미국 무용교육 제도를 통해 본 한국 무용교육의 선진화 방안

Abstract

This study investigated strategies for advancement of dance education for development of dance education of Korea through dance education system of America. Dance needs to be included in arts subject of the regular curriculum, and this study suggested establishment of autonomous selection system of arts subject(dance, music, art, drama and etc), unification of dance education through the development of national education standards, pursuit of high-quality dance education using internet, subdivision of learning standards by age and level, necessity of active financial support from the government, and acceptance through the improvement of necessity recognition and value perception of dance education. Dance education in Korea has been revised several times despite its shorter history than America, and dance education as a cultural artistic education is in precarious position every year due to budget or institutional problem. At a time when dance graduates acquire certificate of physical education teacher every year and culture and arts teachers are being produced, the reality of dance education and the field are not making big changes, and accordingly, the education system or research and effort for national standards as contents, learning method, and evaluation are inadequate. At a time when the school dance education across the nation needs to take one step further through the issuance of dance teaching certificates, literature investigation on the dance education system of America and studies on the course of the national dance education helped to have hope for the future of dance education. Therefore, this study expects for the base of dance education to be expanded in the future through quantitative·qualitative development of research for dance education and challenge for systematic complement, and is looking forward to the day when the entire nation can receive dance education as dance education becomes activated.
