DUBROVNIK – Drama for Educators

Location: Dubrovnik, Croatia

Implement Drama & Increase Student Involvement in Class

In a typical class, students often are required to use their receptive skills more than their productive skills. Educators tend to base their teaching on textbooks or worksheets, leaving little time for creative experiences. Meanwhile, drama techniques, also known as drama strategies, are perceived as everyday tools of the creative teacher. They help to develop speaking skills and implement understanding and creativity in the classroom. They can enhance performance skills and be used to actively involve students in their learning.

Encourage Creativity And Boost Motivation

As lack of student engagement is a significant challenge for teachers, implementing drama-based lessons may enhance student learning through increased engagement and motivation in class activities. This is also tied to improvements in student behavior, improved
learning outcomes, and greater respect for the rights of others.

Generate Positive Impact on Multiple Levels

High levels of student engagement can also reduce early school leaving.
Introducing drama-based techniques has a positive effect on teachers, as well; scientists found that low engagement is a contributing factor in teacher burnout and that increasing engagement can both reduce teacher burnout and improve teacher self-efficacy.
