“…According to McAteer (2013) action research is built on the premise of identifying an issue in one's teaching practice and exploring ways to address this issue through a self-reflexive process involving a series of iterative cycles. Giguere (2015) states that action researchers engage in a 'cycle of observation, questioning, data gathering, analysis, and action planning that results in a new observation which will then be questioned' (18). The action research took place over a series of eleven weekly technique classes, which were attached to a first year module called Dance Practices One (DP1).…”

This article presents the findings from a focus group discussion conducted with first year undergraduate dance students in March 2015. The focus group concluded a cycle of action research during which the researcher explored the use of enquirybased learning approaches to teaching dance technique in higher education. Grounded in transformative and constructivist learning perspectives, such approaches attempted to develop students' reflective thinking skills, with a view to enabling them to become active agents of their learning in dance technique. The focus group aimed to explore students' responses to the teaching approaches used. The author examines the data by drawing on Bourdieu's (1977) concept of 'doxa' to discuss how perceptions and expectations of dance technique may be constructed, both on the part of the students and the teacher. The notion of doxa is used as a lens to reflect on some of the challenges around attempting to deconstruct such expectations.

Abstract:Aim: This study analyzes the methodology used by some dance teachers at primary school level and their beliefs about dance teaching. Problem Statement: Considering the lack of research on this topic and the secondary role that dance continues to have in the educational system in many countries, this paper offers an interesting contribution in order to develop new perspectives in terms of dance education. Since there is an absence of specific curricula in dance education, Physical Education teachers employ traditional methods. Methods: Six specialized Physical Education teachers and 84 Primary School students participated in this research. As sources of data, we used triangulation through quantitative methodology tools such as Système Observation de l'èlève de l'Univesité de Liège (OBEL/ULg) and Planned Activity Check (PLACHECK), as well as semi-structured interviews for qualitative methodology, which were performed using inductive methods. The results and conclusions are: 1) High practice period for motor goals (58.99%); 2) High and correct student implication (91.23%); 3) Goals focused on physical and motor improvement (body schema, rhythm and coordination); and, 4) Use of traditional methodologies even though a contemporary approach is preferred. Finally, we consider that more comprehensive training in dance education is necessary in order to achieve and put into practice the objectives that teachers consider appropriate to develop in schools.

“…Giguere's research entitled "Dancing thoughts: an examination of children's cognition and creative process in dance" proves that dance influences children's cognitive development. The process of creating dance in groups can develop children's cognitive abilities maximally (Giguere, 2015). Cognitive ability can be seen from its ability to combine concepts (generative processes), and till they dare to try to find new concepts (exploratory processes).…”

This study aims to analyze the creativity of children (dancers) in the Geculan Bocah dance performance and how the performance becomes a space to arouse creativity. The case study in this research was the phenomenon of the Geculan Bocah dance performance in Sanggar Tanuwiyoyo Semarang Regency. The method used is a qualitative research method through a phenomenological approach. Data collection was done by using the method of observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis test used the Miles and Hubberman model through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity used triangulation of sources, techniques, and methods. The results showed that Geculan Bocah dance performance consisted of 3 parts, namely the beginning, middle (core) and final (ending). Each part of the performance requires the creative role of the child as a dancer. Children’s creative roles include individual creativity, collaborative creativity, and communal creativity. Individual creativity attempts every child to show good performance. Collaborative creativity can be seen in the cohesiveness and togetherness during the show. The communal creativity arises because it is influenced by the audience and the atmosphere of the performance. The Geculan Bocah dance performance is a creative product, a creative space/ process, and a driver for the development of children’s creativity.
