This study aims to identify the influence of creative dance on the physical self-concept of elementary students by examining the relationship between the creative dance and the physical self-concept. For this purpose this thesis did pre/post-inspections to 78 male/female students of A elementary school in Ahnyang with the questionnaire of verified validity and reliability. A teaching-learning plan of each activity was drawn from the creative dance program reorganized according to each instruction plan of a session, and the creative dance activity was performed. After the pre-inspection of both the experiment group and the controlling group, the creative dance programs were applied to the experiment group twice a week for 6 weeks, 12 set of each 40 minuet session during the regular physical education sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays from september to November, 2006 while the activities of the controlling group were limited to the regular education sessions under a physical specialist. After the post-inspection, an independent t-test was used to verify the difference of improvement between the two groups, and a paired t-test also was used to verify the average between the pre-inspection and the post-inspection. The results prove that the two groups were homogeneous in the pre-inspection with no significant difference between them(P<.05), and that there was a significant difference between the two groups for the factors such as creative dance competence, physical activities, and muscular strength(P<.05), but there was no significant difference for the factors such as body fat/slimness, appearance, health, self-respect, and flexibility.
