성인 학습자의 실시간 온라인 발레 체험에 관한 질적연구 - 참여 동기와 인식 전환을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study aims to explore the potential of real-time virtual ballet classes as a future model for adult ballet education through qualitative research. In-depth interviews were conducted with participants before the class, at its midpoint, and after the class. The key findings are as follows: (1) Virtual classes offer greater opportunities and motivation for adult learners by reducing barriers associated with traditional ballet classes. (2) These classes provide more efficient teaching methods, that combine a structured and repeatable format with the absence of external social scrutiny. (3) Participants experienced a positive shift in their perceptions of ballet, coming to view it as more accessible than they had previously assumed. (4) The classes also brought about meaningful physical and personal changes, which in turn reinforced motivation and supported continued learning. These findings highlight the potential of real-time virtual ballet as a viable and effective model for adult ballet education.
