As this is a basic study for suggesting normalization and developmental direction of the biased recognition on street dance and for establishing a systematic theory, it aims to survey difference in recognition between street-dance majors and dance majors on street dance. For this, it surveyed concept recognition level, interest & experience appearance, and value recognition level on street dance targeting 171 street-dance majors and 163 dance majors, and examined major-based difference. The following conclusions were elicited.
First, as a result of examining recognition level of terminology for examining the concept recognition level of street dance, the street-dance majors were indicated(p＜.001) to have the lower concept recognition level than the dance majors. In case of dance majors, even the term recognition on the detailed genre in street dance was indicated(p＜.001) to be lower than the street-dance majors. Second, as a result of examining recognition level on characters of street dance for examining the concept recognition level of street dance, both groups were indicated to be the highest in a case of recognizing that ‘it is dance art.’ However, the recognition level on characters of street dance was indicated(p＜.001) to have difference by major. Third, as a result of examining the appearance of having experience on street dance, in case of dance majors, only 79 people(48.5) were indicated to have experience. The appearance of having experience on street dance by major was indicated(p＜.001) to have difference by major. Fourth, as a result of examining the appearance of having an interest in street dance, the street-dance majors’ interest was indicated to be higher. An interest in street dance was indicated(p＜.001) to have significant difference by major. Fifth, as a result of examining the value recognition on necessity of street-dance education in the dance education, both groups were indicated to recognize as saying of being necessary. However, the street-dance majors’ value recognition was indicated to be higher(p＜.001). Sixthly, as a result of examining the individual value, artistic value, social value, and cultural value on street dance, both groups were indicated to have high value recognition level. However, the street-dance majors’ recognition was indicated(p＜.001) to be higher than the dance majors’ recognition. Synthesizing the above conclusions, the major-based difference was shown in concept recognition, interest & experience, and value recognition level on street dance. Thus, to straighten an bad effect that street dance is delivered and transformed by wrong terminology, the education of theory is considered to likely need to be further reinforced in the actual condition for the current education of centering on practical skill. An effort for normalizing recognition of terminology on street dance was analyzed to be imminent through mass communication and relevant books.
