Praxis II Physical Education Exam Prep

Category - Physical Education

Before introducing students to the basic steps used in an ethnic social dance, a teacher shows them a video of a performance featuring the dance that begins with a narrator outlining the story the dancers perform. The narration will most likely enhance students' understanding of dance as:
  1. Artistic and aesthetic expression.
  2. Movement that can convey meaning.
  3. An expression of personal feelings.
  4. An important part of theatrical productions.
Explanation
Correct Response: B. An important concept related to dance is that movement creates and communicates meaning; dances are often created to convey stories. A narration that explains the story conveyed in the dance would enhance students' understanding of this concept as they watch the performance. Understanding of artistic and aesthetic expression in dance (A) would most likely be best promoted by discussing principles of design. Discussing choreographic differences would be more likely to promote an understanding of dance as an expression of personal feelings (C). The role of dance in theatrical productions (D) would probably be best explored in the context of a theatrical performance.
