Most of the researchers in creative dance were full-time teachers who, with or without a professional dance background, made efforts to solve practical problems in their work by conducting action research in their classes. This panel discusses this trend of "teachers as researchers" by investigating how teacher-researchers have brought related elements of creative dance into Taiwanese schools. First, Dr. Wu reviewed 30 Master's theses that employed action research as the primary research method to investigate the implementation of creative dance in schools in Taiwan under the construct of the Nine-year Curriculum. She analyzed their rationales and purposes; the spiraling cycles of action research, which are planning, acting, observing, and reflecting; and research findings.
