Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the creation and utilization of indicators that can clarify the actual conditions and issues of instruction through the analysis of instructional language, and to create basic materials for instruction in Expressive Activity and Dance in physical education.
Therefore, the items of instructional content and their meanings in several previous studies were reviewed, and their positioning in terms of the skills of “What” and “How” was also organized. Using the results, we analyzed Expressive Rhythm Play of 1st grade elementary school students and showed the number and percentage of utterances of the instructional content items.
As a result, we created an “ Expressive Instructional Content List” consisting of 9 items (“What”: (1) Feel of material, (2) Image, “How”: (3) Body, (4) Extremity, (5) Variety, (6) Space, (7) Time, (8) Energy, (9) Sequence) and an “ Expressive Instructional Language Table” to determine the instructional content included in the language of instruction. The analysis of the language of instruction revealed that the content of instruction was selected in accordance with the objectives of the class, instruction was conducted with images at the core, and there were suggestions for teaching about the body and sequences. Thus, this study provides insight into the actual conditions and issues of instruction and demonstrates the possibility of using the indexes.
