Abstract

Abstract The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of an interdisciplinary program of Greek folk dance, with topics from history and geography on Middle School students’ goal orientation and anxiety level. The sample consisted of 260 students (134 boys & 126 girls). The experimental group (n=144) followed the interdisciplinary four-week program (two lessons per week) while the control group (n=126) followed the corresponding typical physical education program. For the data collection, the questionnaire used was the “Goal orientation” by Papaioannou, Milosis, Kosmidou, and Tsiggilis (2002) and the Greek version (Kakkos & Zervas, 1996) of “Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2” (Martens et al., 1990). The students filled in the questionnaires before and after their participating in each program. Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, and Repeated Measures ANOVA were used. Results showed that a. Cronbach’s alpha was satisfactory. b. Τhe experimental group decreased significantly the levels of “ego-strengthening” and “ego-protection”, and on the contrary significantly increase the “personal development”, and “social acceptance”. c. Experimental group’s boys and girls decreased their “ego-strengthening” and “ego-protection”, and enhanced their “personal development” and “social acceptance” more than their control group peers. d. The experimental group decreased the levels of somatic and cognitive anxieties and increased significantly their self-confidence. e. male students increased their self-confidence more than female students. These findings support the view that an interdisciplinary program of traditional Greek dance with issues from history and geography enable us to reduce the rates of ego-strengthening, ego-protection, somatic and cognitive anxiety while simultaneously increases students’ personal development, social acceptance, and self-confidence

跨学科希腊传统舞蹈课程对中学生目标取向和焦虑的影响

摘要本研究旨在探讨以历史和地理为主题的希腊民间舞蹈跨学科课程对中学生目标取向和焦虑水平的影响。样本包括260名学生(134名男生和126名女生)。实验组144人采用跨学科的4周课程(每周2节课)，对照组126人采用相应的典型体育课程。在数据收集方面，使用的问卷是Papaioannou、Milosis、Kosmidou和Tsiggilis(2002)的“目标取向”和希腊版的“竞争状态焦虑量表-2”(Kakkos & Zervas, 1996) (Martens et al.， 1990)。学生们在参加每个项目之前和之后都填写了问卷。采用描述性统计、信度分析和重复测量方差分析。结果表明，a. Cronbach’s alpha是令人满意的。B. Τhe实验组“自我强化”和“自我保护”水平显著降低，“个人发展”和“社会接受”水平显著提高。c.实验组男孩和女孩的“自我强化”和“自我保护”均明显低于对照组，“个人发展”和“社会接受”均明显高于对照组。d.实验组的躯体焦虑和认知焦虑水平下降，自信心显著增强。E.男生比女生更能增强自信心。这些发现支持了这样一种观点，即传统希腊舞蹈的跨学科课程与历史和地理问题相结合，使我们能够减少自我强化、自我保护、身体和认知焦虑的发生率，同时提高学生的个人发展、社会接受度和自信心

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
