ABSTRACT

This study examines Gert Biesta's educational discussions on education and learning, explores the value of art education, and further suggests the legitimacy of dance education, focusing on the existential educational aspect of the pursuit of subjectification that he emphasizes. Biesta criticizes the current educational approach in which learners understand and give meaning to the world, and proposes educational alternatives in which the world outside the learner approaches students as the center, talks to them, and make a requests of them. Biesta's educational philosophy challenges dance education approaches by emphasizing the essential value of dance as a whole practice, not just a functional addition. The dance experience becomes a place for the expression of subjectivity that emerges from how to exist ‘in’ the world and ‘together’ with the world, a moment to receive unexpected gifts, and the realization of existential education, rather than simply being the result of educational cultivation.
