Abstract

This article explores the dynamic prospects and challenges that arise in digital-based dance assessment. In an era where digital technology is increasingly integrated in various aspects of life, dance is undergoing a significant transformation, particularly in terms of assessment and evaluation. This research aims to identify and analyze how technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensorbased movement analysis, and virtual reality, can provide new methods of objective and detailed dance assessment. Through a qualitative approach involving interviews with dance professionals, analysis of relevant literature, and case studies, this article reveals how technology can support and enrich dance assessment practices. The results show that while digital-based technologies offer the possibility of more precise and in-depth assessment, aspects such as artistic interpretation and the uniqueness of dance expressions cannot always be effectively measured with digital methods. This article contributes to the discussion on the integration of technology in dance by highlighting the importance of finding a balance between the utilization of technology and the preservation of aesthetic and traditional values in dance. In conclusion, while digital technology has great potential in dance assessment, there needs to be awareness and strategies to overcome its limitations in order to maintain the integrity of dance.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of cultural approaches through the integration oftraditional dance in the teaching of Indonesian as a Foreign Language (BIPA) at Hebei ForeignStudies University (HISU), China. The primary focus is on the use of Jathilan (a traditional Javanesedance) and Betawi dance as instructional media to foster cultural awareness and enhance languageskills among international learners. This qualitative case study involved data collection throughdirect observation of both online and offline learning sessions, as well as in-depth interviews withBIPA instructors and participants actively involved in the dance-based learning process. Thefindings indicate that the incorporation of traditional dance significantly boosts learners’motivation, deepens their understanding of Indonesian culture, and creates an inclusive andparticipatory classroom environment. Active involvement in dance practice also strengthensstudents’ emotional and cognitive engagement in language learning. A key element in the success ofthis program is the collaboration between Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ) and HISU through aninternational community service initiative. The study concludes that performing arts-based culturalapproaches offer an innovative pedagogical strategy for BIPA instruction and serve as an effectivetool for Indonesia’s cultural diplomacy on the global stage.

Abstract

This study aims to introduce dance learning media using Augmented Reality with Movement Literacymaterial based on Laban Notation symbols for junior high school students. The background of thestudy is based on the low interest of students in learning dance and difficulties in understanding theelements of space, time, and energy due to the limitations of conventional media that are not inaccordance with the characteristics of the digital generation. The method used is research anddevelopment (R&D) with initial stages including needs analysis, product design, productdevelopment, implementation through limited trials, and product evaluation. The product developedis an Augmented Reality (AR) application that presents movement literacy based on Laban Notationin an interactive 3D form, so that students can learn movement visually, kinesthetically, andreflectively. Initial results based on needs analysis and the designed product show that theapplication is considered interesting, easy to use, and helps understand basic dance movements, andis in accordance with the characteristics of students in the digital era. Teachers gave positiveresponses to the potential of this media as a supporter of deep learning that is conscious, meaningful,and enjoyable. Thus, it is hoped that the AR-Motion Literacy application can be an innovativealternative in dance learning, especi

Abstract

This article explores the intricate relationship between critical thinking, creativity, difference, andintellectual freedom within the context of art education and the philosophy of art. Through aphilosophical-aesthetic approach grounded in critical reflection, this study discusses howquestioning, opposing, and challenging norms can function as both methods of critical inquiry andexpressions of creativity. It emphasizes that creativity is not confined to unconscious inspiration orchildlike spontaneity, but emerges through disciplined thought, lived experiences, and reflectiveengagement with cultural traditions. The paper highlights the role of tacit knowledge in traditionaldance, where creative acts are embedded in embodied practices and collective memory.Furthermore, it examines how dance serves as a metaphor for freedom, offering possibilities forartistic resistance and renewal beyond conventional boundaries. Art education, in this framework,is not merely the transfer of artistic skills, but a transformative space where critical consciousnessand imaginative capacities are cultivated. With the integration of the principles of difference,plurality, and independence of mind, educators and learners are encouraged to transcend binarythought structures and hierarchical traditions. The findings of this research affirm that fosteringcritical and creative thinking is essential to producing innovative and socially meaningful artisticpractices

Abstract

Higher art education emphasizes theoretical mastery as a crucial foundation, yet many studentsstruggle to apply this knowledge in both criticism and creation. The persistent gap between 'knowing'and 'doing' remains a critical challenge in art pedagogy, often hindering learning outcomes. Thisarticle proposes a structured pedagogical model designed to bridge this divide. By synthesizingScaffolding Theory and Situated Learning Theory, the model presents a systematic four-stepframework: (1) theoretical deconstruction for deep comprehension, (2) methodological bridgingbetween theory and artistic objects, (3) dialogic operationalization through analytical frameworks,and (4) simulation and analytical design. This model is demonstrated through a case study applyingHomi K. Bhabha’s Cultural Hybridity Theory to Lenong Betawi, a traditional Indonesianperformance art. The proposed framework offers practical guidance for art educators to transformstudents’ passive theoretical knowledge into active analytical and creative competence. Itcontributes to the field of art pedagogy by integrating established educational theories into acoherent, actionable strategy for teaching theory application in art practice

Abstract

This Research and Development (R&D) study, conducted using the ADDIE model, focused on theAnalysis Phase to address the main learning barrier in Dance Arts in Junior High Schools (SMP):the high difficulty of Phase D students in understanding the Essence of Movement (space, time,energy) and the abstract Laban Notation symbols. Data collected from 20 students and 2 teachers inSerang City indicated an extreme level of difficulty in abstract concepts (85.5% - 87.0%), inverselyproportional to the students' strong interest (92.5%) and readiness for high-tech devices (95.0%) fordigital learning. The goal was to validate the urgency and specify the functional requirements of thesolution. The results confirmed the urgent need for instructional media capable of bridging theabstract (Laban symbols) with the kinesthetic (3D motion). These findings led to the FunctionalSpecifications of Augmented Reality (AR) Media - Motion Literacy. The AR media must specificallyvisualize the interactive and real-time relationship between Laban symbols and 3D motion elements.This AR media is expected to concretize abstract concepts, support the "Create" competency in theIndependent Curriculum, and enable meaningful and enjoyable in-depth learning for 21st-centurylearners. The study concludes with a development plan for the next Design and Development phase.

Abstract

This study analyzes dance as a medium of cultural acculturation through the creation of NandakZabet Tak-Tung, rooted in the Betawi cultural framework. It focuses on adapting Zapin and Samrahmovements to represent Arab-Malay Peranakan heritage, while exploring interdisciplinaryconnections with music, scenography, and other artistic elements. The research employs a qualitativemethod with systematic stages: defining focus, collecting data via direct observation, in-depthinterviews, and document analysis. Data are organized into a structured matrix to supportinterpretation.The theoretical foundation draws from Alma M. Hawkins’ creative concept in Moving from Within,translated by I Wayan Dibia, encompassing six aspects: experiencing, seeing, feeling, imagining,transforming, and forming. These guide the choreographic process, resulting in a work thatreconfigures Zapin and Samrah into a dynamic structure emphasizing movement exploration andembodiment.Through imaginative choreography inspired by local traditions, the study proposes the use of ArabMalay Peranakan-based movement to enrich Betawi dance. It contributes to the preservation andinnovation of Indonesian performing arts by integrating cultural heritage with contemporaryexpression. Ultimately, this research supports the advancement of knowledge, technology, and sociocultural development within a humanistic and locally grounded artistic landscape.

Abstract

Amidst the pressures of globalization, schools often struggle to balance the demand for globalcompetencies with the preservation of local culture. In music education, the dominance of a Westerncentric curriculum can alienate students from their own musical traditions. This paper utilizes aliterature review method to analyze how an ethnomusicological approach, grounded in localwisdom, can serve as a pedagogical alternative to strengthen students' cultural identity. Bysynthesizing various studies, we argue that local wisdom (which includes the social context, function,and philosophy of music) should be the core of learning, not just supplementary material. Theanalysis suggests that engaging students with music from their own cultural environment has thepotential to support identity formation in three aspects: personal (connecting with heritage),collective (strengthening a sense of community), and intercultural (understanding other culturesthrough the lens of one's own). We conclude that applying this approach could shift the function ofthe music classroom from a mere technical training space to one of cultural dialogue. The practicalimplication points to the need to review curriculum design and teacher training to be more orientedtowards local cultural contexts, in order to foster students who have a deep understanding of theirown roots while being open to the world.

Abstract

This article aims to identify and classify the mask collections at the Mpu Tantular StateMuseum, Sidoarjo, as a visual narrative of the cultural richness of East Java and itssurrounding regions. Through in-depth identification activities conducted from September17–19, 2025, the mask collections were classified into three main variants based on regions:Topeng Malang (Malang Masks), Topeng Madura (Madura Masks), and some other regionalmasks.The Malang mask collection, the most numerous collection, represents the epic tale ofPanji Asmorobangun. Its characteristic features include symmetrical, refined carvings andthe use of philosophical colors. The green color shown by Panji symbolizes chivalry andtranquility, contrasting sharply with the fiery red possessed by Klana Sewandana, whichrepresents anger. The faded colors on the ancient masks emphasize their inherent historicaland spiritual gravitas and value as evidence of the preservation of this noble art form.The Madura mask collection, associated with the Madura’s puppet maskperformances, displays characters that reflect the resilience of the community from theMadura island, also known as the salt island. Their characteristics are simpler but firm, hard,and expressive (such as bulging eyes or fangs), implying a strong fighting spirit andstraightforward demeanor.The other regional masks group completes the Nusantara (an archipelago country)mosaic, including collections from Cirebon (such as the White Elephant mask), Yogyakarta,as well as the Sandur mask (from Jombang/ Tuban) and the Dongkrek mask (from Madiun).The presence of these masks from outside the immediate region confirms East Java’s culturalconnection and acculturation with the wider archipelago.Overall, the mask collection at the Mpu Tantular museum functions as a "spiritualwindow" that reflects the contrast and unity of values, ranging from the agrarian idealism(Malang) to the coastal fighting spirit (Madura). These artifacts are an invaluable treasurethat ensures moral philosophy and local wisdom continue to live on as an educationalmedium for future generations.
