Development of E-Module Material on Recognizing the Environment With Dance

Dance learning in elementary schools is no less essential in learning activities. However, teachers still need to clarify many things regarding the purpose of learning dance in schools, where teachers still think that learning dance must teach students to become dancers. Therefore, this study aims to develop e-modules on recognizing the environment with dance for grade IV elementary school students. This type of research is development research with the ADDIE development model. The data collection techniques used in the study were observation, interviews, documentation, questionnaires, and tests. The data analysis techniques used are normality test, t-test, and N-Gain test. The results of the feasibility assessment of e-modules to recognize the environment with dance from material experts obtained a score of 92.26%. In comparison, the evaluation of media experts obtained a value of 89.02%. In addition, responses from users on product trials obtained a percentage of 98.18% from students and 100% from class teachers. The effectiveness of e-modules to recognize the environment with dance is evidenced in the t-test which obtained a significance value of 0.001 less than the significance level of 0.05, which means that there is a significant effect of using e-modules to recognize the environment with dance. In the N-Gain test, the result is 82.80, which can be concluded that the e-module of recognizing the environment with dance that has been developed is declared feasible and effective in learning dance.

Assessing teachers' acceptance of traditional games-based creative movement for increasing preschool children's imagination

This research aims to explore the urgency, content expectations, and teachers' attitudes towards learning creative dance based on traditional folk games in building the imagination of preschool children. Knowledge about the teacher's urgency, content, and attitude is needed to develop a creative dance learning model that can increase the imagination of preschool children using traditional folk games. A survey conducted on 40 preschool teachers in Malaysia showed that teachers felt an urgency to improve children's imagination (mean = 4.48), proposed some content related to traditional games (mean = 4.45), and saw that traditional games could inspire a creative movement to increase children's imagination (mean = 4.41). This research is still in the early stages of evaluating teacher needs and readiness and has not yet reached the design or empirical testing of the Active-Tradir model. Nevertheless, these findings provide a strong basis for further development and implementation of a future creative movement learning model based on traditional games, which we have named "Creative Movement Based on Folk Traditional Games (Active-Tradir)." Keywords: children's imagination, traditional games, creative movements, preschool teacher, Malaysia

DiADEM-Dance against Dementia-Effect of a Six-Month Dance Intervention on Physical Fitness in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized, Controlled Trial.

Background: Preserving health and physical fitness is critical to ensure independent living across the lifespan. Lower levels of physical fitness are associated with age-related cognitive decline and a higher prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Thus, this study investigates the influence of a six-month dance intervention on selected measures of physical fitness in older adults with MCI. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 55 patients with MCI were randomized into a sportive dance training (IG; n = 26; age: 70.7 ± 5.6 years; 62% female) or an inactive control group (CG; n = 24; age: 69.1 ± 6.8 years; 46% female). The dance group received two 90 min dance training sessions per week over a duration of six-months, which focused on learning dance movement patterns. During the training sessions, heart rate was measured to control exercise intensity. Physical fitness was assessed using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), lower limb functional fitness via sit-to-stand test, handgrip strength, and heart rate variability (HRV). Results: We observed that the dance intervention preserved the cardiorespiratory fitness as measured by maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) during CPET, which decreased in the CG. Furthermore, participants in the IG demonstrated increases in leg and handgrip strength, although these were not statistically significant. HRV displayed a non-significant decrease following the intervention. Conclusions: The results of this randomized controlled trial suggest that sportive dance training can preserve elements of physical fitness (i.e., cardiorespiratory fitness) in older adults with MCI. Although improvements in the other parameters (i.e., leg and handgrip strength) were statistically non-significant, likely due to the small sample size, stabilizing muscular fitness and preventing age-related decline in older adults with MCI is important for maintaining functional independence. For future studies, we recommend a longer training duration paired with precise control of regular physical activity levels, an important confounding factor.

Beyond the Screen With DanceSculpt: A 3D Dancer Reconstruction and Tracking System for Learning Dance

Dance learning through online videos has gained popularity, but it presents challenges in providing comprehensive information and personalized feedback. This paper introduces DanceSculpt, a system that utilizes 3D human reconstruction and tracking technology to enhance the dance learning experience. DanceSculpt consists of a dancer viewer that reconstructs dancers in video into 3D avatars and a dance feedback tool that analyzes and compares the user’s performance with that of the reference dancer. We conducted a comparative study to investigate the effectiveness of DanceSculpt against conventional video-based learning. Participants’ dance performances were evaluated using a motion comparison algorithm that measured the temporal and spatial deviation between the users’ and reference dancers’ movements in terms of pose, trajectory, formation, and timing accuracy. Additionally, user experience was assessed through questionnaires and interviews, focusing on aspects such as effectiveness, usefulness, and satisfaction with the system. The results showed that participants using DanceSculpt achieved significant improvements in dance performance compared to those using conventional methods. Furthermore, the participants rated DanceSculpt highly in terms of effectiveness (avg. 4.27) and usefulness (avg. 4.17) for learning dance. The DanceSculpt system demonstrates the potential of leveraging 3D human reconstruction and tracking technology to provide a more informative and interactive dance learning experience. By offering detailed visual information, multiple viewpoints, and quantitative performance feedback, DanceSculpt addresses the limitations of traditional video-based learning and supports learners in effectively analyzing and improving their dance skills.

Designing The UI/UX of a Website Introducing Traditional Culture Focusing on Dance Using the User-Centered Design Method

Culture is the entire system of ideas, actions and results created by humans in social life that humans possess through the learning process. Introduction to traditional culture is an important part in maintaining and developing the identity of a society. In the digital era, the use of technology as a medium to promote traditional culture is very important. Mahograyasah art studio is one of the art studios or places to learn art which currently has problems, namely in the delivery of material. As a result, learning effectiveness decreases and participants have difficulty mastering the material well. The participants felt it was ineffective to receive the material directly and preferred to practice. However, due to the time and large number of participants, direct practice is difficult. Apart from that, the studio does not provide video tutorials for independent study at home, so participants only rely on learning when practicing in class. To overcome this problem, researchers used the User-Centered Design (UCD) method by developing a web-based prototype. Testing was carried out using the System Usability Scale (SUS). In this research, figma is used to design a website which contains dance material, dance videos, games and locations. The result of this research is a dance learning website prototype for the Mahograyasah studio. Based on prototype testing using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method, the average SUS score obtained was 88. 625. Thus it can be concluded that the Introduction to Traditional Culture learning website focusing on Dance has been accepted and meets the expected criteria. Keywords:Traditional Culture, Dance, User-Centered Design, prototype, System Usability Scale.
