The purpose of this study was to clarify the actual learning evaluation situation by conducting a questionnaire evaluation of junior high school and senior high school health and physical education student teachers who wished to obtain a license for both men and women. The subjects were 1094 first-year college students (689 males and 405 females) who took dance classes, which are mandatory courses for both men and women. In the questionnaire survey, five questions were asked. Chi-square test was used to evaluate gender differences in answers, while text mining and co-occurrence networks were used for the free description answers. The main results are shown below.
(1) 61.4% of the students selected “creative dance” as their most memorable class.
(2) A total of 81.3% of students replied that their impressions and interests in dance changed positively; and in a co-occurrence network with the consideration of frequently appearing free words, the words “difficult” and “hip hop” were seen to be linked; the “various movements” and “knowing the expression” community were also shown.
(3) 14.9% of the students answered that the dance class was difficult; a higher percentage of whom were male students.
(4) 47.2% of students answered that they were able to tackle the class with an image (consciousness) of when they become teachers.
(5) 61.7% of the students answered that dance classes are different from other practical classes, and in a co-occurrence network with frequent words in free description, the “I often think for myself” community, and the “cooperate and unite in class” community were shown.
