Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of dance experience among students in free semester system of middle school. For this study, 13 students who participated in an educational program combining math and dance were specifically interviewed about their educational experiences. The collected data were analyzed using Giorgi analysis method among phenomenological research methods. As a result, 16 central meanings and 27 themes were derived in terms of thoughts on mathematics and dance, integrated education, educational effects, difficulties and improvement measures. The dance experience of free semester system allowed the participants to have broad perspectives on academics as they recognized the connection between math and dance. In addition, the positive effects of dance experience included five items: 1) increased interest in math and dance, 2) activation of thinking processes such as problem solving and reflective reflection, 3) mutual communication and empathy through dialogue and exchange of opinions, 4) confidence through performance and 5) immersion for understanding and completing tasks. On the other hand, it was found that they recognized the difficulty in expression and rapid change of thinking due to the lack of experience with the content or method of integrated education. For integrated dance education in free semester system, it is necessary to identify the disciplines and scopes to be integrated with dance, and to try various integrated dance education methods such as Connected model, Shared model, and Partnership model. In addition, it is required to discover teaching aids and materials that will sustain the interest of learners, to manage time flexibly, and to develop objective evaluation items that can measure the achievement level of students
