Abstract
The disability stereotypes in the society often results in discrimination and injustice against people with disabilities. Even in the era of lifelong learning, the disabled people's learning pipeline has also been ignored. Therefore, using the dance-life stories of the disabled dancers from the "Birds and Water Dance Ensemble" and the UNESCO lifelong learning five principles, namely, learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together, learning to be, and learning to change, this study explores the impacts of learning for the disabled people and the breakthrough of the stereotypes of the disabled people's learning abilities.
This study employs Narrative Inquiry method to write the stories and analyze the data, by conducting in-depth interviews with two disabled dancers from the "Birds and Water Dance Ensemble" with visual and physical disabilities, and by exploring the researcher's own psychological development of her dance learning, Following are the main findings of this study:
1. Learn to change from the heart: Eliminate resentment and negative attitudes, learn to face setbacks in life, and then change their own world. This is the common factor of the three, the changing heart gives them the motivation to learn.
2. The association of the lifelong learning five principles: Each of the five lifelong learning principles is not independently existing. it is a reversible cycle system, interlocking and influencing one another.
Finally, after understanding the disabled people's dance-learning experience, this dissertation also proves that the disabled people's learning abilities are not limited by their disabilities. This dissertation will provide some recommendations for disabled people, public sectors and related organizations.
