Self esteem- and Drama in Education

 The Development of Drama  Education with Reference to its Application in Self–Esteem  

Summary

The lineage of Drama as an active learning method will be traced from the beginning of this century.  This sets the context in which Drama in Education evolved.    In this study I will review its use as a form of interactive collaboration and the development of models of drama from the personal to the social.

Connections to theories of socio-dramatic play will be illustrated. Developments in the role of the teacher and views on interventionist play will be described. Techniques and styles of drama will be examined, from Psychodrama to Drama for free-expression and Drama for personal development. More recent developments in Drama in Education will be reviewed, particularly teacher-as-participant type drama, which changed the educational purpose and dynamic into a heuristic social voyage in search of meaning.

Purpose: To introduce the group to Teacher in Role and Group in Role strategies

Working AS a group as well as IN a group.

Introductory Session

Approach: Interactive Playing, out of role, to socialise the group
Guiding principle: Using whole group extravert (working unselfconsciously in a group, individual focus- diverging out to the group) and whole group introvert (working as a group, social focus, converging on a concern).




Working in a group
· Pairs introduction. Introduce yourself to the person beside you. One minute each. Tell back to that person what you have heard. Then find another couple and introduce your partner to them.
