This is a study to verify useability of a C-R(Criterion-referenced)Test for fundamental motions of ballet.
Subjects of this study were 15 dancers who were recognized by novice, mediterian, and expert in ballet. Testers of this study were 83 college students who were either major in dance (including Korean dance, modern dance, and ballet) or major in physical education.
Results of this study indicated as follows:
1. The C-R test was reliable to evaluate levels of fundamental motions of ballet for only person who has experienced in dance such as ballet, Korean dance, and modern dance. However, it was not suitable for a person who did not possess any experience in dance
2. There was a significant statistical difference of the plie test in the group of novice between first test and second test[t(1325)=-3.974, p=0.0001]. However, there were no statistical differences in the test-retest analysis among the variables such as jumping and turning motions.
3. There was a significant difference in novice group to compare mean scores of the average group and that of expert group.
1) Results of the Scheffe Post hoc test for comparison of mean scores among the sub-major indicate that significant differences were existed between testers majoring in physical education and those in dance(df=905, MSB=3.2059, Critical Value of F=2.61474).
2) Error rate of testers by major area was investigated by Discriminant Analysis. The results indicated that difference of Prior Probability was significant by testers majoring in physical education and contemporary dance.
3) Squared distance by major areas for Plie was significantly different among those in major of Korean traditional dance, contemporary dance, and ballet.
4. Body segments that involved in a motion were usable to verify testee's error or mistakes during their performance. Involvement of body segment was differ from the novice group[F(5,905)=38.35, p=0.0001], the average group(F(5,905)=28.29, p=0.0001]. and expert group[F(5,905)=23.38, p=0.0001].
