裕固族学校舞蹈教育发展刍议——以乡土教材《裕固族舞蹈》为中心

On Development of Dance Education in Yugur Schools——Focusing on Indigenous Textbook of Yugur Dance

当前包括舞蹈教育在内的艺术教育已得到国家教育行政部门前所未有的重视和支持,然而在人口较少民族——裕固族聚居区的学校教育中却存在一种显性矛盾,即一方面儿童青少年对艺术教育的需求较为强烈,希望能通过教育习得发挥能歌善舞的"艺术特长",另一方面是学校及社区对艺术类科目教学的价值贬低和随意安排。乡土教材《裕固族舞蹈》的出版,不仅仅是一本为了发展民族艺术和传承民族文化的乡土教材编竣问世,还是裕固族聚居区教育变迁和文化自觉的象征。

Art education, including dance education, has received unprecedented attention and support from the departments of national educational administration. However, in the community of Yugur, one of ethnic minorities with small populations, there is obvious contradiction in school education： on the one hand, children and teenagers have relatively strong demand for art education through which they hope to acquire and play out their artistic skills in singing and dancing; on the other hand, the school and community devalue and arrange the teaching of art subjects casually and irregularly. The publication of textbook Yugur Dance is not only a compilation of an indigenous textbook for the development of ethnic art and inheritance of national culture, but it also symbolizes edueational change and cultural self-consciousness of the Yugur people.
