Korea is undergoing a rapid transformation into a multiethnic society because of the influx of migrants (Kim, 2008; Han, 2007). In response, efforts to adopt multiculturalism gathered by the Korean government, and the field of education has not been an exception. (Lee & Kim, 2012; Chung 2012). While many efforts have been made to integrate multiculturalism into education, multicultural dance education programs at undergraduate institutions are non-existent or underdeveloped. This study proposes a multicultural dance education program to be considered for implementation as a required course for dance education students at undergraduate institutions in the near future. “Multicultural” in Korea has several meanings: 1) multi-race 2) minority culture 3) diverse (Ahn 2012). In this study, I use the term, a “multicultural” to refer to multiethnic people who migrated to Korea. The term “multicultural students” was used in this study to describe students who are immigrants or children of immigrants from the following groups: 1) migrant workers 2) marriage-based migrants, 3) ethnic Chinese, and 4) North Korean defectors. The purpose of the study is to develop a university dance education program that reflects the increasing diversity of the Korean population and should be a required course for education students. My intention in designing this curriculum is to help future dance teachers to be culturally and ethnically responsive to the student population in their classes. Specifically, my research explores the following questions: What aspects need to be included in a dance education curriculum so that it reflects the increasingly diverse population in Korean education? This research question is addressed through the following sub-questions: How has Korean dance education developed historically from 1945 to 2015? What are some of the social, cultural, and educational factors that inform the development of a multicultural dance curriculum in dance education? What are some of the core concepts and values that need to be embedded in dance pedagogy that reflect both traditional Korean aesthetic values and the value systems of diverse migrant and ethnic minority populations? This dissertation is a qualitative research that examines how university undergraduate dance education programs in Korea can reflect the increasing diversity of the student population in their curricula. This study employs two methods: questionnaires for dance teachers in school settings and semi-structured interviews with key persons in Korean dance education and Korean multicultural education. In addition, this study outlines historical context of dance education in Korea from 1945 to 2016, focusing on major events, key persons, and influential institutions and organizations and give overview of current and recent Korean government legislation and policy documents alongside multicultural movements that have influenced dance education in Korea. Some of the themes that emerged from the questionnaires include: Learning Attitudes of Multicultural Students, Facing Linguistic Challenges, Dance as a Medium of Communication, Communication through In-depth Discussion and Understanding, Integrated Ways of Teaching, and Finding Commonalities between Cultures. In addition, the themes that emerged throughout the interviews are Education through ‘Hŭng,’ Teaching Korean Dance in a Global Context, The Importance of the Teacher’s Role as a Cultural Facilitator, and Multicultural Curriculum as Awareness Education for All. All of these findings give insight toward developing a multicultural dance education course to foster students’ understanding of Korean aesthetical values and concepts within traditional dance, especially among multicultural students. Throughout this study, I developed a multicultural dance education course for undergraduate dance students based on three components: Bennett’s multicultural education theory, findings from questionnaires and interviews, and two major Korean dance standards: the 2015 Revised Korean National Curriculum of Physical Education and the 2014 Development of Teaching-Learning Plan of Culture and Arts Education (Dance). The goals of this proposed course were developed based on Bennett’s six goals and this course will incorporate dance studies and dance movement every week with readings, writings, and discussion. This sequence of class is based on strategies such as “in-depth communication”, “beyond dance technique”, “finding commonalities between cultures”, and “through ‘Hung’” which come from my questionnaire and interview findings. / Dance

The purpose of this study was to identify disparities in the delivery of standards based dance education in the K-12 learning environment in the state of Florida and to give specific attention to curricular choices and instructional design. A mixed-methods approach was used and included a survey of K-12 dance educators in Florida as well as interviews with leaders in dance and arts education in the state. This inquiry identified common areas where curriculum choice and instructional design meet the barriers of time, space, place, learner population, expected educational outcomes, and teacher preparation. Each of these areas suggested specific limitations singularly, but when considered together, the effectiveness of K-12 dance programs appeared compromised by disparity and difficult to assess. By centralizing the focus of this inquiry on the realities of the learning environment in K-12 dance education in the state of Florida, the results of this study identified disparities in one state that may inform future research in the broader field of dance education. A set of Core Dance Education Values has been recommended as a guideline to better unify dance teaching goals in light of the research and in support of developing best practices for sustainable K-12 dance programming. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

This thesis investigates conditions from an aesthetic and ethical viewpoint under which an artistic expression such as dance can exist in the realm of general education. In the thesis dance and education are regarded as acts of transgression and change. Efforts are made to define spaces where the acts of dancing and education take place and to enquire whether dance and pedagogy can share such space gainfully. The focus of the study is on dance in its own right, as an artistic mode of knowledge and expression, and as a manner of being with others. Dancing in teaching and curriculum learning activities is left outside the scope of this study. Research questions are asked about the essence and distinctive character of dance, its possibilities to bring about experiences of aesthetic and ethical nature and to provide a space in education for people to come together, dance and be with each other while finding knowledge and meaning in doing so. Questions are asked to the learner, i.e. the child, the pupil, the student, in this inquiry to two groups of students in teachers’ education, to describe their encounters with dance in a designed experiment. The accounts are analysed from an aesthetic and ethical angle and conclusions are drawn with implications for pedagogy and the educator. The theoretical framework to the study is informed by John Dewey’s and Maxine Greene’s thinking on arts and experience and on aesthetic education and literacy, in dialogue with Gert Biesta’s post-structural thinking on education and subjectivity, as well as the stances of Merce Cunningham and other creators in postmodern and contemporary dance. The empirical study consists of a field study at a teacher education program at Södertörn University. Data were collected, transcripts from two student group conversations concluding a series of instructional seminars in creative dance within a freestanding course on children’s existential questions. Methodologically, discourse analysis with Wetherell and Potter’s analytic tool interpretative repertoire were applied. The results of the study, analysed in accordance with the method, indicate that the participants through their utterances, making use of a variety of linguistic tools and metaphors, constructed meaning in their experiences of dancing primarily in terms of relational actions. Spaces were created in which these actions unfolded, characterised by presence, concentration, togetherness, speechless communication, proximity, trust, consideration, receptiveness and intensified perception. Creating dance appeared to be experienced in Dewey’s sense of aesthetic experience, and the relations described could be understood as ethical in line with Arendt’s and Levina’s philosophical thinking applied to education, fundamental in Biesta’s and Greene’s visions of education as a space for new beginnings and possible change. Resistance was experienced and dealt with in a range of manners and strategies. The creative aspect of dancing was experienced with great affect and an awareness of an intersubjective and disjunctive space of action. Conclusions of aesthetic and ethic nature may suggest that conditions can be provided to have people come together in an educational setting and dance and appear in front of one another, when consideration is taken to both the specific demands of dance and pedagogy as art expression and transgressing discipline, entailing the need of a clear and conscious design for the activities and the pedagogue’s readiness to guide the children and young to explore their individual dance expression, emotions and lived experiences.  Further implications and issues for continued research are to which extend dance as free expression can be maintained and granted a space in education when addressing specific urging social and ethical issues of coexistence and plurality in a rapidly changing global world, how academic and artistic research can cross-fertilise each other, how practical professional artistic and pedagogical knowledge and theory can inform one another, and to further investigate adequate research methods, designed experiments and appropriate linguistic means for research in the intersection of arts and science, dance and pedagogy.

In Search of the Deep Politic: Light/The Holocaust and Humanity Project, an Arts, Education and Civic Partnership, explores the enactment of public scholarship through embedded case study methodology. Charting the author's experience of seeking deep political action, this case demonstrates the ways in which transdisciplinary partnerships create liminal spaces that open possibilities for pedagogic and social change. The study outlines the enactment of an arts, education and civic partnership occurring inAustin, Texas in 2005 centered in a community-based study of the Holocaust. The study seeks answers to the following questions: (a) How did community leaders envision and enact the community-based partnership Light/The Holocaust and Humanity Project?; (b) In what ways, if any, were the artistic, education and civic events amplified through the collaborative partnership Light/The Holocaust and Humanity Project?; and (c) What pedagogical possibilities occur for audiences experiencing the dance work Light/The Holocaust and Humanity Project? The case demonstrates the possibilities for expanding educational impact through a community integration process, characterized by the alignment of school-based and community-based learning activities located outside traditional educational spaces using a transdisciplinary approach that combines multiple forms of representation. The embedded case of the dance reveals pedagogical possibilities for Holocaust education made possible through the dance, Light/The Holocaust and Humanity Project. While limitations of the form inhibit the conveyance of dense historical content, it opens possibility for exploration of dense emotional content. A close examination of the construction of the dance provides an entry point for students into important conversations about the history and representation of the Holocaust. The case study demonstrates the ways in which the Light Project engaged civic capacities through expanded participation, enhanced public awareness, and enhanced capacity for convening civic dialogue and contributions to public discourse. This study describes the ways in which resonance, assurances and the catalyzing forces of leaders support the effective implementation of partnerships.

As a cut-off from this object, we worked with the following research problem: what position does Dance take in the curricular proposals of the degree courses in Physical Education of the City of São Paulo and of some of these courses in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo and What objectives and contents have been worked on in this curricular component with a view to the training of Dance teachers for Basic Education? As a result of this problem, some questions were raised and served as a guide in the search and analysis of the data. They were: How to understand Dance and its relationship with education? How is Dance seen in Brazilian official documents as a curricular content in Basic Education? With what objectives and contents does this curricular component work in the courses identified? Can the objectives and contents of Dance as a discipline mentioned in these courses respond to or correspond to what is considered desirable in the researched literature and in the indications of the official Brazilian legislation in relation to it? The initial hypothesis was that, in very few Physical Education Degree Courses, the presence of Dance as a discipline would be found and that, in these few courses, the offer of the discipline would be far from the legal guidelines and related academic production. The objective was to verify the level of presence of the offer of Dance in the Physical Education Degree Courses of the Institutions of Higher Education of the City of São Paulo and information about the contents worked in this discipline and if these contents were in tune with the orientations And with at least part of the bibliography of the area. We developed bibliographical, documentary and field research. The hypothesis that, in very few Physical Education Degree Courses, the presence of Dance as a discipline would be found and that, in these courses, the offer of the discipline would be far from the legal guidelines and the academic production related to it, was not confirmed. It was, of course, a welcome non-confirmation, despite the small number of HEIs surveyed. We believe that we have achieved satisfactorily the proposed objectives. / Cette thèse résulte du projet de recherche qui a eu comme objet la composante de Danse présente dans les propositions de programmes de cours de Diplôme en Éducation Physique et l'identification des objectifs et des contenus qui ont été travaillées dans ce volet curriculaire en vue de la formation du Maître d'Éducation Physique en ce qui concerne sa préparation à la performance avec le contenu de la Danse dans l'éducation de base. Pour couper cet objet, on a travaillé avec le problème de la recherche suivante: quelle est la présence de la composante de la Danse dans les propositions de programmes de cours de diplôme en éducation physique de la ville de São Paulo et certains de ces cours dans la région métropolitaine de São Paulo et dont les objectifs et le contenu ont été travaillé dans ce volet de programme destiné aux enseignants de formation (comme) la danse pour l'éducation de base? En conséquence de ce problème, des questions ont été soulevées et qui ont servies de guide dans l'analyse de la recherche et des données. Ells étaient: Comment comprendre la Danse et sa relation avec l'éducation? Comment afficher la Danse, les documents officiels brésiliens tels que le contenu des programmes dans l'éducation de base? Avec quels objectifs et le contenu de cette composante éducative travaille dans les cours identifiés? Les objectifs et le contenu des cours de Danse, mentionné dans ces cours, peut répondre ou correspondre à ce qui est considéré comme souhaitable dans la littérature et des directives des règlements officiels du Brésil concernant les mêmes? L'hypothèse de départ était que on trouverait très peu de cours de diplôme en éducation physique avec la présence de la discipline de la Danse et que, dans ces quelques cours, l'offre de la discipline serait bien loin des directives juridiques et la recherche universitaire qui s'y rapportent. Comme objectifs on a cherché à voir le degré de représentation de la discipline de la danse dans des cours de diplôme en Éducation Physique des établissements d'enseignement supérieur de la ville de São Paulo et des informations sur le contenu travaillé dans cette discipline et ces contenus sont en phase avec les directives juridiques et au moins une partie de la littérature. On a fait une recherche bibliographique, documentaire et sur le terrain. L'hypothèse, pas confirmée, était que dans très peu de cours de diplôme en Éducation Physique on trouverait la présence de la discipline de la Danse et que dans ces cours, l'offre de la discipline serait bien loin des directives juridiques et la recherche universitaire concernant. Il était certainement pas une confirmation agréable, malgré le petit nombre d'IES interrogés. Nous pensons que nous avons atteint les objectifs de manière satisfaisante. / Esta tesis resultó del proyecto de investigación que tuvo como objeto la presencia del componente Danza en las propuestas curriculares de los cursos de Licenciatura en Educación Física y la identificación de los objetivos y contenidos que se han trabajado en este componente curricular con vistas a la formación del Profesor (a) de Educación Física relativa a su preparación para la actuación con los contenidos de Danza en la Educación Básica.

Como desdoblamiento de este problema, algunas cuestiones fueron planteadas y que sirvieron como guía en la búsqueda y el análisis de los datos. Fueron ellas: ¿Cómo entender la Danza y su relación con la educación? ¿Cómo es vista la Danza, en los documentos oficiales brasileños, como contenido curricular en la Educación Básica? ¿Con qué objetivos y contenidos este componente curricular se trabaja en los cursos identificados? Los objetivos y contenidos de la disciplina Danza, mencionados en estos cursos, pueden responder o corresponder a lo que es considerado deseable en la literatura investigada y en las indicaciones de la legislación oficial brasileña con relación a la misma? La hipótesis inicial era que en muy pocos Cursos de Licenciatura en Educación Física se encontraría la presencia de la disciplina Danza y que en esos pocos cursos la oferta de la disciplina estaría muy lejos de las orientaciones legales y de la producción académica a ella relativa. Como objetivos se buscó constatar el nivel de presencia de la oferta de la disciplina Danza en los Cursos de Licenciatura en Educación Física de las Instituciones de Enseñanza Superior de la Ciudad de São Paulo e informaciones acerca de los contenidos trabajados en esta disciplina y si estos contenidos estaban afinados con las orientaciones Legales al respecto y con, al menos, parte de la bibliografía del área. Se desarrolló una investigación bibliográfica, documental y de campo. La hipótesis de que en muy pocos Cursos de Licenciatura en Educación Física se encontraría la presencia de la disciplina Danza y que en esos cursos la oferta de la disciplina estaría muy alejada de las orientaciones legales y de la producción académica a ella relativa, no fue confirmada.
