Indian dance (Bharatanatyam) to ease social loneliness and isolation in older adults

ABSTRACT Older adults worldwide are facing disproportionate levels of isolation and loneliness. The current frameworks for understanding social isolation and loneliness include factors such as the physical and mental health of the individuals, loss of friends and family, level of education, relationships, and the built environment. While these models are useful, they fail to consider the individual experiences of older adults holistically; as an example, they do not include older adults’ relationship with themselves as they navigate the many challenges of life. In this article, I propose a novel framework for describing social isolation and loneliness in older adults that includes relationships to their changing bodies and experiences, to history and literature, and to nature and current events. Considering this revised framework, I summarize my observations as a teaching artist using Bharatanatyam, a 2,000-year-old Indian traditional dance form, in alleviating loneliness and isolation. Outcomes are in the form of qualitative narratives that are thematically united and presented. Given the highly communicative and relational nature of Bharatanatyam, I hypothesize that immersion in Bharatanatyam will enable connections of various kinds. This article describes three ways in which Bharatanatyam is particularly well-suited to build connections; these are 1. Connection with oneself in body, mind, and psyche; 2. Connection to tradition and history and 3. A systematic structure of relating to others, to the nature and environment, and current events.

The Formative, Critical and Emancipatory Potential of the Arts in General and Theatre in Particular

Objective: The aim of this study is to make a reflective and critical contribution to theatre as a learning space, considering paths towards education through art, education for art and education in art. Theoretical Framework: The text is based on the pedagogical, aesthetic, ethical and technical experiences of artists such as Bertolt Brecht, Peter Brook, Eugenio Barba, Augusto Boal, Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski, Pina Bausch and Ariane Mnouchkine, with the aim of establishing a network of currents of thought that intertwine with Socrates, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Paulo Freire, among others, in the combination of art, pedagogy and social transformation. Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises a bibliographical review, which is decisive for the essayistic and dialogical form that the article seeks to establish with the reader. Results and Discussion: The results obtained indicate that the concept of teaching artist must take on theatre itself and understand that artistic and pedagogical action focused on modes of stage production, scenic thinking and language research already constitute education. Within the concept of the teaching artist, the very structuring of theatre, in its multiple possibilities of experiences, involves artistic-pedagogical decisions and choices. Based on their artistic training and interest in education through art, the teaching artist must link their work to the creative, mobilising and knowledge-building potential that theatre possesses, in direct relation to society from an inter-arts perspective. Research implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are based on a conceptual universe that substantiates and emphasises the social and pedagogical role of theatre, the artist and the teacher interested in scenic perspectives that reaffirm the formative, critical and emancipatory potential of the arts. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the specific literature in the area, as well as resulting in a proposition of the Teaching Artist as a mobiliser and builder of theatrical knowledge in direct dialogue with society and other arts.

Entertainment type robots based on machine learning and game teaching mode applied in dance action planning of art teaching

We studied the use of machine learning models for training dance action models, collected dance action data, annotated and classified it, and established a training set for dance action models. We trained the training set to learn the feature representation and pattern recognition capabilities of dance actions. Through training and tuning the model, a model that can accurately recognize and generate dance movements was obtained. Evaluate the similarity between two dance movements and select the appropriate dance movements to form a smooth dance sequence. A planning algorithm was designed based on the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of robots to generate dance action paths suitable for the robot’s body conditions. Considering factors such as joint limitations, body stability, and smooth movement of the robot, generate a reasonable dance motion path while ensuring safety. Through on-site testing and data analysis of the system, it has been verified that it can effectively generate diverse and expressive dance movements, bringing a unique viewing experience to entertainment venues.

Research on flexible teaching innovation

Flexible teaching is essentially a new strategy for teaching "stability and change". The characteristic of traditional linear thinking is diachronicity, while the characteristic of flexible thinking is synchronicity without specific restrictions.Teaching allows students to understand the natural order of the development and evolution of things from the seemingly chaotic and complex phenomena, gain insight into the next step forward, identify potential unknown needs and develop students' thinking, and then foresee changes and automatically cope with changes. This is the essence of flexible teaching innovation. Flexible teaching is marked by "humanization" and emphasizes jumps and changes, speed and response, sensitivity and flexibility. Flexible teaching does not mean no principles. It complements and complements institutional teaching. Teaching requires harmony, and harmony is inseparable from flexible teaching and institutional teaching. Grasping the scale of teaching and flexibility in teaching is the art of teaching.

A Hermeneutical Evaluation of Luther’s Sola fide and its relevance to the Doctrine of Salvation in The Apostolic Church Nigeria, Southwest Zone

Purpose: The study evaluates Luther’s theory of sola fide and its relevance to the doctrine of salvation in The Apostolic Church Nigeria, Southwest Zone. The doctrine of sola fide typically entails the notion that salvation is through faith only. Unfortunately, in contemporary times, the concept of salvation has suffered much misunderstanding. It has been a subject of much controversy characterised with so much variations and confusion of thoughts in its art of teaching. Materials and Methods: Employing the tool of hermeneutics and critical assessment, the study comparatively examined the theo-linguistic implications of Luther’s sola fide and TACN’s doctrine of salvation. Findings: The study discovers that TACN’s doctrine of salvation shares fundamental similarities but TACN’s doctrine of salvation extends the doctrine of salvation further than Luther’s sola fide by emphasizing the possibility of a Christian losing his salvation. However, it is discovered and argued that TACN’s commitment to the doctrine of sola fide has not been balanced in practice. While the church professes that salvation is attained through faith only, her officials and members are observed to lay significant emphasis on salvation through works. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study therefore recommends that the church should be consistent in its commitment to sola fide both in doctrine and practice. This can be achieved through consistency in the art of teaching what is believed by the church

Is PowerPoint killing the art of medical teaching and is the interactive board way forward?

In classroom teaching, especially in the medical field, it has made the teaching-learning method very effective. Medical teaching evolves quite rapidly, and the same set of slides becomes outdated very frequently. PowerPoint presentation (PPT) are easily editable and hence save a lot of time while updating. Furthermore, medical teaching (any subject) has a lot of pictures and videos in teaching. These can be quite easily and effectively used in PPT, which is not possible in Chalk and Board. Effective teaching is not only dissipation of information but also about continuity and storytelling. This generally gets affected if someone is over reliant on slides in PPT. In our view, a PPT should have at most 15 – 20 slides for a 1-h lecture. This will allow more time in discussion and less time in slide reads.

Fostering Educator Buy-in of Language and Literacy in the Science Classroom

This paper describes a project to build linguistic awareness among science educators at multiple levels: pre-service K–12 teachers, in-service K–12 teachers, and university faculty in both education and STEM fields. Educational linguists from a language-focused non-profit research organization created modules on teaching culturally and linguistically diverse students for a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program for middle school science educators at a large urban U.S. university. The module content, which was integrated into three science education methods courses, was designed around three key principles: linguistic understanding, critical language awareness, and pedagogical modeling. A critical component to the project’s success was fostering “buy-in” from the various groups of educators through multiple means, including piloting materials with in-service science teachers, training university faculty on the language and literacy materials, and revising content based on feedback from the MAT program faculty and students. The findings demonstrate that over time, the educators re-examined their roles as teachers of language and literacy and reassessed their thinking related to science instruction, highlighting the efficacy of incorporating language development content into training and professional development for STEM educators at multiple levels.

Like Drifting Sand Dunes: Noisy Lessons in a Porous Field

AbstractThis paper argues that the teaching of art in Higher Educational Institutions is inherently paradoxical. Informed by the transgressive and interdisciplinary qualities of contemporary artistic practices, education nevertheless is often made to fit into a reductionist, outcome‐oriented and individualistic discourse. Taking a weeklong workshop at the Nida Art Colony in Lithuania as a practical axis for its reflections on the fluid nature of art education, the paper discusses possibilities of extending beyond pedagogical, political, human/nonhuman and other borders and treating ‘noise’ and other ‘interferences’ as opportunities for transgression and dialogue. This workshop with students from the Vilnius Academy of Arts took place in September 2022, at a time characterised by the Russia–Ukraine war. Nida's proximity to Russia's exclave Kaliningrad, its location on the narrow Curonian Spit, and its immediate environment characterised by woods and sand dunes provide this paper with a setting for a discussion about a variety of borders: territorial borders, border pedagogies, perceived borders between human and nonhuman entities, between land and sea, and so on. Borders are described as dominant indicators of power and distinction, while educational standards and instruments of measurement often replicate similar distinctions between the known and the unfamiliar. Yet, borders can also be shifted while new connections and dialogues across real and conceptual borders can be forged in a porous process that is predisposed towards flexible scenarios characterised by the ‘not‐yet’. The surrounding forest and wetlands and huge drifting sand dunes in Nida become analogies for the changing structure of the workshop, silently yet overpoweringly advocating for a mutable pedagogy. Analysed through the work of various contemporary artists, this nonhuman intrusion into a pedagogical and creative experience is both undefined and vulnerable, unlike the preordained structures of attainment targets often associated with contemporary schooling.
