Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the cognition of middle and high school students hoping to major in dance. To accomplish the purpose of the study total ten middle and high school students hoping to major in dance were selected as research participants; five middle and five high school students respectively. Also one of the researcher of this study was conducted as a participant observer. Data were collected through in-depth interviews using an open questionnaire on the cognition of Specialized Dance Competency and field notes of the participant observer. Collected data were processed by transcribing and categorical analysis. Trustworthiness of the data was established by experts and triangulation. The result of the study as follows; i) the participants made great effort to dance skill improvement rather than developing Specialized Dance Competency, ii) although the participants felt pressure in doing dance and schoolwork simultaneously, they wanted to keep practicing dance because they love dance, iii) because the students did not have deep understanding about dance creativeness or integrated understanding of dance, they felt their lack of knowledge about dance theory and skill, iv) although the arousal level would be peak during their real dance performance situation, they did not get an appropriate arousal control treatment by their teacher or leader, v) the participants were uncertain to their future career, however, they had interest and passion to the future career. In other words, it might be difficult to understand the trend of dance and challenge to new career, they would challenge to it. Some suggestions were made through this study. Firstly, development of more valid index for Specialized Dance Competency is needed to diagnose Specialized Dance Competency more correctly. Secondly, Integrated learning support system should be provided in order to improve Specialized Dance Competency for the candidates hoping to major in dance. Lastly, exploration of cognition on Specialized Dance Competency for the dance leaders should be conducted as follow-up study.
