한국 춤에서의 흥 검사지 개발과 타당화 검증

Abstract

This research was purposed to develop and validate the Korean Dance Heung Scale (KDHS) by using objective and scientific methods. Based upon the preceding research done by Shin, B. H. and Jung, J. H. (2011) and reviews of the relevant literature, KDHS was developed by a close examination of the concept of Heung, generated in the course of dance practices and dance performances among Korean traditional dance majors. First, the initial survey questionnaire of KDHS was composed of 8 factors and 45 items. Data of 150 Korean dancers were analyzed by using technical analysis, item analysis, reliability analysis, and exploratory factor analysis for the purpose of survey item development. Next, confirmative factor analysis was performed on data of 350 Korean dancers, and consequently, 3 dimensions (internal, behavioral, and external), 6 factors (improvisation, naturalness, vitality, sublimation, inspiration, and shared feelings), and 27 items were finally derived. Second, data of 696 Korean dancers were analyzed in order to attest the validity of the finally derived survey items. The homogeneity of the finalized version of KDHS was validated and the latent mean analysis was performed. To sum up, this research successfully identified the practical and objective concept structure of Heung in Korean dance and developed the Korean Dance Heung Scale. The validity of KDHS was verified and correspondingly, the usage of Dance Heung Scale. The validity of KDHS was verified and correspondingly, the usage of KDHS was verified to be suitable for dancers of various performing levels including highschool students, college students, and professional dancers. This research is expected to become a foundation for future empirical studies on Heung.
