Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This remarkable set of essays defines the role of imagination in general education, arts education, aesthetics, literature, and the social and multicultural context.... The author argues for schools to be restructured as places where students reach out for meanings and where the previously silenced or unheard may have a voice. She invites readers to develop processes to enhance and cultivate their own visions through the application of imagination and the arts. Releasing the Imagination should be required reading for all educators, particularly those in teacher education, and for general and academic readers." —Choice "Maxine Greene, with her customary eloquence, makes an impassioned argument for using the arts as a tool for opening minds and for breaking down the barriers to imagining the realities of worlds other than our own familiar cultures.... There is a strong rhythm to the thoughts, the arguments, and the entire sequence of essays presented here." —American Journal of Education "Releasing the Imagination gives us a vivid portrait of the possibilities of human experience and education's role in its realization. It is a welcome corrective to current pressures for educational conformity." —Elliot W. Eisner, professor of education and art, Stanford University "Releasing the Imagination challenges all the cant and cliché littering the field of education today. It breaks through the routine, the frozen, the numbing, the unexamined; it shocks the reader into new awareness." —William Ayers, associate professor, College of Education, University of Illinois, Chicago

Download or read book Drama in Education Learning Art Medium written by Dr. Mohamed Abou El-khir and published by Mohamed Abou El-khir. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a PhD thesis from Leeds Metropolitan University on seeking to explore a new direction through the use of resources in the development of learning through Drama in education. The quality of participants experience can be enhanced by "resources" or "the Dramatic environment" (i.e. the use of space, props, costumes, music, sound effects, sets and lighting) Therefore, the book explains the nature of learning through Theatre, Theatre in Education and DIE. Therefore, it is appropriate to look at a range of theories of learning to see where DIE fits such as Piaget, Donaldson, and Vygotsky and also to comprehend which art theories can be related more specifically to DIE, for example, Stanislavski, Craig and Brecht. Consequent on this could be the conceptualisation of the relationship between drama as arts process and as learning medium. Moreover, Action research was used, and different data collection was collected and analyzed. This book contains many examples and case studies that benefit drama teachers and expand their experiences. To conclude, the book is about the theory and practice of drama teaching in primary and secondary schools.

It offers a detailed analysis and explores the roles of actor, director and playwright that the teacher must adopt in order to develop the ‘thinking on your feet’ skills and knowledge necessary to deliver a complete process drama experience. Addressing the dynamic nature of process drama, it provides a clear and rigorous explanation of the theory of process drama and links it to practice. Drawing on a wide range of detailed examples from the authors’ international and cross-cultural practice, it demonstrates how an effective process drama operates in action. Written to help practitioners and students produce powerful, artistic and educative experiences, chapters cover: pedagogy and the improvised nature of the art form; the structural framework and making shifts in the drama; the role of actor, director, playwright and teacher; monitoring emotional range; progression and the importance of reflection; the spiral of creative exchange and the complexities of co-creativity. Putting Process Drama into Action will be an essential guide for students undertaking initial teacher training at primary level, in addition to those studying both Drama and English at secondary level. It will also prove to be essential reading for specialist and non-specialist teachers in the primary and secondary sectors who teach, or wish to teach, process drama.
