ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this research is to probe the teacher education system of dancing teachers for junior high school for the gifted students in dance class and the related problems. This is done by questionnaires survey and documentary analysis, and the survey aims at the present dancing teachers around the country. Totally there were 58 copies of questionnaires collected. The data is analyzed by statistics methods such as frequencies distribution, percentage, Chi-square. Major findings were as follows:
1. Most junior high school dancing teachers are female, and they are about 31-40 years of age. Most of them graduated from the Dance Department of colleges, and have been teaching dancing less than 5 years. More than 67.2% are substitute teachers or part- time teachers. Moreover, among them, 87.2% didn¡¦t acquire qualified certificates.
2.All the qualified junior high school dancing teachers had taken specialized dance courses, special education courses or credits in this country. They officially acquired certificates in these three courses or credits.
3.There are not many substitute junior high school dancing teachers. Five of them had taken specialized courses, special education courses, education courses or credits, but only two acquired certificates of qualified teachers.
4.The percentage of part-time dance teachers is as high as 58.6%. Among them, 97.1% had taken specialized dance courses, 26.5% had taken education courses, 20.6% had taken special education courses, but only 11.8% had acquired certificates of qualified dancing teachers
5.Although 58.6% of surveyed junior high school dancing teachers are for the opinion that to be a qualified junior high school teacher, one has to take at least 40 special education courses, still 41.4% are against it. What¡¦s more, as many as 80% of substitute teachers are against it.
6.To be a qualified junior high school dancing teachers, one should not only have specialized capacity, but also take special education courses or education courses or credits, but the education authorities did not offer chances for these in-service education and training. Therefore, as many as 93.1% of junior high school teachers think that there are few chance for in-service education & training, and this is really not the basic spirits of the teacher education, which means to be diverse. No matter what in-service education with an academic degree (bachelors, doctors) or not, more than 80% of junior high school teachers are for the education & training.
7. 72.4 % of junior high school dancing teachers think that the supply/demand-balance is not yet achieved. Also 41.4% of teachers think that the system of practice teaching for the cultivation of dancing teachers is not mature yet.
8.The institutionalization of dance class in junior high schools and elementary schools has lasted for 20 years. Because the cultivation of dancing teachers had not been systemized, and the qualification of dancing teachers is demanding, 63.8% of teachers think that the ¡§cultivation¡¨ and ¡§employment¡¨ of secondary school dancing teachers don¡¦t match each other.
9.The executive team for special education in the Ministry of Education is small with few members. It is really difficult for them to handle all the details of all kinds of special education countrywide. Hence, as many as 98.3% of secondary school dancing teachers think that the establishment of cultivation organization of dancing teachers is urgent.
10.The teachers of teaching cultivation organization are rather important. Universities or colleges with the Department of Dance have sufficient equipments, teachers, and the quality of teaching is recognized. About more than 70% of junior high school dancing teachers are for or positively for it.
