Drama Education, Curriculum and Assessment (Classroom and Asynchronous E-Learning)
About This Course
In this module participants will trace developments in drama education, both internationally and within Singapore, as they critically reflect upon the underlying historical, political, social and educational motivations and agendas in the field.
Through theoretical discourses and embodied explorations participants will consider:
a) drama as an art form and the teaching of art for arts sake within formal and informal curriculum
b) types of learning that drama can facilitate within the formal and informal curriculum
In interactive, physical workshops participants will experience a range of pedagogical drama structures that aim to foster learning in, through and about the art form of drama. They will be provided with opportunities to plan, structure and facilitate drama work for different types of learning.
