ABSTRACT

This study investigates the current state of qualitative research and academic writing from articles inThe Korean Journal of Dance Studies, Dance Research Journal of Korea, Korea Journal of DanceDocumentation, Research of Dance Education, Dance Research Journal (DRJ), Dance Chronicle:Studies of Dance and Related Arts (DC), Journal of Dance Education (JODE) from 2009 to 2013. Of873 research articles, 70 qualitative studies articulate research methods, data collection methods, dataanalysis methods, reflection on research process, methods of validation, and methods of ethical issuetreatment. In addition, I examine the academic writing styles, focusing on research title, expressionsreferring to the researcher(s), and reflections on researchers themselves. The analysis of qualitative studymethods suggests that Korean and American dance scholarships are more or less similar. The analysis ofacademic writing styles suggests that American dance scholarship shows relatively higher percentage ofqualitative writing characteristics in the all three areas.
