SUMMARY:MotionTales: Enhancing Creative Physical Expression in Elementary 
 Education
DESCRIPTION:Educator's Forum\n\nSatomi Tokida and Yuta Itoh (University of
  Tokyo), Masanori Kayano (University of Yamanashi), and Yoshio Ishiguro (U
 niversity of Tokyo)\n\nThe expressive movement activities in Japanese elem
 entary education aim to help students express their emotions and thoughts 
 through physical movement. Traditionally, teachers select themes for expre
 ssive movement from daily life and guide students, but it is challenging t
 o employ a standardized approach to fostering children's creativity. Conse
 quently, instructional methods often rely on the teacher's subjective judg
 ment. This reliance hinders the development of children's creativity and e
 motional expression while imposing a significant burden on teachers. We pr
 opose StoryDanceMR, an educational tool integrating expressive movement ac
 tivities with storytelling. This system uses a normal RGB camera and a pro
 jector to capture students' gestures and visualize them on a screen using 
 particle effects, and promotes creative improvisational expression. By emp
 loying interactive visualizations of diverse story-based movements, we aim
  to enhance a variety of physical movements to express emotions and though
 ts. A user study in a Japanese elementary school has demonstrated that Sto
 ryDanceMR increases student engagement in lessons and improves creative ex
 pression skills from both physical and linguistic perspectives. Additional
 ly, it provides teachers with a consistent instructional framework, potent
 ially enhancing educational quality. It integrates physical and intellectu
 al activities, offering a new approach to storytelling and dance education
  in elementary schools.\n\nRegistration Category: Enhanced Access, Full Ac
