The Use of Digital Pedagogical Assessment in the Teaching of Dance Notation

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between digital technology and folk dance, highlighting the teaching methodology of the subject of Dance Notation. We first provide a brief insight into the history of teaching dance notation, followed by presenting its current educational practice. Related to this, we discuss the relationship between digital tools and dance education in a separate chapter. Pedagogical assessment plays a key role in our study, as we want to show how regular digital formative assessment makes the teaching of dance notation more effective and motivating. We outline further directions at the end of the article that could be introduced or at least researched as a pilot project in dance education.
