SWOT분석을 활용한 COVID19이후 무용 전공생의 환경변화 분석

Abstract

This study closely examines the various changes and challenges experienced by dance students amid the rapid changes caused by COVID-19 and uses SWOT analysis to identify elements of those changes as individual variables and to categorize their characteristics. This study aims to determine the negative elements among the variables so derived and define them as risk factors, as well as to identify opportunities among them and propose strategies to ameliorate the various negative influences that risk factors can have on dance students. COVID-19 has brought significant changes to dance students, not only in terms of practice environments and admission systems but also in intangible aspectssuch as psychologicaland mental health. This research classifies change factors caused by COVID-19 into five categories: mask use, a lack of communication due to social distancing, system changes, a lack of field experience, and physical factors and strategic changes. Subsequently, this research employs SWOT analysis to derive variables that correspond to strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat from the five aforementioned factors and uses (WO), (ST), (SO), and (WT) to understand the changes experienced by dance students following the pandemic as well as the long-term consequences derived therefrom. The environmental impactsof COVID-19 on dance students are not one-time events; rather,they are constantly evolving, changing, and impacting them in a variety of unpredictable ways. Furthermore, this study defines and identifies the influence that the environmental changes triggered by COVID-19 have had on admission policies and the negative impacts they have had on dance students as threat factors It also distinguishes opportunities from threats and provides a detailed and in-depth understanding and discussion of the possibility that external change factors can have an impact on the psychology of dance students, resulting in internal weakness. In that sense, this study is meaningful for responding appropriately to COVID-19 and preparing for the second and third global pandemics that are predictedin the future.
