The Effect of Various Local Dances on Prospective Physical Education Teachers’ Attitudes towards the Folk Dance Course

Abstract

In this study, the effect of various local dances on prospective physical education teachers' attitudes towards the folk dance course was examined. The research was conducted by using an experimental design with pre-test/post-test control group. A total of 46 female students, which includes an experimental group consisting of 23 students attended the folk dance class and a control group consisting of 23 students did not attend the folk dance class, who are studying at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, School of Physical Education and Sports in the Department of Teaching in the spring term of the 2017-2018 academic year and who are aged 20 years, voluntarily participated in the study. In this research, the Folk Dance Course Attitude Scale for Prospective Physical Education Teachers developed by Turan (2015) was used. In the experimental group, the folk dances training program, which continues for 14 weeks with the program of 2 days of a week for 2 hours at each day, was conducted. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 22 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) package program. In the analysis of data, dependent sampling t-test was used for examining the differences between experimental and control groups. As a result of the research, it was observed that there was a significant difference in favor of students who took the folk dance training. This result shows that various local dances are effective in developing a positive attitude towards this course.

Application of Rotationally Symmetrical Triangulation Stereo Vision Sensor in National Dance Movement Detection and Recognition

“…Four prismatic reflectors optical system imaging is more complex; the upper and lower prism size, bevel angle, relative distance, and camera installation position directly affect the sensor field of view range, working distance, measurement accuracy, size, and other key indicators. The upper and lower prism size and bevel angle and the scope of the public field of view, shape, and measurement distance are closely related, and inappropriate parameter settings may lead to an insufficient field of view or no public field of view; upper and lower prism relative distance directly affects the baseline distance and sensor volume, inappropriate distance will lead to reduced accuracy, and the sensor structure is large and redundant; camera installation position affects the proportion of the imaging area reasonably [21]. The reasonable placement of the camera can make the field of view increased and the measurement accuracy improved.…”

Folk Dances From Our Cultural Heritage: Attitudes of Physical Education and Sports Teacher Candidates

“…It is thought that this difference is caused by the previous experience of students regarding folk dance course participation and it is possible that the individuals who attended the course before were in a more positive mood towards folk dances. Altun & Atasoy (2019), in their study with 46 students, reported that 23 students in the experimental group who took Folk Dance course had a negative attitude towards Folk Dances before attending the lesson, but their negative attitudes have changed to positive after completing the course.…”
