미학적 접근을 통한 무용 감상 교육에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to shed light on the importance of dance appreciation education and the desperate necessity of aesthetic approach to that which was part of fundamental education. One of the significant merits of dance education by aesthetic approach is that it makes it possible for teachers and students to appreciate music, to have a talk about the concepts of dance and creative criticism, and to gratify their curiosity about dance and aesthetic objects, which cannot be achieved by cramming education or practice-centered learning. In fact, however, the introduction of aesthetics into dance education is still rejected on the ground that an aesthetic approach is still overly metaphysical and abstract in the education sector. Another reason is a poor understanding of aesthetics and inadequate aesthetic abilities on the side of teachers. Dance appreciation education by aesthetic approach enables learners to have an aesthetic eye, to experience beauty, to foster their perceptivity and analytic ability required for understanding and appreciating works. The focus of the study was placed on providing theories on the arts, aesthetic experience and aesthetic judgment for teachers to stir up the aesthetic inquiry of students, to foster their aesthetic eye and to let them grow into well-rounded aesthetic adults. To serve the purpose, literature of education, dance education, aesthetics and dance criticism were reviewed to find out the concept and transition of aesthetics to lay the foundation for an aesthetic approach toward dance education. Besides, the concept and purpose of dance appreciation and the need of aesthetic approach were discussed to explore some of the right directions for dance education by aesthetic approach.
