과학기술 발달과 고등 무용교육의 추진과제

Abstract

With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, many countries around the world have been establishing and carrying out national visions and strategies for higher education. Although science plays a leading role in our future society, university-level dance education can be revitalized because creative activities of dancing restore and generate an essential human ability to create and change the future. This research presents the following core values and strategies that must be implemented in dance departments at universities in the future. First, higher education in the future should adopt a strategy to coexist with social mechanisms that allows learners to learn new technology continuously and to receive convergence education that combines ethical education and traditional study based on globalization and multi-dimensional social structure. Second, dance departments in universities, in the digital era, need to develop a specialized and new teaching-learning paradigm for to develop and combine dance and scientific technology. For this purpose, the foundation of educating dance researchers should be established where innovative teaching methods and leadership, transdisciplinary research and global viewpoints, regional ties and civic awareness, and technology are utilized. Third, dance departments in universities should expand the boundaries of contexts, connectivity and interactions in dance on the societal, cultural and artistic level by utilizing DDL(digital dance literacy) for open online education, and enhance the organizational, influential and introspective power of dance. In addition, the dance departments need to build a dance platform where a variety of content and lectures can be developed and offered through MOOC(massive open online course) to help learners to study further into their majors, plan their career and improve job skills. As stated above, dance departments in universities need public cooperation from other departments to hone their competitiveness for the future. Valid dance education modules should be developed as dance is required in many areas such as dance expert education, civic education, and fundamental and applied research fields. Furthermore, in a response to the change in population structure due to an aging population, a sound dance network that can contribute to healthy life and health care services must be developed. Lastly, investors, developers, and instructors who would make contribution to the development of dance educational technology should cooperate with each other and conduct research, while institutional and policy support system for them are prepared.
