Abstract

A system of social, self-direction was implemented to address best-practices in online learning to allow students to "lead" in the teaching and learning dance, while also gaining course knowledge. The purpose of this study was to determine the self-perceived learning gains that occurred as a result of the model implementation. A self-rated pre-test/post-test design was utilized with 112 subjects, with other qualitative data source triangulation. The model was found to facilitate significant learning gains, while attending to university guidelines and course requirements.
