Psychological skills in ballet training: An approach to pedagogy for the fulfilment of student potential

Carattini, Carolyn Margaret (2020) Psychological skills in ballet training: An approach to pedagogy for the fulfilment of student potential. Professional Doctorate thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Ballet students can develop resilience, self-awareness, and artistic individuality through psychological skills that are practised in a social learning environment. When psychological skills are included in ballet training, teachers offer students opportunities for problem-solving and critical thinking that can lead to self-reliance. This research presents journaling, goal scaffolding, and the creation of cue words as psychological skills that teachers can include in their classes to promote student discovery, exploration, and reflection in dance. These activities assist students to take responsibility for their own learning so students might reach their full potential.
