Aesthetic Dance Appreciation Paradigm for Higher Education in Korea Focusing on Maxine Greene’s Aesthetic Education

초록

This study aims to illuminate a new perspective on teaching dance appreciation for students at the higher education level in Korea by adapting Maxine Greene’s philosophy of aesthetic education. Since there are few studies on dance appreciation in Korea, this study sheds light on understanding and implementing dance appreciation. Moreover, unlike other fields of art in Korea where Greene’s aesthetic education is widely acknowledged and utilized, the area of dance has not given much attention to her philosophy. Hence, this study reviews the key components of Greene’s aesthetic education, ‘wideawakeness, imagination, and experience’ and links them to dance appreciation. In the meantime, a potential dance appreciation education paradigm at the college level is presented by utilizing the three key components.
