As parents are increasingly concerned about creativity education and how to teach children to grow into creative people, there is a growing concern for movement education as integrated education to foster creativity and sensitivity. Accordingly, integrated art education comes into spotlight. The benefit of such a movement education is to let students move their bodies to foster not only their motor skills but psychological abilities like intellectual ability, creativity and self- expression. Dalcroze Eurythmics, which is one of movement education, aims to teach students to gain musical experience and acquire and express the rhythmical elements of music through their bodies to improve emotional expressiveness and emotional intelligence. Studies of this approach attempted to find the best basic method of music education in the beginning and then have mostly been implemented in the field of music. As movement education that makes use of the body is being widely conducted as creativity education and as a means of physical expression, it seems necessary to make research in movement education. The purpose of this study was to examine the background of Dalcroze teaching method and the state of movement education based on it.
Art, music, dance and physical education are integrated in Dalcroze teaching method, and that can be regarded as creative movement education that helps learners to acquire musical experience through their sensibility and express through their bodies what they have experienced. There may be diverse directions for movement education that is based on this teaching method, but how to make use of it isn't yet known in detail. To remedy the situation, the development of programs is required, and in which way teaching activities should be implemented should be discussed.
