Abstract

This study aimed to investigate dance majors’ perceptions of the Korean traditional dance education for preschoolers in terms of interest, necessity and effectiveness. To achieve this goal, 300 dance majors, who were in attendance or graduated from a college or a 4-year university in Seoul, were selected as subjects of study. 289 data in total were used for final data processing. SPSS 18.0 program were used to carry out frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and One-way ANOVA. The results of research with the above methods and procedures were as follows: First, the dance majors’ perceptions of their interest, necessity and effectiveness in Korean traditional dance education for preschoolers were higher than modern dance and ballet. This might result from the impact of the positive perceptions of Korean traditional dance through their immediate career and experience. Second, the perceptions of its interest, necessity by whether they had an experience of dance education for preschoolers were also higher in those with some experience. However, it turned out that there was no statistical difference in the perceptions of its effectiveness between those with experience and those without experience based on whether they had any experience of dance education for preschoolers. There finding represented that they perceived that motions and breathing in Korean traditional dance would be helpful for their physical and emotional developments. Also, they had perceptions based on their experience of communal Korean traditional dance.
