장애인무용에 관한 연구동향분석

Abstract

This study analyzed the research trend of dance for disabled people. The finding were summarized as followings: First, chronological analysis showed that this topic had been treated actively from 2000 but very limited studies in the 80's. Traditionally the research topic focused on the physically challenged or hearing-impaired people. However, recently the research scope expanded from emotional aspect to physical aspect. Second, the most topics were about dance therapy and treatment among the researches on the dance and disability, and those were applied to the welfare culture, education and physical training. The primary measurement variables were questions about personality, psychology, sociality and emotion. Third, mostly the research topics were about activities for program development. While there were rare research about program for specific types of disorder and age. On the contrary, disabled people could participate in public affairs through the activities of dance performances, and helped them to adjust to society and cultual activities. But, since the dance sport or leisure dance like K-Pop were mostly used for the dance education and dance therapy for the disabled people. Therefore this required more proactive participation of professional dancer to make the dance to do social function and role.
