碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 舞蹈學系碩士班 === 99 === Action research was used in this study in order to promote the community college learners’ understanding and interests of Chinese dance, ballet, and modern dance, which are the three most common types of dance performances in Taiwan theaters. The teaching approaches included the practice of basic dance movements, the watching of dance films, the introduction of dance history, and the practical performance on stage. Continuous amendments and revisions were conducted through assessments of, for instance, the class activities, the recorded class videotapes, the learners’ workbooks, the interviews, and the opinions from the critical friend in order to understand the progress of the learners’ understanding and interests of Chinese dance, ballet, and modern dance. The results have shown that it is not the types of dance, but the adequate teaching activities of dance that affects the learners’ interests. On the basis of the reaction and response of learners, the review of the action research, and the strategies of teaching at the community college, conclusions and suggestions are given in the final part of this dissertation.
