Abstract
This study is the discussion about teaching and viewpoints on “Improvised Expression” in the “Bodily Expression and Creative Dance”, which is in the area of “Expression Movement and Dance”at elementary and junior-high schools.
Focusing on the 4 teachers who have been continuing their practices (as longtime practitioners), each teaching process of “Improvised Expression” and the learning intentions were revealed. Each teaching methods of “Improvised Expression” and its viewpoints were then considered.
Consequently, it was acknowledged that there were differences in the acquire points for learners, as each teachers had their own points. It was also proved that the differences were resulted by their particular emphasis on either “ability of bodily image” or “ability to create expressive movement”. Moreover, it was also clarified that all the teachers had defined “common prompts” to inspire improvised expression of learners.
