This study aims to explore the educational meaning of digital media-based art play as experienced by pre-service early childhood teachers. To this end, a digital media-integrated art play course was conducted over eight weeks with 39 students enrolled in the advanced major course on ‘Creative Art Education’ in the Department of Early Childhood Education at a university located in the Seoul metropolitan area. Reflective journals and project outcomes were collected and qualitatively analyzed. Through open coding, meaningful units were identified, and core themes were derived by integrating and categorizing similar concepts. The analysis revealed that participants experienced: (1) the reduction of psychological distance from digital media and the development of confidence, (2) recognition of creative expression and immersive engagement, (3) awareness of the potential for integration between art and digital media, and (4) a shift in their willingness to apply digital tools in educational settings. These findings suggest that engaging in digital media-based art play contributes effectively to the enhancement of digital receptivity, integrative thinking, and creative instructional design competencies in pre-service early childhood teachers. This study offers practical implications for designing digital convergence curricula tailored to teacher preparation programs in early childhood education.

The purpose of this study is to understand the essence of the meaning of local and entrepreneurship experienced by young people through startup. To this end, 10 young entrepreneurship experiencers in Y City, which is classified as a region in danger of population extinction, were selected as informants, and semi-structured interviews data were collected and categorized. As a result of the study, the essential themes of entrepreneurship experience were derived as understanding of the environment, limitations of the local, solidarity, and hope. The meaning experienced by local young entrepreneurs was first confirmed as a process in which young people with low self-esteem grow as entrepreneurs. Second, from a market perspective, based on the changed perception of the local, while experiencing business limitations, implications for the current youth entrepreneurship policy were suggested. Third, the necessary operational methods were suggested to activate local youth entrepreneurship based on understanding and solidarity.

This study analyzes technical and artistic challenges and structural limitations of collaboration between artificial intelligence (AI) and orchestras, focusing on musicians’ experiences. Based on case studies of performances by the Gimpo Philharmonic Orchestra and Gunpo Prime Philharmonic Orchestra, this research uses on-site observations and in-depth interviews with participants, including musicians, to examine specific constraints in technological implementation, difficulties in emotional expression, and the structural limitations restricting artists' creative interventions. Findings reveal that current collaborative frameworks structurally limit artists' ability to express interpretations and emotions effectively, highlighting the ongoing gap between technology and art identified in C.P. Snow’s "Two Cultures" theory. Consequently, the study underscores the necessity for designing artist-centered collaborative structures and establishing appropriate technological and institutional foundations to enhance musicians' creativity and to make AI-integrated orchestral performances a sustainable artistic practice. Finally, this study proposes practical directions for reconstructing collaborative frameworks, suggesting the possibility of a novel technological-artistic collaboration model that respects and fosters artistic creativity.

This qualitative study explored the educational implications of a Problem Based Learning (PBL) based Dance Education Course for pre service physical education teachers. A total of 24 undergraduate students majoring in physical education at a university in the Seoul metropolitan area participated in the study. Data were collected immediately after the course through seven open ended, written response questions and analyzed using inductive content analysis. The results revealed five major educational outcomes: enhancement of self directed learning, expansion of expressive and creative competencies, development of collaboration and communication skills, emotional growth through reflective practice and the broadening of digital literacy. The integration of dance a performance centered activity and the PBL approach provided participants with meaningful experiences in lesson planning, creative problem solving and identity formation as future educators. These experiences enabled students to move beyond technical skill acquisition and begin to develop as autonomous and reflective practitioners capable of designing and implementing their own lessons. The study offers practical implications for curriculum development in physical education, particularly in the teaching and learning of expressive activities and the professional preparation of pre service teachers.

This study presents a case of community-engaged mobile performing arts jointly conducted by a regional university and local institutions in H Province, K-do, South Korea. Focusing on the planning and implementation of the music-reading theater Eternal Friends - Zelkova Tree Wind, the study qualitatively analyzes the emotional, educational, and social effects of performing arts in the context of community-based cultural welfare. The performance toured 11 sites―including silver colleges, nursing homes, day care centers, and facilities for people with developmental disabilities―from May to November 2023, utilizing a mobile stage system. Faculty and students from the Department of Acting at S University participated in all aspects of the performance production. Using a qualitative case study method, data were collected from 12 participants―including performance staff, beneficiaries, and welfare practitioners― through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, field records, and planning notes. The data were analyzed using Spradley’s domain analysis. The results revealed the following: First, the performance employed autobiographical narrative structures and familiar musical elements, allowing elderly audiences to emotionally immerse themselves and recall personal memories. Second, the performance functioned as a space for emotional release and psychological comfort not only for elderly and disabled audiences but also for welfare professionals. Third, participating students internalized their identities as artists and civic actors and experienced the public value of arts education. Fourth, the viability of the mobile stage system and the flexibility of localized performance planning were confirmed, positioning the project as a practical model for reducing regional cultural disparities. This study presents a community-based public art model that integrates performing arts, cultural welfare, and arts education, offering implications for future cultural policy development and the expanded social responsibility of regional universities.

This study examines the influence of ballet instructors’ Online Communication Competence (OCC) on their job satisfaction and perceived teaching outcomes in virtual learning environments. As digital transformation continues to reshape educational settings, the use of online platforms and digital tools has become widespread. However, maintaining effective interaction remains a notable challenge in practice-based dance instruction. To address this, the present study conceptualizes OCC through four key dimensions: digital tool utilization, interaction facilitation, nonverbal communication delivery, and instructional clarity. A nationwide survey was conducted among ballet instructors affiliated with universities, private dance academies, cultural institutions, and freelance programs. Based on the collected responses, multiple regression analyses were performed. The results showed that all four dimensions of OCC had statistically significant positive effects on both job satisfaction and perceived teaching outcomes. Notably, digital tool utilization and interaction facilitation emerged as the most influential predictors. These findings indicate that OCC plays a critical role in enhancing instructors’ experiences and instructional effectiveness in remote ballet education. Accordingly, the implementation of structured training programs to develop ballet instructors' digital communication capabilities is strongly recommended.

This study aimed to investigate the parenting stress levels of working mothers and their current use of music in daily life, as well as to examine their perceptions of music as a tool for managing parenting stress. An online survey was conducted through a community platform targeting working mothers, and responses from a total of 117 participants were analyzed. The results showed that parenting stress among working mothers was above average. In terms of music use, participants primarily listened to their preferred music using smart devices while commuting, mainly for mood regulation. When examining music use based on emotional states, music listening was common both when participants felt happy and when they felt depressed, whereas singing and playing instruments were more frequently reported when participants felt happy. Furthermore, the group with higher parenting stress showed a significantly greater recognition of music as a stress management tool compared to the group with lower stress. Regarding the purpose of music use, those with higher stress primarily used music for stress relief, while those with lower stress used it mainly for self-care, indicating a significant difference between the groups. This study provides foundational data for developing music-based programs aimed at managing parenting stress among working mothers by exploring their patterns of music use and related perceptions.

This study analyzed the impact of Korean traditional dance instructors’ creative competencies on job satisfaction and job engagement, based on the Componential Theory of Creativity. Creative competencies were composed of four sub-factors: expertise, creative thinking, intrinsic motivation, and flexibility. Job satisfaction was divided into intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction, while job engagement was categorized into behavioral engagement and emotional engagement. This theory emphasizes the importance of intrinsic motivation, individual expertise, and environmental factors in the manifestation of creativity. Guided by this framework, the study explored the relationships between creative competencies, job satisfaction, and job engagement. A survey was conducted nationwide among Korean traditional dance instructors, and the collected data were analyzed using correlation and multiple regression analyses. Results indicated that creative competencies had a positive effect on all sub-factors of job satisfaction and job engagement. Notably, creative thinking and intrinsic motivation strongly influenced intrinsic satisfaction and behavioral engagement, while extrinsic satisfaction also showed a significant positive correlation with creative competencies. The positive impact of creative competencies on emotional engagement was closely related to the development of emotional attachment to the organization. This study suggests that fostering creativity among instructors in dance education significantly contributes to their job attitudes. Therefore, institutional support for developing creative competencies in Korean traditional dance instructors is necessary. Creativity-centered teaching methods, workshops, and mentoring programs can serve as effective strategies to enhance job satisfaction and engagement. The findings of this study empirically demonstrate the organizational value of creativity in the fields of dance studies and arts education.
