Building an authentic cultural curriculum through tertiary cultural dance

Abstract

This study identified a range of pedagogies developed to promote global citizenship within a university Latin American dance unit. It implemented changes to teaching and learning approaches in the unit using the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) 5E Instructional Model, supporting learning that privileges transcultural connections to Latin America. The action research used a range of dance teaching pedagogies that were adapted, and evaluated, using the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO)Taxonomy, to support a culturally enriched student learning experience. The findings challenge traditional dance teaching pedagogies through meaningful engagements with the local Latin American dance community and a range of student and teacher reflective approaches.

Cultural stories: Curriculum design learnings from an arts-based Australian university project in Timor-Leste

“…This research builds on the recommendations from previous research projects carried out by Rachel Mathews (formerly Rachel Pedro) and Kym Stevens (Pedro et al, 2017(Pedro et al, , 2018Stevens et al, 2020) and evaluates the preparedness of university students for the challenges of designing and implementing arts focussed education projectsspecifically, their preparedness for teaching English as an additional language using arts pedagogies in a country other than their own, that is, Timor-Leste. It aims to support the further development of pedagogies that prepare university arts students to engage in this teaching/ learning experience in Timor-Leste, to document the specific learning activities, and identify gaps in the current curriculum.…”

“…In contrast to previous research projects conducted by two of this paper’s authors (Pedro et al, 2017, 2018; Stevens and Huddy, 2018; Stevens et al, 2020), the Cultural stories project investigates the next step in the learning process which involves the emerging teaching artists taking their pedagogical, cultural, and artistic knowledge and applying it in a ‘real-world’ cultural context. The preparation for the emerging teaching artists to engage in an arts education project is not necessarily about them ‘coping’ with the environment, challenges, or even the ‘busyness’ of the project, but rather about their preparation for an evolving sense of self and their self-perceived roles as artists and teachers.…”

Dance-Related Research In Tertiary Education : A Systematic Literature Review

“…Harmadik kérdésünk a vizsgálatok kutatási módszertanára vonatkozott. A kutatások közel kétharmadában (62,32%) (n = 43) kvalitatív kutatási eszközöket alkalmaztak (Assandri, 2019;Baran, 2020;Barton & Ryan, 2014;Bonner, 2022;Conner et al, 2021;Domene & Morley, 2022;Duffy, 2019Duffy, , 2020Dryburgh, 2020;Dryburgh & Jackson, 2016;Ehrenberg, 2020;Farrer, 2018;Haines & Torres, 2016;Higdon & Stevens, 2017;Johnson, 2018;Johnson et al, 2019;Kaktikar, 2016;Kattner, 2016;Kelsey & Uytterhoeven, 2016;Leijen & Sööt, 2016;Liu, 2020;Lopez, 2019;McCarthy-Brown, 2015;Mitchell, et al, 2018;‚Ofamo'oni, 2021;O'Leary et al, 2019;Patton et al, 2022;Petsilas et al, 2019;Pulinkala, 2014;Rimmer, 2017;Risner & Barr, 2015;Ritchie & Brooker, 2018Robinson, 2016;Roe, 2017;Salcedo et al, 2017;Seago, 2020;Stevens et al, 2019;Stevens & Huddy, 2016;Sulé, 2015;Tembrioti & Tsangaridou, 2013;Tsompanaki, 2014;…”

“…A táncórák inkluzivitása és a táncoktatáshoz való hozzáférés kérdése is a kutatók figyelmének középpontjába került (Brown, 2022;Clendinning, 2022;DiPasquale & Roberts, 2022;McCarthy-Brown, 2015;Mitchell et al, 2018;Wang, 2022), foglalkozva annak fontosságával, hogy a táncoktatás elérhetővé váljon a különböző populációk számára. Emellett az inter-vagy multikulturális táncoktatás kérdése (Clendinning, 2022;Jin & Martin, 2019;Johnson, 2018;Kaktikar, 2016;McCarty-Brown, 2015;Stevens et al, 2019;Wang, 2022), valamint a demokrácia és egyenlőség jelensége a táncos felsőoktatásban (Patton et al, 2022;Risner & Barr, 2015;Ritchie & Brooker, 2018;Sulé, 2015, Walker, 2019 is megjelent a kutatási témák között. A tánc-és kultúrakutatás interdiszciplináris területén is találtunk (auto)etnográfiai vizsgálatokat a különböző táncstílusok eredetéről (Bonner 2022;Dryburgh, 2020;Kaktikar, 2016;Patton et al, 2022;Risner & Musil, 2017;Ritchie & Brooker, 2018).…”

Research on the Design of Online Teaching Platform of College Dance Course based on IGA Algorithm

“…Traditional GA algorithm is prone to fall into precociousness and has weak local search ability [19][20]. To address these drawbacks of the traditional GA algorithm, acceptance probability will be added to the IGA algorithm to perform simulated annealing of the crossover variant operation individuals in the study.…”
