Book synopsis

This investigation attempts to identify teaching §methods to motivate key stage 2 boys in dance. A §scheme of work was designed, implemented and taught §to the children in one year 3 class. The stimulus §used was the martial arts and computer games. The §study also explores why boys, teachers and society §have prejudices to dance and other subjects that are §perceived as feminine.§The report concludes that the martial arts were §successful in this study for the majority of §children especially the boys but a small number of §boys still had negative views about dance. This §suggests that they have very strong prejudices about §dance and what is perceived as feminine. §If boys are given a stimulus that they feel is not §feminine then they have no problem dancing in key §stage 2. It is the teachers, parents and society §that are prejudiced about dance not the children but §as our prejudices are passed on to the children, §then that what they learn. The study concludes that §teachers need to understand that boys will dance §differently to girls.
