Abstract:
Dramatization in education is the educational application of drama methods and stagecraft to enhance learning in many subjects. It is the deliberate use of role-play, improvisation, dialogue, movement and performance to involve students cognitively, emotionally, and socially in learning. Rather than being confined to the teaching of drama or theatre arts alone, dramatization is increasingly recognized as a cross-curricular instructional strategy that enhances understanding, retention, and critical thinking in diverse educational settings. Essentially, dramatization makes passive learning active and participatory. Through the representation of characters, reenactment of situations, or investigation of stories, students are induced to engage with material in a personal and emotive manner. This experiential pedagogy contributes to the fosterage of empathy, communication, and cooperative problem-solving skills. The internalization of knowledge is also fostered by relating abstract ideas to real human experiences, making learning more concrete and memorable.
