다문화가정 아동의 정체성 확립을 위한 전통춤 교육방안

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide traditional dance education for children from multicultural families to relieve their cultural conflicts with parents to build their cultural identity. Understanding the lives of our ancestors, their world view and esthetic sensitivity through traditional dance could serve as an opportunity to get a big picture of what the nation was like in the past, and that enables them to have a correct understanding of their own culture and the foreign culture of their fathers or mothers, which will make a contribution to their identity building. A profound understanding of Korean sentiment, life habits, values, nature and life attitude represented by Korean dance will make it possible for children from multicultural families to lead a richer life and boost their communicative competency. Traditional dance marked by familiarity, liberal expression and a combination of collective and individual characteristics is very accessible to those children. In this study, different sorts of traditional dance involving sword dance, Korean circle dance, Pungmulnoli, mask dance, dance of crane and Taepyeongmu were selected to teach, and then how to teach the different kinds of dance was determined. Besides, an educational program was designed by applying various sorts of creativity-stimulating approaches, and in which way it should be implemented was suggested.
