Reflection on Task 4a

After talking to friends and colleagues at the dance school and infant/ nursery school I am currently working at about my lines of enquiry, it has created further questions such as;

-       Does the introduction of dance, music and movement at a young age develop self- confidence?

-       Does it support them with their social skills?

-       Can it help in raising achievement in other subjects such as Literacy and Numeracy?

-       Does it help with behaviour?

-       Is this a way of really engaging children in active learning?

-       Does it develop their listening skills?

I have also come to realize that giving feedback to professionals about their individual performance in the performing world is similar to working with young children in that everyone enjoys being praised and positive feedback. However to progress or improve on the performance I still have further questions;

-       Is it better to coach whilst sharing a video of their performance?

-       Is it more effective to have peer to peer reviews of each other?

-       Would performers rather get critical feedback with ways forward?

I look forward to other peoples comments who have similar interests.
