Course Content (Syllabus)
This course’s aims are a) the study of the potentiality of multifaceted pedagogical management and implementation of dance forms in formal and non-formal learning contexts and b) the students’ familiarization and experimentation with research methods found in scientific references on dance in educational context. Semiotics of the Art of dance, the cultural offer of dance, appropriate teaching methods for the kindergarten and the primary school are approached through creative dance, Greek traditional, dances of the world and other types that can be offered as means of expression, creation, communication and learning. The value of rhythmic movement and dance is explored as means to the improvement of typical and non-typical children’s psychomotor development . The students study contemporary scientific data on this subject and they participate in artistic expression’s and teaching simulation’s experiential workshops, gaining proficiency for flexible pedagogical approach of dance and creative movement in school. Important parts of this course are the intercultural and interdisciplinary approaches through expressive body movement, that highlight the place of dance as an element of culture and learning in education. Finally, alternative forms of movement exploration with scientific background, such as Dance-therapy, are considered theoretically and practically under the light of a pedagogical perspective.
