Abstract
Background and Aim: With the rapid development of modernization, traditional art forms such as the "Four-side Drum Dance" are facing a crisis of inheritance, with younger generations showing decreasing awareness and participation. This study aims to explore methods of integrating the Four-side Drum Dance, a non-material cultural heritage, into the curriculum of the Preschool Education major at Tongren University, and to evaluate its impact on students' dance skills and understanding of traditional culture. The study uses the ADDIE model and Tyler's theory to design and implement the curriculum, aiming to provide a practical example of integrating cultural heritage education and to guide curriculum reform in the Preschool Education major.
Materials and Methods: This study employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, designing the curriculum based on the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and implementing it among Preschool Education major students at Tongren University. Data was collected before and after the curriculum implementation through various methods, including questionnaires, interviews, observations, and work analysis. This article uses SPSS software for statistical analysis, calculating indicators such as mean and standard deviation. Quantitatively evaluate students' satisfaction with the course, the richness of the course, the flexibility of teaching methods, and the improvement of dance skills.
Results: The study results show that students' satisfaction with the Four-side Drum Dance course significantly increased, and they made significant improvements in aspects such as the standardization of dance movements, sense of rhythm, and expressiveness. Additionally, students gained a deeper understanding of the traditional culture embodied in the Four-side Drum Dance, with an enhanced sense of cultural identity.
Conclusion: The application of the Four-side Drum Dance course in the Preschool Education major at Tongren University effectively improved students' dance skills and cultural understanding abilities. The course provides a new approach for the inheritance and promotion of intangible cultural heritage while offering valuable experience and reference for curriculum reform in the Preschool Education major.
