The purposes of this study were to 1. develop scaffolding learning activities to enhance choreography abilities for vocational students, 2. compare choreography abilities using the scaffolding learning activities between pre-test and post-test, and 3. study student satisfaction with the scaffolding learning activities. The sample comprised 40 first-year students from the dance art program at Jiangxi Transportation Vocational and Technical College during the first semester of 2024, chosen via simple random sampling. Research tools included 10 lesson plans based on a five-phase scaffolding model (goal setting, knowledge activation, collaborative practice, skill refinement, and autonomous performance evaluation); a choreography ability test measuring technical proficiency, creative expression, cultural authenticity, and overall performance; and 13 items satisfaction questionnaire. Data analysis employed percentages, means, standard deviations, and paired t-tests. The results showed that 1. the scaffolding learning activities received an average suitability score of 4.29 (S.D. = 0.40) from expert evaluation, indicating high appropriateness, 2. students had significantly higher choreography ability post-test (M = 60.00, S.D. = 5.07) than pre-test (M = 33.55, S.D. = 11.80), with t = 25.127, p < 0.001, and 3. overall student satisfaction was at a high level (M = 4.43, S.D. = 0.44). These findings highlight that scaffolding learning activities not only improves choreography skills and student engagement but also promotes creative autonomy and cultural appreciation among vocational students. Additionally, the study contributes to the advancement of culturally responsive education by integrating artistic creativity with the preservation and transmission of cultural heritage, thereby cultivating both technical excellence and a profound sense of cultural identity among students.
