Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers are expected to take responsibility for children's moral development, particularly in the primary years, but how best to go about approaching the issues? In this book, the author explores a classroom approach that uses both drama and narrative stories to explore moral issues: drama gives children an opportunity to work through moral problems, make decisions and take up moral positions; stories offer a resource for moral education whereby children can learn through the 'experiences' of those in the story. Through providing a number of case studies, the author shows how this may be done by practitioners in the lassroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2000. Since before modern schooling, before literacy itself, stories have been told in every culture not only as a form of entertainment but also as a means of transmitting values from one generation to the next. Narrative story can be seen as one of the fundamental ways in which the human mind interprets and speculates upon the world and translates lived experience into conceptual understanding. Many good stories of whatever genre that do present themselves as vehicles to develop literacy, whether short stories, picture books, traditional tales, recent or classic novels, will very often present equally exciting possibilities for moral learning. This book seeks to help primary teachers use selected stories not only to develop literacy but also to plan for drama work that can harness the potential for social and moral education, itself an area under increasing attention from central government agencies.
Download or read book Drama and Traditional Story for the Early Years written by Francis Prendiville and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book that looks at how drama has its basis in good early years practice. Most early years practitioners are doing some drama and are edging towards more structured work - this text will help them go further by building their own skills. Using tried and tested example dramas based on traditional stories, the authors show how clearly dramas are constructed. They move from the simple use if TiR (Teacher in Role) to more complex, full dramas, using traditional stories including Little Bo Peep, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Humpty Dumpty, The Pied Piper, The Billy Goats Gruff and Hansel and Gretel. Drama in the early years covers a number of key areas where drama is of particular importance for this age group including: * drama in the National Curriculum * how drama can help your teaching of the Literacy Hour * personal and social education and citizenship * drama and special needs * assessment * recording and progression * developing a school policy for drama.
Download or read book Collected Writings on Education and Drama written by Dorothy Heathcote and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1991-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be "an excellent teacher?" To Dorothy Heathcote, one of this century's most respected educational innovators, it means seeing one's pupils as they really are, shunning labels and stereotypes. It means taking risks: putting aside one's comfortable, doctrinaire role and participating fully in the learning process. Above all, it means pushing oneself and one's students to the outer limits of capability--often, with miraculous results. In this lively collection of essays and talks from 1967-80, Heathcote shares the findings of her groundbreaking work in the application of theater techniques and play to classroom teaching. She provides a time-tested philosophy on the value of dramatic activity in breaking down barriers and overcoming inertia. Her insistence that teachers must step down from their pedestals and immerse themselves in the possibility of the moment makes for magical and challenging reading.

Download or read book The Experience of Education in Anglo Saxon Literature written by Irina Dumitrescu and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglo-Saxons valued education yet understood how precarious it could be, alternately bolstered and undermined by fear, desire, and memory. They praised their teachers in official writing, but composed and translated scenes of instruction that revealed the emotional and cognitive complexity of learning. Irina Dumitrescu explores how early medieval writers used fictional representations of education to explore the relationship between teacher and student. These texts hint at the challenges of teaching and learning: curiosity, pride, forgetfulness, inattention, and despair. Still, these difficulties are understood to be part of the dynamic process of pedagogy, not simply a sign of its failure. The book demonstrates the enduring concern of Anglo-Saxon authors with learning throughout Old English and Latin poems, hagiographies, histories, and schoolbooks.

Including reflections, lesson plans, programme designs, case studies and provocations from scholars, educators and community arts workers, this is the most robust and comprehensive resource for those interested in DE’s past, present and future.
Download or read book Key Concepts in Theatre Drama Education written by S. Schonmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-22 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key Concepts in Theatre Drama Education provides the first comprehensive survey of contemporary research trends in theatre/drama education. It is an intriguing rainbow of thought, celebrating a journey across three fields of scholarship: theatre, education and modes of knowing. Hitherto no other collection of key concepts has been published in theatre /drama education. Fifty seven entries, written by sixty scholars from across the world aim to convey the zeitgeist of the field. The book’s key innovation lies in its method of writing, through collaborative networking, an open peer-review process, and meaning-making involving all contributors. Within the framework of key-concept entries, readers will find valuable judgments and the viewpoints of researchers from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, New Zealand and Australia. The volume clearly shows that drama/theatre educators and researchers have created a language, with its own grammar and lucid syntax. The concepts outlined convey the current knowledge of scholars, highlighting what they consider significant. Entries cover interdependent topics on teaching and learning, aesthetics and ethics, curricula and history, culture and community, various populations and their needs, theatre for young people, digital technology, narrative and pedagogy, research methods, Shakespeare and Brecht, other various modes of theatre and the education of theatre teachers. It aims to serve as the standard reference book for theatre/drama education researchers, policymakers, practitioners and students around the world. A basic companion for researchers, students, and teachers, this sourcebook outlines the key concepts that make the field prominent in the sphere of Arts Education.
Download or read book Building Moral Communities Through Educational Drama written by Betty Jane Wagner and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1999-02-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no other book like this one. Building Moral Communities fills a wide gap in the research literature on effective teaching strategies to build better social skills, conflict management competence, and deep understanding of history, literature, and social interactions and organization. Despite pleas for the infusion of more drama in classroom instruction, there is far too little authority in the form of methodologically sound and convincing research to back up the claims of drama specialists. This book is for those looking for that authority: researchers, advocates, teachers, policy makers, and doctoral students who want to look at responsible citizens. College teachers of such courses as social foundations of education, educational drama and the arts, drama across the curriculum, creative approaches to curriculum, current research method alternatives, instructional strategies, social policy issues in education, and character education will find this a valuable textbook. They will also find the descriptions of drama's use in adult classes informative and useful. Although the focus of this book is on the effects of drama, teachers of all levels and subjects will find the rich and detailed descriptions of drama in action an illuminating guide for their own practice.
Download or read book Teaching Drama in Primary and Secondary Schools written by Michael Fleming and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will be of major interest to student teachers, teachers, lecturers and researchers. It provides a case for an integrated approach to the teaching of drama in primary and secondary schools that will help practitioners develop a theoretical rationale for their work. It also offers practical examples of lesson plans and schemes of work designed to give pupils a broad and balanced experience of drama. These are presented within a framework that argues for an integration of content and form, means and ends, and internal and external experience. Whereas the author's previous work argued for an inclusive approach that reconciled polarized views about performance drama and improvisation, this book shows how those activities can be related to each other in practice in an integrated curriculum.

Book excerpt: How can teachers incorporate drama into the curriculum? What drama activities are especially successful? How do teachers know when students are learning in, through and about drama?

He then uses the work of David Booth to highlight one aspect of drama - storydrama - and how it can be used as an effective learning medium across the curriculum.
