Dans, självförtroende och självkänsla : En fenomenologisk studie om danselevers upplevelse i dansundervisning

Sammanfattning: This study examines how dance education can affect a dance student’s self-efficacy and self-concept. The purpose is to shine light on the students perspective on their education. It is also to help educators to get an understanding of and interest in students perspective so that they are included in the work of adjusting the education to help develop dance students self-efficacy and self-concept. The study was done with a Merleau-Ponty phenomenological perspective through four semi structured interviews which were transcribed and analysed from Steinar Kvales methods. The results show four main factors that can affect dance students self-efficacy and self-concept and these are: The relationship to members of the group, Feedback, Comparing to others and The relationship to teachers. Since this study is limited to the perspective of four students, further research needs to be done to verify if these factors are important to the bigger population of dance students.
