While students attend elementary and secondary dance classes, they develop the internal characteristics such as self-regulation, positive attitude, creativity, cooperation. Such characteristics help students grow as self-motivated human beings, leading development by themselves. This process in dance classes is very similar to the empowerment process in the business organization, where self-efficacy among organizational members is enhanced and their behavioral patterns are changed. With regard to the empowerment process in dance classes, the role of a dance teacher as a leader is important. Then, this study purposes to analyze the leadership model of elementary and secondary dancer teachers in order to enhance their capabilities to affect the empowerment process in dance education. The main results are as follows. The leadership model of dancer teachers consists of three components. First, dance teachers need to be self-empowered through a change in attitude. Such self-empowerment help dance teachers enhance self-esteem, and confidence in others. Secondly, dance teachers need to recognize such roles of a leader as the cooperator, the creator, the coach, the counselor, the mentor, the provider of challenging opportunities, and the capability developer. Thirdly, to enhance empowering abilities of students, dancer teachers may use the implementation skills of leadership such as coaching, counseling, mentoring, and participative decision making. Because the leadership model suggested in this study is analyzed theoretically, the future study should be focused on the empirical analysis of the actual leadership program in order to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical leadership model, and develop the leadership program of a high degree of completion.

Compare to the other arts forms, dance as an intangible performing arts foam is restricted in records. Until the photo and video materials were actively utilized for recording dance, the dance was only remained in memories of dancers and audience members who experienced the dance site of those times. Recently dance oral history is beginning to apply for writing new dance history. While dance oral history offers to dancers to testify their own histories, it makes dance people to participate in writing dance history. Thus, oral history scripts on dance that is dance peoples’ oral texts can expend horizon of dance history’s writing. In present, historical resources on the 20th century’s Korean dance, particularly in the period of Korean Liberation (1945~1948) and the period of Korea War (1950~1953) are poor as if these periods are vacuity. Even if some documents related to these periods are existed, those contents are the event, the dancer, the dance work, the dance criticism, and dance organization which are limited evidence of these periods. On the other hands, oral history scripts on dance related to these periods provide vivid historical evidences on cultural environments and real situations of dance production and dancers. Because those oral texts were created by voices of senior dancers who lived in these periods. Futhermore, the scripts clue in on anthological, sociological, and psychological resources related to the dancer or dance trends in these two periods. Therefore, applications of oral history scripts on dance enable to write on deeper historical themes, such as the dancer’s identity, changes of aesthetics, trends of dance creation, dance policies, and dance agencies in the 20th century. The purpose of this study is how to overcoming limitations of writing on the 20th century’s Korean dance history through the oral history scripts on dance. First of all, the researcher analyzed two dance history books, Hangguk Hyeondae Yesulsa Daegye I [An Outline of Arts History of the Korean Modern Period] and Woori Muyong Baeknyeon [100 Years of Korean Dance]. Then, the vacancy and the errs related to the period of Korean Liberation and the period of Korea War that discovered in those two books were made up with the texts of oral history on dance that completed in 2008 and 2009 by the Arts Resource Center of the Arts Council Korea. In result, this study has attempt to open new horizon for writing on history of the 20th century’s Korean dance. Even though this study first attempts to apply the oral history text of senior dancers for writing dance history, the trail is limited to supplying new historical facts. That is, the study could not developed to writing new dance history because previous resources were so poverty than the researcher had expected. In the future the oral history scripts would aid not only dance history researchers to write alternative dance history, but also to discover counter memories compare to the previous dance history books.

To evaluate properly the performance of the dance education program, it is necessary to develop the evaluation model based on logical and efficient principles. In other words, it is needed to develop the evaluation model which can provide answers for key questions related to the performance of the dance education program. Then, the purpose of this study is to develop a systematic evaluation model in order to properly evaluate the dance educational program operated by Korea Arts & Service Education Service. To build up a systematic model for the performance measurement, the basic framework of the logic model is used, for the logic model has been widely considered to help evaluators design evaluation and performance measurement for various programs. The evaluation model derived in this study logically explains the structural relationship among key elements in the evaluation process, and provides performance indicators which make it possible to measure performance outcomes and impacts quantitatively. Using the suggested model, it is expected to find ways to improve the existing dance education program operated by Korea Arts & Service Education Service effectively and efficiently.

Requirements of research ethics education depend on leaners' position and major. This article investigated issues of dance, which is in distinctiveness as science of arts, as well as research ethics education, and then considered direction of education. Firstly, one of the issues is articles on a living person. We need to prospect contemporary artists but have to get out of directly hierarchical relationship. When viewing the person objectively, we can secure neutrality. Secondly, it is awareness as 'a scholar' who interacts with dance places and mediate between theories and the place. Lastly, it is plagiarism. Artists would know it in both works and articles. Plagiarism is the field which is prone to be infringed widely in both of them. To solve these issues of dance studies, education direction of research ethics should reinforce its subject, mark the writer rightly, and commonly use checking system of articles similarity for preventing plagiarism in advance. Subject of current research ethics should consider distinctiveness of dance studies and I wish it leads to training needs of dance studies intensively.
