Dance Methods 1: Curriculum Design And Pedagogy For Productive Teaching And Learning

An introduction to pedagogical practices that support productive teaching and learning in dance. Students will examine pedagogical theories and practices and will conduct 'action research' in order to identify conditions that support or hinder productive teaching and learning. This first phase of the 'methods' course will lay the groundwork for deeper investigation, integration, and application of materials in the Methods II course. 36 hours of fieldwork is required (track 2 MA students are exempt from the fieldwork requirement).
