Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a measuring tool for the dance career interest scale. According to the research by Kim, Yoon, and Kim (2020), the concepts and preliminary items were retrieved, and the items were then screened with experts through auditing. A survey was conducted with 549 dance students enrolled in 9 art high schools located in the metropolitan area, Chungcheong area, and Gyeongsang area. Reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were used to verify validity using SPSS and AMOS programs. Finally, The dance career interest was measured by a set of 51 questions divided into six categories.: ‘Creative,’ ‘Social,’ ‘Enterprising,’ ‘Conventional,’ ‘Realistic,’ and ‘Investigative’. The developed dance career interest scale can be used as basic data for career education and career expansion of dance majors.

Keywords:
