Furthermore, the study aims towards investigating how dance pedagogues can develop their teaching with this specific target group to support the pupil’s interests and desires. The questionnaires of one evening dance course consisting of 11 pupils are analysed with Grounded Theory. The results show that there are 15 motivational factors: Joy, Development in dance, Physical development, Promotion of mental well-being, Other activity and Other form of training, Price, Curiosity, Cognitive development, Challenge, Aesthetics, Different experience of dance class, Social interaction, Prevention of pain and Prevention of injuries. The first six ones can be summarized as Self-fulfilment that work as the basis for the theory of the study. It is also shown that the motivation of the target group is more intrinsic than extrinsic. Promotion of experience of flow and creativity, preference of using mastery goal structures and teaching with direct instructions enforce intrinsic motivation and serve pupils’ interests and desires. These are suggested to dance pedagogues to use for developing their teaching with this target group.

x, 83 p. : col. ill. / A growing body of research documents the benefits of learning in and through the arts, from academic achievement to personal efficacy. Federal law recognizes the arts as a core subject area for K-12 public schools, and Oregon content standards articulate sequential expectations of what all students should know and be able to do in the disciplines of music, theater, dance, and visual arts. Despite these statutory commitments, little is known about the actual condition of arts education in Oregon public schools. This study mines existing data from the Oregon Department of Education to: 1) establish baseline measures of access to arts education during the 2009-2010 academic year; and 2) identify relationships between access and other school characteristics such as geographic location, school type, and Title I designation. This study's findings hold significant implications for state policy, and its unique methodology can inform the wider field of arts education policy research. / Committee in charge: Dr. Jean Stockard, Chair; Dr. Terri Ward, Member; Dr. Lori Hager, Member

Esta teoria veio popularizar, nesta época, o conhecimento e reconhecimento de processos psicológicos inconscientes que norteiam a vida humana. Assim, utilizou-se nas práxis de nove dos dez instrumentos elaborados para a aplicação desta teoria como forma de descobrir-se bloqueios ou entraves psicológicos que impedem o dançarino, alunos do 3º Grau da Universidade Federal da Bahia, de seguirem um caminho otimizado na busca do conhecimento da profissão escolhida. Este estudo foi elaborado sob a coordenação da autora, de psicoterapeutas que cooperaram direta ou indiretamente no processo de conhecimento da Teoria, de uma Professora e Funcionária da Escola e de um grupo de alunos que se dispuseram a ajudar e a experimentar essa teoria que nos leva a descobrir comportamentos arraigados que bloqueiam o corpo que dança. Tendo trabalhado com esta Teoria e estudando-a através de cursos específicos na Clínica Bio’s e de seminários, particularmente por 4 anos consecutivos, a autora criou, com este grupo de pessoas, este experimento. / ABSTRACT This look into Art Education, specifically into Dance Education, relates to the praxis in teaching dance by the author carried out since she was 15 years old, and to studies in humanistic psychology developed by Eric Berne during the second world war that culminated in the systematic development of the theory of Transactional Analysis (TA). This theory came to popularize at that time the knowledge and recognition of unconscious psychological processes that guide human life. With university students of the Federal University of Bahia, we used the praxis of nine of the ten tools designed for the application of this theory as a way to discover if blockages or psychological barriers were interfering the dancer's capacity to follow an optimized path in the search for knowledge in their chosen profession. This study was prepared under the coordination of the author, with other psychotherapists, a teacher and a technician of the Dance School and a group of students who were willing to help and to experiment with this theory, in the attempt to discover ingrained behaviors that block the dancing body. The author created this study and experiment in conjunction with studies in courses at Bio’s Clinic and in seminars of TA for four consecutive years.

A experiência iniciada na escola pública estadual, no quadro do projeto Escola da Família, é dirigida pelo trabalho voluntário de duas mulheres, uma bailarina e sua mãe. O estudo parte das narrativas orais - produzidas pelas voluntárias professoras de dança e pelas famílias das crianças envolvidas - para compreender as possibilidades de atribuição de sentidos próprios a uma atividade tradicional e portadora de prestígio e reconhecimento. Interpreta o lugar reservado para as oficinas de balé em relação ao movimento dos moradores do bairro nos embates com a cidade, com os poderes públicos e com a imprensa. O local onde as oficinas são realizadas, a Vila Estação, está em luta com o poder público pelo reconhecimento como espaço oficial. Este espaço/lugar mostrou-se um acontecimento que resulta das articulações e das desarticulações entre as multiplicidades simultâneas que nele coexistem. O que o estudo apreende no encontro do trabalho voluntário com as lutas políticas do bairro/favela são expressões da complexidade da cultura contemporânea nesta tensão/distensão emaranhada de diferenças e semelhanças, disputas e alianças. A construção do reconhecimento de um bairro e a formação de identidade pessoal, de uma persona meticulosamente elaborada, são projetos que se entrecruzam na história tratada nesta dissertação. / Abstract: This work studies an experience of classic dance education for children of a quarter/slum quarter of the city of Mogi das Cruzes. The experience initiated in the state public school, in the Escola da Família project, is directed by the voluntary work of two women, a dancer and her mother. The study it has left of the verbal narratives - produced for the voluntary teachers of dance and the families of the involved children - to understand the possibilities of attribution of precise meanings to a traditional and carrying activity of prestige and recognition. It interprets the place reserved for the workshops of ballet in relation to the movement of the inhabitants of the quarter in them strike with the city for recognition. The place where the workshops are carried through, the Vila Estação, is in fight with the public power for the recognition as official space. This space/place revealed an event that results of the joints and of the disarticulations between the simultaneous multiplicities that in it coexist. What the study it apprehends in the meeting of the voluntary work with the fights politics of the quarter/slum quarter entangled distention of differences and similarities are expressions of the complexity of the culture contemporary in this tension, disputes and alliances. The construction of the recognition of a quarter and the formation of personal identity, and the process about one persona meticulously elaborated, are projects that intercross the history treated in this dissertation. / Mestrado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Mestre em Educação

中學舞蹈班女學生的身體，在社會當中被認為是符合「美」的一群。為了達成演出的視覺效果，而被訓練出能靠著嚴格的飲食控制與身體訓練來維持身材的能力（靳晨瑄，2010）。本研究以質性研究的半結構式深度訪談採訪11名有過舞蹈班經驗的女學生，來了解中學舞蹈班中的身體規訓技術，以及舞蹈班女學生如何自我規訓。並從「舞者認同」和身體意象的角度，來探究舞蹈班女學生能持續自我規訓背後的動力。 本研究之研究發現如下：一、舞蹈班女學生對規訓並非全然接受，並以意識到自己的需求為前提，有著對抗規訓的策略；二、舞蹈班女學生可經由「舞者認同」的建立而形成自我規訓，進而塑造身體；三、因「舞者認同」受到舞蹈類型的偏好影響，而發展出多元的舞者認同。 / The girls in dance classes in Taiwan strictly conform to the social standard of beauty. Their bodies are ideal beauty according to society. In order to deliver the best visual performance, they would keep fit from strict diet control and body training (Jin Chenxuan, 2010). To find out how dance class follows body disciplinary method and how the girls in dance classes discipline themselves, semi-structured interviews were used when interviewing 11 experienced female dancers from dance classes. I would also like to figure out whether “dancer identities” and body images support them when they are trying to shape their bodies. Here are the findings: 1. The girls in dance classes may resist the body discipline in dance classes, because they are also aware of their own demand. 2. The girls in dance classes may build self-disciplinary and shape their body through the construction of “dancer identities”. 3. “Dancer identitiy” is influenced by various dance types, therefore we can conclude that “dancer identity” is diversified.

The aim of this study is to investigate how different approaches and methods for giving feedback can be articulated, problematized and discussed. Also, to produce a bigger knowledge about how feedback is used in a contemporary dance teaching context and to pay attention to feedback in dance teaching. The investigation is made by qualitative methods there three dance teachers have been interviewed and their answers were analyzed by disposing their answers in categories. The result of the study shows that teachers’ feedback can have different forms and their choices depends on several factors. Teachers’ intention is to not comment their pupils’ appearance and instead focus on dance-related aspects and use feedback consciously. The aim of teachers’ feedback is to develop and improve pupils’ dance practice and includes also problems and difficulties that can be encountered in the communication. However, the study contains and present how just a small part of dance teachers experience feedback and cannot be representative for the all dance teachers in one country or even institution.

The purpose of this essay is to inspire and find ways to incorporate different time signatures in jazz dance education. Through literature studies, a focus group and an own analysis leading up to the meeting with the focus group, I founded a base of knowledge, but also material to analyze. By comparing my different sources of information, I found that the different time signatures, have different qualities, but they are also affected by other factors such as the instruments, singing and how it is performed. During the meeting with the focus group, I also found that music and dance is personal and that feeling calm and secure with the music is important to be able to move freely to it. In the discussion I could see that there are a lot of ways that you can use different time signatures in jazz dance education. Some examples were to expand your musicality and musical knowledge, but also to highlight and use certain qualities in the different time signatures to develop your dynamic practice.

This study aims to examine how the phenomenon of connection in Swedish folkdance is experienced and formulated by dancers. Connection is a big part of all couple dances, yet not many have concrete descriptions of it. The empirical data comes from two practical workshops with a focus group in which the participants got to dance and then directly discuss or write down their thoughts. The analysis of the material, which consists of notes and recordings, results in five themes: physical touch and its role in connection, metaphors and inner pictures of connection, technical aspects to create connection, a biomechanical approach and dancing in relation to one’s dance partner. In addition to those themes, the study generates perspectives with which the topic can be studied further. The biomechanical perspective can help understand the logics and functions of a couple dance and the metaphorical perspective appeals to the intuitive part of learning. This study is performed in a Swedish folk dance context but might be relevant to other couple dances as well, both to see similarities and differences in how the topic of connection is taught and discussed in the respective contexts.

Denna vetenskapliga essä utforskar danslärares förhållande till kroppen, till smärta och fysiska förluster. Den diskuterar hur undervisningen påverkas och förändras på grund av skador och smärta. Undersökningen baseras dels på egna upplevelser, dels på intervjuer med danslärare med liknande erfarenheter. De teoretiska perspektiven hämtas främst från filosofer inom den fenomenologiska inriktningen, huvudsakligen Maurice Merleau-Ponty och andra som har tänkt i hans efterföljd och med utgångspunkt i hans teorier. Dessutom kommer texter av dansare och danslärare till tals när det gäller undervisning och förhållandet till kroppen som rörelse. För att komma närmare den mångbottnade smärtupplevelsen förs också en dialog med några verk inom bildkonst och litteratur. Resultatet visar att smärtupplevelsen är komplex och dubbeltydig för en danslärare. Vad gäller undervisningen kan det finnas sätt att arbeta med språk, med eleverna som centrum och med en justering av lärarrollen som gör att lärandet inte påverkas negativt utan tvärtom kan stärkas. Dock förefaller det finnas en gräns där de fysiska hindren blir så stora att det inte längre är möjligt att fortsätta undervisa. / This scientific essay explores dance teachers’ relation to the body, to pain and physical losses. It discusses how teaching is affected and how it changes because of injuries and pain. The research is based on personal experience as well as on interviews with dance teachers with similar experiences. The theoretical perspectives come first and foremost from philosophers of the phenomenological school, mainly from Maurice Merleau-Ponty and others who have thought and written with his theories as a starting point. Moreover, writings by dancers and dance teachers concerning teaching and the relation to the body as movement are used. To come closer to the multi-dimensional experience of pain, a dialogue takes place with some works of art and literature. The result shows that the dance teacher’s experience of pain is complex and ambiguous. Regarding teaching, there can be ways to work with language, the pupils as centres and an adjustment of the role of the teacher which can prevent learning from being negatively affected. However, there seems to be a limit where the physical barriers become so great that it is no longer possible to continue teaching.
