STUDENT LEARNING: WITHIN THE CLASSROOM

 Implications

ECED 708 ARTS

The research found that students are
supported in their learning of dance
JANUARY
through
18, 2020
being engaged with dance. This is due to the
freedoms dance provides, the focus it requires,
the feelings of transcendence it can offer, the
personal and emotional connections they may have
with the work, the sense of autonomy it has the
potential to impart, the preparation it takes, the
possibility of performing, and self-reflection.

found that disengagement
with dance can be caused by fear, lack of
confidence, and dislike of too hard or too
easy work.
 Conclusion and Future Directions
ECED 708
Teachers ARTS
should be constructivist in their
teaching methods and allow students the freedom
JANUARY 18, 2020
to create meanings for themselves and one of
those is through the use of dance.
Utilizing other modes of learning helps students find
ways to transfer knowledge across other content areas more
easily. It can provide a venue for funds of knowledge, using
dance is a way to switch things up for students, and it may
help students have a more positive attitude toward the
original content.
