Abstract

Therefore, instructor’s leadership is judged to be an important factor in dance education. As an example of the Pygmalion, leaders in modern days are also required to help people getting opportunities and achieving their own expected goals. Recently, the Pygmalion effect has been used not only in education, but also in various fields such as business management and medical care. In education, expectations of instructors toward students has been proven to be correlated to learning efficiency and results of study. However, little research has been done on the theoretical use of Pygmalion leadership in profession of dance. It is necessary to study the applicability of Pygmalion Leadership in dance education since the leadership style of dance education can greatly influence learners’ performance outcome. Pygmalion effects refers to cases when one improves and achieves satisfying results by using self-fulfilling prophecy based on other’s expectations and care, and the field of education has utilized this sufficiently. This study aims to extend the usage of Pygmalion leadership that was often used in psychology, pedagogy, and business administration, and seek for ways to apply theory to the field of dance education.
