Writing poems of aesthetic education with the body—the aesthetic education value and practice of "dancing child hearts"
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v8i2.5046
Abstract
Aesthetic education constitutes an indispensable component of holistic development education. Dance education, with its unique physicality, emotional engagement, and comprehensive nature, plays an irreplaceable role in aesthetic education for primary and secondary schools. Grounded in the intrinsic characteristics of dance art, this study systematically elucidates the distinctive value of dance education in cultivating aesthetic literacy and fostering well-rounded personalities through four dimensions: bodily cognition, emotional expression, cultural identity, and personality shaping. By addressing current challenges in dance education practices, the research proposes optimization strategies. Findings indicate that dance education transcends mere artistic skill training; it serves as a sensory aesthetic carrier through physical participation. Through the integration of mind and body, it achieves aesthetic enlightenment, emotional cultivation, and value guidance in a subtle yet profound manner, serving as a vital vehicle for realizing the educational objectives of "nurturing individuals through beauty and refining character via aesthetics".
