본 연구는 이러한 문제의식에 근거하여 첫째, 실제 학교 교육에 적용할 수 있는 영상교재를 개발·제공함으로써 무용 교육의 전문성을 확보하고자 하며 둘째, 이를 통해 무용수업의 활용도 및 수업의 실효성을 높임으로써 학교교육 현장에서의 무용교육 활성화에 이바지 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이는 교사의 측면에서, 적절한 교재개발의 필요성을 매우 실감하는 교사들의 욕구를 충족시켜줄 뿐만 아니라 학생의 측면에서, 친숙한 교재를 통해 무용에 대한 관심도 제고 및 접근 가능성을 확대시켜줄 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.
이러한 목적에 근거하여 본 연구에서는 다음과 같은 연구문제들을 중심으로 결과를 도출하고자 한다.
먼저 첫 번째, 초등학교 표현활동 수업에 있어서 영상교재의 활용 가능성에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 두 번째, 영상교재를 활용하는 수업에 있어서 학생들의 창의적인 표현활동 가능성에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 끝으로 영상교재를 활용하는 표현활동 수업에 있어서 교사의 역할에 대해 알아보고 이를 통해 무용을 전공하지 않은 일반교사에 의한 수업 진행 가능성에 대해 알아보고자 한다.
The purpose of this study is to develop and apply specific methods, which can help teachers without a background in dance to teach creative dance and movement in the elementary-school classroom. For this, this study proposes to use video teaching materials to facilitate more effective dance education at schools.
To produce video teaching aids, an instructional plan was organized first. Next, a DVD was produced by combining multimedia elements of voice, pictures, photos, and animation. The program includes 1) understanding body movement (basic education), 2) training body movement (creative education), 3) educating through body movement (interdisciplinary creative education). The following computer programs were used for the DVD production: Sony Vegas 9.0 for editing work, Cubase SX 3.0 for voice recording, and 3D max 2009 for character rendering.
On February 3 and 4, 2010, four experimental sessions were conducted for 26 sixth-graders at H elementary school, located in Y district, Seoul. One teacher led the class, using the video teaching aids. The students showed more interest and paid closer attention to the class than before. The feedback was highly optimistic. It suggested a strong potential for the use of multimedia as a strategic tool for teaching body movement. Also, the creative productions of the students demonstrated that they were able to do original expressions, even without a teacher's demonstration. The reaction, creation and expression of the students during the class, post-class questionnaire, and interview with the teacher provided both an explicit and implicit response to the question of whether it is possible to instruct dance class using multimedia materials.
The greatest benefits of video teaching materials are to offer plentiful information to teachers without a dance background and to help them to instruct a dance class. However, video teaching materials cannot fully replace the role of a teacher because they contain 'stored materials,' which do not allow flexibility. Since video teaching aids cannot be adjusted during the class, a teacher needs to be equipped with a certain level of knowledge in dance instruction, in order to make proper decisions in a class and encourage students' participation.
One of the beneficial effects of video teaching aids is to revitalize a dance class and expressive activities led by teachers without a dance background. To achieve this goal in public education, it is crucial to secure sufficient funding, stimulate people's interest in dance class, and seek practical means to support the instruction.
Lastly, further studies are needed to address potential issues such as excessive cost and time in producing video teaching aids, a lack of sufficient resource for follow-up study, and the need to collect music and video materials related to creative dance class.
