Learning Mexican folkloric dance through virtualization in times of pandemic
Abstract
Dance should receive the same curricular recognition as other subjects in formal education; however, they are frequently assigned a smaller number of sessions per week, a situation that worsened during the health contingency. In response to this situation, it was decided to migrate to digital platforms to maintain interaction with students. Therefore, the objective of this work was to identify the benefits of dance through workshops in which technology was used with students from basic and secondary education institutions. For this purpose, a descriptive study, participatory action type, was carried out, which included the application of pretest and posttest. The sample was intentional, selected according to the criteria of those students who expressed their desire to participate in the study-workshop. In total, eleven students from third grade from primary to second grade of high school participated, aged between seven and 16 years. The sessions were carried out synchronously and asynchronously. A course program was developed and two instruments were adapted to evaluate basic dance technique, in addition to a form intended to evaluate learning. The results show that the participants experienced improvements in their physical development, a decrease in sedentary lifestyle and a promotion of motivation, creativity and socialization during periods of confinement. The intervention also contributed to helping them manage stress and improve their dance performance skills.
