Research on the effectiveness of the teaching process using the dramatic method

Abstract

In this paper we deal with the research of the effectiveness of the teaching process using the dramatic method. The dramatic method is of great importance as it does not allow the students to be passive but it uses their curiosity as a moving power in order to elicit better results. Considering the fact that the teacher is the one conducting the process of text interpretation, he or she should strive towards leaving the cliché of convention because the new ways of text interpretation will create a desire in students to further work on the text. The dramatic method of teaching primarily refers to the classroom which represents the area of text dramatisation, however, in a drama, a classroom is not only a classroom, it is much more than that - it is the space which has a much higher cause, the space which is framework for the expression of art. The dramatic method has a vital role within educational aims. The dramatic method, as a contemporary method, can contribute the efficiency and improvement of teaching not only when processing dramatic texts, but also while processing works that belong to other literacy types. Text dramatisation as the starting point of the dramatic method opens the way to interpretation of all art works regardless of the type they belong to.
