Sue Dechow Adviser Graduate Program in Art Education Copyright by Juju Masunah © 2008 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to identify the theories, definitions, goals, curricula, pedagogy, and practices of multicultural education, and its implications for dance education in Indonesia. Firstly, I review the literature of multicultural education theory and dance education in the United States. Secondly, I examine two dance educators and their application of multicultural education through structured and unstructured interviews, participant observations, reflective journals, and document analyses. Lastly, I consider the context of education in Indonesia and how it might be served by adapting multicultural approaches used in the United States. The findings indicate that for elementary and middle school students, the curriculum of dance education taught through a multicultural pedagogy considers students’ lived experiences and dance forms from various cultures. This study concludes with a call for a multicultural dance education course to be taught in dance teacher education programs in Indonesia; a course grounded in an autobiographical method that promotes teachers’ self-awareness and self-critique as they become multicultural educators and agents for change. ii Dedicated to the memory of my mother, Reni iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My journey toward my doctorate degree at the Ohio State University (OSU) began in 2002 when I met Dr. Sue Dechow, Director of Research and International Development, OSU, while she was visiting the Indonesia University of Education (UPI) in Bandung for a partnership program. With Dr. Dechow’s guidance, I met Dr. Michael J. Parsons who became my advisor after I officially enrolled as a doctoral student in the Department of Art Education at OSU in the Spring Quarter, 2004. When Dr. Parsons became Professor Emeritus in 2006, Dr. Christine Ballengee-Morris officially became my adviser and mentor, guiding me to write and complete my dissertation. I am grateful to them for their generous guidance, encouragement, advice, and unique insights. I also wish to express my gratitude to my other committee members, Dr. James Sanders III and Dr. Melanye White Dixon, for their kind support and insightful suggestions. Most importantly, I wish to express my deep appreciation to Marlene Robbins, dance teacher at the Indianola Informal Alternative Elementary School, and Karen King- Cavin, dance teacher at the Arts IMPACT Middle School. They gave willingly of their time to share their thoughts and practice in teaching dance and provided valuable information. I wish to also thank the principals at both schools who made this study possible, and I thank the other teachers who kindly shared their thoughts with me. iv I acknowledge the UPI in Bandung, the Ford Foundation, and the School of Teaching and Learning in the College of Education and Human Ecology at OSU for funding my study. Lastly, I thank Rendila Restu Utami, my daughter, for her patience and love that helped me throughout this endeavor. v VITA May 17, 1963 Born, Majalengka, West Java, Indonesia 1986 Diploma Three at the Indonesia Academy of Dance in Bandung West Java, Indonesia 1989 Bachelor of Arts at the Indonesia Academy of Music in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia 1991 - 2000 Lecturer, Department of Theater, Dance, and Music (Sendratasik), Institute of Teacher Training and Educational Sciences in Bandung 1994 – 1997 Master of Humanities (Performing Arts Studies) Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia 1997 – 2003 Researcher and Leader of the Center for Research and Development of Arts Education (Traditional Performing Arts) Indonesia University of Education (UPI) in Bandung 2001 - present Assistant Professor at the Department of Theater, Dance, and Music, UPI in Bandung 2003 – 2008 Ford Foundation fellow, Art Education, The Ohio State University 2004 – 2008 Graduate Research Associate The Office of Research and International Development, School of Teaching and Learning, College of Education and Human Ecology, The Ohio State University vi SELECTED PUBLICATIONS Masunah, J.

  • SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): EDUCATION SECTOR1 Sector Road Map 1
    Advanced Knowledge and Skills for Sustainable Growth Project (RRP INO 50395) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): EDUCATION SECTOR1 Sector Road Map 1. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. As a middle-income country with the fourth largest higher-education system in the world in terms of the number of institutions and the sixth largest in terms of enrollment, Indonesia faces a distinctive set of challenges and opportunities not shared by smaller or wealthier systems. The huge size of the system allows for a rich level of diversity and necessitates atypical strategies and partnerships. It also makes governance, funding, and quality assurance difficult. 2. Characteristics of higher-education system. Indonesia’s higher-education system is characterized by diversification, scale, private provision, and an atypical governance system. Indonesia’s diversified higher-education system has five types of higher-education institutions; (HEIs) academies, polytechnics, Sekolah Tinggi (Schools of Higher Learning or colleges), institutes, and universities under a general and a religious stream. The general stream has an academic and a vocational sub-stream. The system offers 27,000 study programs at diploma or degree level. The Ministry of Research Technology and Higher Education (MORTHE) oversees the general and the Ministry of Religious Affairs the religious stream. Private providers enroll 73% of HEI students (the average for Asia is 35%) and manage 90% of HEIs (average for Asia: 60%).

    Bali 1928: Gamelan Gong Kebyar Music from Belaluan, Pangkung, Busungbiu 2 Introduction 6 A Sketch of the Time Period of these Recordings 11 Emergence of Kebyar 29 The Balinese Gamelan Recordings from Bali, 1928: a track–by–track discussion: 33 Gamelan Gong Kebyar of Belaluan, Denpasar 46 Gamelan Gong Kebyar of Pangkung, Tabanan 50 Gamelan Gong Kebyar of Busungbiu, Northwest Bali 57 List of Silent Archival Films 58 Acknowledgments 61 References Cited and Further Readings * Glossary on Separate PDF File1 1 The spellings in this article follow modernized Balinese orthography of dictionaries such as Kamus Bali Indonesia, by I Nengah Medera et.al. (1990). Although this system was proposed as early as 1972 it has been applied irregularly in writings on the arts, but we have chosen to adhere to it so as to reflect a closer relationship to actual Balinese aksara ‘letters of the alphabet, language’. For instance, many words with prefixes frequently spelled pe or peng are spelled here with the prefixes pa and pang. 1 Introduction These historic recordings were made in 1928 as part of a collection of the first and only commercially–released recordings of music made in Bali prior to World War II. This diverse sampling of new and older Balinese styles appeared on 78 rpm discs in 1929 with subsequent releases for international distribution. The records were sold worldwide (or not sold, as it happened) and quickly went out of print. It was a crucial time in the island’s musical history as Bali was in the midst of an artistic revolution with kebyar as the new dominant style of music.
