摘要

The purpose of this study is to discuss possibilities and limits of Japanese bon-dance in Akita learning with using digital contents. Research methods are the evaluation way from students (Takahashi et a1., 1994) and questionnaires, and the object of my research is 56 numbers of students at Akita Univ. who take the class that physical activities for elementary level. In this research, after learning one common bon-dance (Kakumagawa), students could choice one from 5bon-dances as group activities with DVD consists of digital contents captured by three-dimensional motion capture system. Findings of this research said that 60％ of learners had positive impression about this kinds of learning experience, and especially it is high score about result, how to learn and cooperation factor through the evaluation methods from students. From this view point, students recognized that the learning with using DVD consists of digital contents had a good points for making sure movements of bon-dance in general and in repeat and they also recognized it as effective tools be facilitated with independent learning and group learning. In addition, through questionnaires it was clear that the students recognized it contributed to confirm choreography, flow of movement, shape, relationship between music and movement, it means how to think the movement objectively. On the other hand, there was 7％ negative and 33％neutral impression. They thought it was hard to understand bon-dance movement through the learning with DVD without leadership by the person who had already had some experiences of the bon-dance and known choreography of it, and they felt some difficulty about preparation before use it and actually use the DVD. And it was clear that they felt they didn’t know kinesthetic sense and some view points to move well, it means how to think the movement subjectivity and authentically, through questionnaires. From those facts, it suggests that the learning with DVD consists of digital contents support the basic, general movement learning, and to learn authentically at group learning, they need to be independent learner or to learn with some leader who already know about that movement, how to move not only objectively but also subjectively, can recognize movement well from pictures and who have high skilled as independent learner．
