The aid of ChatGPT to dance education: a theoretical exploration based on TPACK

ABSTRACT

This in-depth exploration delves into the transformative possibilities of integrating ChatGPT into the realm of dance education. Examining its roles as a learning ally, creative mentor, knowledge transmitter, and perceptual guide within the unique context of dance instruction, the study navigates through the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. It showcases how ChatGPT can elevate teaching efficiency, provide real-time feedback on dance movements, kindle artistic curiosity, and extend emotional support to students. While emphasizing its positive impact, the study also acknowledges potential risks, underscoring the irreplaceable role of educators in guiding students on effective ChatGPT utilization, ensuring it complements the nuanced aspects of dance education. The supporting framework presented highlights the dynamic synergy between ChatGPT, educators, and students, promising a more engaging and enriched dance education experience.
