A study of the relationship between dance, ceremomonialism and politics in Indonesia is always interesting. The presence of dance in ceremonialism has a long history in Indonesian political culture. Since the time of the Majapahit kingdom, this has occurred in a pattern of political communication expressed through the appearance of King Hayam Wuruk when he danced in an official meeting in the palace. This fact is revealed from the ancient literature of Negara Kertagama which writes of the greatness of king Hayam Wuruk when he was a dancer in a performance at the palace. This fact seems to be a unique phenomenon in the kingdoms that followed until the Islamic Mataram kingdom was divided into the kingdoms of Surakarta and Yogyakarta eventhough until it increasingly colored colonial politics in the pre-independence era. Entering the post-independence era, the reality of the phenomenon became more explicit when the New Order created the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah monument with the spirit of "wawasan nusantara". Eventually the ceremonial and political patterns are represented in the identity of the various provincial miniatures in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Garden of Indonesia Miniatur). This in turn became a new pattern of dance presentation forms in the Presidential Palace, which duplicated various regional dances from various provinces in Indonesia. This article will study this phenomenon with an ethnochoreological approach as a multilayered discipline. Ethnochoreology views dance as a cultural product. From ethnocoreological perspective, this article discusses the relationship pattern of dance presentation in a ceremonalism periodically.

A problem at three elementary schools in an Appalachian state was that some or all instructors were struggling to implement differentiated instruction in the classroom. Because differentiation is a research-based best practice, teachers should be consistently using this strategy to meet the varying needs found within the inclusive classroom. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate perceptions of third- and fourth-grade teachers on their knowledge, implementation, and selfassessment of using differentiated instruction in classrooms in three elementary schools in one Appalachian state. The two research questions that guided this study asked how third- and fourth-grade teachers used differentiation to support all students and what perceived opportunities and struggles these teachers believed affected their ability to implement this strategy. Nine out of the 14 third- and fourth-grade inclusive teachers who volunteered were asked to participate in semistructured phone interviews and lesson plan analysis. Data were hand coded and analyzed using a spreadsheet to look for reoccurring categories and themes. Six themes emerged within the collected qualitative data to include ability grouping, technology, planning for differentiated instruction, professional supports, lack of training, and instructional support. With the findings, specific professional development was created to help the teacher more consistently use differentiation in the classroom. This study has positive social change implications because it might lead to a stronger administrator and teacher understanding of the perceived uses of differentiation as well as the perceived opportunities and struggles to fully implement the strategy.
