A Quantitative Study of Dance Teaching and Students’ Aesthetic Ability Development in the Framework of Aesthetic Education

With the deepening of today’s education reform, the development of students’ aesthetic ability is becoming more and more an important part of the education system, and dance teaching, as an indispensable part of the cultivation of aesthetic ability, is receiving more and more attention. This study takes students majoring in preschool education in colleges and universities as the research object, integrates dance teaching in music courses, conducts a questionnaire survey research, and then conducts research on the characteristics of the dance teaching mode under aesthetic education, studies the relationship of the factors between the survey object and the school dance teaching in terms of the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis, and further analyzes the factors influencing the development of the aesthetic ability of the students. After the analysis, it can be concluded that the place of residence has the main influence on the development of students’ aesthetic abilities, despite the individual differences of students. The integration of art courses and dance courses in schools, the degree of attention of dance teachers to students’ aesthetic ability in dance teaching, the development of dance club activities in schools, students’ participation in club activities, and the cultural atmosphere of dance on campus had high correlations with students’ aesthetic ability, with the highest correlation value of 0.412** for art courses. From the multiple regression analysis to explore the development of art courses and students’ aesthetic ability, it can be seen that the school is the main influencing factor in cultivating the development of students’ aesthetic ability towards dance, so the school should improve the content of art and culture courses and focus on the development of students’ aesthetic ability. © 2024 Yuan Zhu, published by Sciendo.
