Abstract

With today’s enhanced importance of arts education based on humanistic thinking ability and creativity, there are constant needs of development of integrated educational program improving imagination, creativity, expression capacity and power of delivery. This study aims to develop an integrated pre-ballet program based on diverse forms and content of children’s stories capable of inspiring preschool children aged 6-7, attracting their attention and arousing their interests. For the purpose of this, the present program intended to consider developmental features of children and educate in connection with their real life, in order to encourage children to have an open mind and stimulate their curiosity and inquiring mind based on the motif of fanciful, lyrical and didactic features of children’s stories imbued with innocence of children. First, the purpose of this program lies in encouraging children to experience the land of children’s stories from the past to the present through dancing, after considering three characteristics of educational implications of ‘space’, ‘encounter’ and ‘hope’ based on multiple intelligence theory by means of children’s story, and constituting the areas of writing (movement and composition), speaking (creation and expression) and reading (presentation and appreciation) with body. Second, teaching-learning plan is composed of 14 sessions and is conducted in order of 1) warming up – expressing with body, 2) understanding the children’s stories, 3) experience– expressing through dance, 4) performance– explaining and 5) communication. In other words, this program contributes to giving children spirit of challenge and courage towards a new future, by writing with body in the space, communicating with friends while talking about their feelings and ideas, making a presentation of dance based on a newly created story and giving them some reflective time.
