The Interplay of Knowledge and Practice in Dance Teaching: What we Can Learn From a Non-Traditional Dance Teacher

“…The second research question focuses on Martha's knowledge as reflected in her teaching behaviors and, more specifically, in the instructional tasks she presented to her students. That orientation differs from the process-product research conducted in dance in which teachers' and students' behaviors were described using instruments specifically designed for dance or adapted from academic or physical education classes (Gray 1984;Lord 1982;Pieron and Georis 1983).

Dance in computer technology: A survey of applications and capabilities

“…It is being used to determine the effects of class size, class composition, content, experience, motivation, and class level on dance teaching and student achievement. A dance teacher location-tracking system has also been developed by Gray (1984b). Aside from the transcription and analysis programs, this tracking system employs a computer graphics printer and plotter to enable dance teachers to see, understand, and self-evaluate their individual location patterns (Figure 4).…”

Nonverbal Communications: A Commentary on Body Language in the Aviation Teaching Environment

“…According to Gray (1984) teachers are not trained (nor given examples or role models) in nonverbal teaching behavior and communication. In fkt, teachers tend to make themselves less effective by being, often unwittingly, physically inactive and inaccessible.…”
