학령인구 감소에 따른 한국무용교육 방향 탐색

초록

In this research, we examine the direction of Korean traditional dance education in the educational environment whereby academic age population is decreasing constantly due to low birthrate problems. As such, we conducted in-depth interviews to one Korean traditional dance teacher who has been working as a teacher for more than 10 years in A Art High School. The results are as follows. First, continuous low birthrate is causing the decrease in academic age population as well as Korean traditional dance population, hampering and weakening the improvement of practical dance and the position of Korean traditional dance. Also, considering the fact that ballet has established its position as a field of private education, prompted by the promotion by professional brands specialized in ballet education, it is important to establish the foundation of Korean traditional dance for preschoolers. The authors suggest establishment of a brand specialized in Korean traditional dance for early childhood. If preschoolers are able to experience Korean traditional dance since their childhood, it would be conducive to the development of Korean traditional dance by bringing positive changes to the Korean traditional dance education. Second, the authors indicate that Korean traditional dance education should be integrated with other fields of Korean culture instead of restricting itself to dance. Collaborations with other fields would demonstrate extended significance and the importance of educational diversity. These efforts will greately contribute to the creation of jobs related to Korean traditional dance.
