Full textThe general aim of this study was to establish why students at Stellenbosch University embarked on a course in Drama. The initial hypothesis was that students were attracted to the expressive, therapeutic features inherent to this field of study. A questionnaire was designed to test this hypothesis. However, in the early stages of the project, feedback from the Drama students of 2005 and, at a later stage, that of the first-year Drama students of 2006 and 2007 proved the hypothesis to be incorrect. The specific questionnaire that was handed out to students also included questions that would enhance the interest value of the survey, such as: “What question was the most frequently asked by your friends and relatives enquiring about your Drama studies?” Responses to the latter question, amongst others, triggered two other pilot studies. The aforementioned studies were conducted among 110 students from different disciplines on the US (University of Stellenbosch) campus, as well as among 65 respondents in the Stellenbosch area, and focused on perceptions around Drama students and the drama profession as such. The final study contained the following three problem statements: 1. Are there any stereotypical prejudices towards Drama students? If so, who and what is the Drama student in terms of personality type and character traits? 2. Are there any stereotypical prejudices towards this field of study and the professional field? If so, what do the field of study and the professional field constitute within the South African context? 3. Why Drama? or rather, what is the purpose of Drama, and what motivates students at Stellenbosch University (SU) to choose this particular profession, given the current perceptions? The supporting theories and the data, though not wholly significant, indicated that a marked degree of stereotyping existed with regard to Drama students and the profession. These perceptions about the students and the related professions have also been validated by the limited number of existing studies that could be found on this topic. Moreover, feedback from 253 Drama students revealed that they had decided to study Drama for a variety of reasons, and not only because a successful career in this field will inevitably lead to stardom and fame, which is contrary to what people generally tend to believe.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Creative writing forms an essential part of the English language learning area in any curriculum. The expression of knowledge and ideas through writing is an integral part of the communication process; however, some learners struggle to express their thoughts and ideas in creative writing tasks. As such, this thesis strives to discover how creativity can be stimulated in order to assist learners in their written expression. Drama techniques, stimulation activities and other multi-literacy resources have been employed to try and understand the discovering and ‘finding creativity’ process through creative writing, journaling and performance in the drama classroom. The research utilises the action research methodology, employing participant observations, semi-structured interviews and reflective classroom discussions. It also uses the creative writing journals of the learners in an attempt to investigate how drama techniques can stimulate creativity for the creative writing process. The units of analysis in this case study are 13 grade 9 learners at a private school in the Western Cape, South Africa. The analysis of the data collected reveals that by utilising drama techniques, along with other stimuli and resources, in the classroom the process of creative writing become less troublesome and more enjoyable for both learners and teacher-researcher alike. Another finding is that the open, free and flexible atmosphere, which is created in the classroom assists learners not only with the development of their written expression, but also with verbal expression. The learners learn how to express their creative thoughts and ideas, about the world they live in, in a respectful, sensitive and empathetic manner. The creative writing programs have proved to be more than just tools to improve writing competence, but also have equipped learners with the tools to become creative, thinking citizens.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kreatiewe skryfwerk vorm ‘n essensiële deel van die Engelse leerarea in enige kurrikulum. Die uitdrukking van kennis en idees deur die skryfproses vorm ‘n integrale deel van die kommunikasieproses, maar sommige leerders vind dit uitdagend om aan hulle gedagtes en idees in kreatiewe skryftake uiting te gee. Met hierdie tesis beoog ek om dus om te ontdek hoe kreatiwiteit gestimuleer kan word om leerders met hulle geskrewe uitdrukkings vermoë te ondersteun. Dramategnieke, stimulerende aktiwiteite en ander meerdoelige geletterdheidshulpbronne is gebruik om te probeer verstaan hoe die ontdekking van die kreatiwiteitsproses deur kreatiewe skryf, joernaalinskrywings en opvoerings in die dramaklas, kan plaasvind. Hierdie studie het die aksienavorsingsmetodologie gevolg, waar deelnemende waarneming, semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude en reflektiewe klaskamergesprekke, asook die kreatiewe skryfjoernale van die leerders, gebruik is om te ondersoek in hoe ‘n mate dramategnieke kreatiwiteit vir die kreatiewe skryfproses kan stimuleer. Die studie is op 13 graad 9-leerders wat by ‘n privaatskool in die Wes-Kaap, onderrig word. Die analise van die versamelde data openbaar dat, wanneer dramategnieke in samewerking met ander stimulus en hulpbronne gebruik word, dit die kreatiewe skryfproses vergemaklik en dit meer genotvol vir beide die leerders en die onderwyser-navorser word. Nog ‘n bevinding toon dat die oop, vry en inskiklike atmosfeer, wat in die klaskamer geskep word, nie net die leerders in die ontwikkeling van hul geskrewe uitdrukking bygestaan het nie, maar ook met hul verbale uitdrukkingsvermoë. Die leerders het geleer hoe om hul kreatiewe gedagtes en idees oor hul individuele wêrelde in ‘n respekvolle, sensitiewe en empatiese manier uit te druk. Die kreatiewe skryfprogram blyk veel meer as bloot ‘n hulpbron te wees om die skryfvermoëns van die leerders te verbeter. Dit het hulle ook toegerus om kreatiewe, denkende landburgers te word.

Full textIncludes abstract.
In this thesis I explore my obsession with teaching the physical theatre body over the past twenty-five years.Two sets of questions are proposed: How does the teaching of physical theatre respond to violence and the violated body; and how does pedagogy change when it moves from one context to another? Firstly, I argue that the pedagogy developed by Jacques Lecoq in Paris responded like a pendulum to the extreme violence perpetrated on bodies during the Second World War. I argue that my own practice, influenced by my two years of study at École Jacques Lecoq (1984-1986), continued this tradition by responding to what, I propose, existed as a ‘culture of violence’ in South Africa from the period of colonialism through the apartheid era and into the present. I analyse the impact of violence on the body by focusing on three consequences - stillness, erasure and rupture - and come to an understanding of how the teaching of physical theatre, as per Lecoq and myself, counters all three with a focus on the moving, articulate, individuated body capable of transformation. Secondly, I propose that pedagogy responds to geographic, philosophical and historical contexts and is subject to modification when context changes. The methodology has included conventional research, a comparative analysis of the two contexts, and an analysis of my own experiences - from notebooks that I have kept - as a student and teacher.

The learning is self-reflective as I study my actions, and interpretations of them, with the aim of improving my practice by learning a new skill to use in my teaching. The skill, teaching using drama, and my approach are based in the theory of enactivism. The Discipline of Noticing and Action Research are used in combination to systematically reflect and analyse my experiences during a Drama in Education course. I compare the experience to surfing, another endeavour that is learnt by having the courage to go out and do it and learn from mistakes.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Critical theory forms part of the foundation of the South African school curriculum. The development of critical thinking is part of the general aims of the curriculum. This study will investigate the possibility of developing critical thinking through the use of drama as a teaching method in the subject Life Orientation in the further education and training phase (FET) Grades 10-12. This problem statement will be researched through a quantitative literature study. The school curriculum underwent a transformation since 1994 from a content- and teacher driven curriculum to an experience- and student centred approach to teaching. New subjects were also included in the curriculum such as Life Orientation. There are, however, various implementation problems with regards to Life Orientation. These implementation problems can mainly be attributed to the insufficient in- and pre service training that teachers receive and their inability to use progressive teaching methods. The Life Orientation curriculum does, however, provide opportunity for the development of critical thinking skills. The concept of critical theory will be investigated as philosophical and theoretical basis for this study. The influence of critical theory on the critical pedagogy of Freire will be discussed to show the relationship between education and critical theory. Furthermore, the influence of critical theory on the development of Brecht’s Epic theatre will also be investigated. Finally, a definition for critical thinking will be put forward, after which the question whether critical thinking is developed through the school curriculum will be investigated. Different approaches to drama as a teaching method is briefly discussed. Dorothy Heathcoat’s approach to drama in education is chosen as a focus for this study as she uses drama as a teaching method to teach subject content and to develop thinking skills through reflection. Heathcote uses Brecht’s Epic theatre techniques to alienate the students in order for them to critically reflect on the content that is being taught. Process drama is a more accessible approach to drama in education, but it uses the same core elements namely improvisation, role-play and reflection. Process drama consists of an improvised role-play where the class collectively takes part and the teacher-in-role steers the educational experience through questions that leads to reflection. It is during this reflection that critical thinking is developed. Process drama can be used to teach the content of Life Orientation and develop critical thinking. It, however, requires the teacher to be the director, actor, writer, teacher and self-audience. During the planning of the process drama lesson the teacher also has to follow a certain process where the theme, contexts, roles, dramatic focus, tension elements and signs for the lesson is identified. To illustrate how drama as a teaching method can be used in Life Orientation, three lesson plans are provided.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kritiese teorie vorm deel van die grondbeginsels waarop die Suid-Afrikaanse skoolkurrikulum gebou is. Kritiese denke en die ontwikkeling daarvan is ook deel van die algemene doelstellings van die kurrikulum. Hierdie studie ondersoek die moontlikheid of kritiese denke bevorder kan word deur drama as onderrigmetode te gebruik binne die vak Lewensoriëntering in die verdere onderwys en opleidingsbaan (VOO) Grade 10-12. Daar sal van ’n kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering gebruik gemaak word om die probleemstelling te ondersoek in die vorm van ’n literatuurstudie. Die skoolkurrikulum het sedert 1994 getransformeer vanaf ’n inhouds-, onderwysergedrewe kurrikulum, na ’n ervaringsleer- en leerdergesentreerde benadering tot onderwys. Daar is ook nuwe vakke toegevoeg tot die kurrikulum, soos Lewensoriëntering. Daar is egter heelwat implementeringsprobleme met Lewensoriëntering en dit kan grotendeels toegeskryf word aan die swak in- en prediensopleiding wat onderwysers ontvang en hulle onvermoë om progressiewe onderrigmetodes te gebruik. Die Lewensoriëntering kurrikulum leen hom egter daartoe om kritiese denke te . As filosofiese en teoretiese basis vir die ondersoek word kritiese teorie omskryf. Die invloed van kritiese teorie op die kritiese pedagogie van Freire word bespreek om die verband tussen onderwys en kritiese teorie aan te dui. Die invloed wat kritiese teorie gehad het op die ontwikkeling van Brecht se Epiese teater word ondersoek. Daarna word kritiese denke gedefinieer en word daar ondersoek ingestel of kritiese denke deur die skoolkurrikulum ontwikkel word. Verskillende benaderings tot drama as ’n onderrigmetode word kortliks bespreek, waarna Dorothy Heathcote se benadering tot drama-in-die-onderwys as fokus vir die studie bepaal word, omdat sy drama as ’n onderrigmetode aanwend om vakinhoud te onderrig en denkprosesse te ontwikkel deur refleksie. Heathcote gebruik Brecht se Epiese teater-tegnieke om die leerders te vervreem en krities te laat reflekteer oor die inhoud wat onderrig word. Prosesdrama is ’n toegankliker vorm van Heathcote se benadering tot drama-in-die-onderwys, maar dit gebruik dieselfde kernelemente soos improvisasie, rolspel en refleksie. Prosesdrama bestaan uit geïmproviseerde rolspel waartydens die klas kollektief deelneem en die onderwyser-in-rol die leerervaring stuur en vrae aan die leerders stel wat hulle lei in refleksie. Dis tydens hierdie refleksie wat kritiese denke bevorder word. Prosesdrama kan gebruik word om die inhoud van die vak Lewensoriëntering te onderrig en kritiese denke te ontwikkel. Dit vereis wel dat die onderwyser die regisseur, akteur, skrywer, onderwyser en selftoeskouer word. Tydens die beplanning van ’n prosesdramales, moet die onderwyser ’n proses volg waar hy/sy moet besluit wat die tema, konteks, rolle, dramatiese fokus, spanningselemente en tekens gaan wees wat tydens die les gebruik gaan word. Om te illustreer hoe drama as onderrigmetode aangewend kan word binne die vak Lewensoriëntering, word drie lesplanne opgestel en bespreek.

Full textI läroplanen för grundskolan ska tekniketik vara en del av teknikundervisningen (Skolverket, 2011). Dock har forskning visat att lärare i Sverige har svårt att inkorporera detta i sin teknikundervisning (Kåreklint, 2007). I läroplanen för den svenska grundskolan så är drama inget eget ämne, men uppmanas av Skolverket (2016) att integreras i andra ämnen. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur drama kan bidra till undervisningen av tekniketik genom att besvara frågeställningen "Hur ser lärare på användningen av drama som ett didaktiskt verktyg i teknikundervisningen kring etik?" Frågeställningen besvarades genom att intervjua tre tekniklärare från tre olika svenska grundskolor. Innan den semi-strukturerade intervjun hölls hade lärarna mottagit och utfört en för denna studie designad lektionsplanering där tekniketik lärdes ut genom en dramaövning. Intervjuerna vilade till största del på den uppfattning lärarna fått kring lektionen i fråga. Resultatet av studien visade att alla medverkande lärare såg positivt på att använda drama som ett didaktiskt verktyg för att lära ut tekniketik. Samtliga lärare uttryckte att lektionen hade fungerat bra och att de planerade att fortsätta använda dramaövningar i framtiden. Slutsatsen var att dramaövningar kan vara ett alternativ för undervisning av tekniketik.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the past drama education was an uncommon occurrence in South African schools, limited to the elective subject Speech and Drama at secondary level, which was only offered in a few schools in some of the provinces. The assumption is made that the introduction of Arts and Culture as one of the eight learning areas in Curriculum 2005 has greatly impacted on drama education at school level. This study aims to determine the state of affairs with regards to drama education within the current (2011) education system by investigating the nature, implementation and outcomes of drama curricula in South African schools. In the context of the far-reaching changes that has occurred in South African education since 1994, a historical overview of education before 1994 is given to act as a backdrop for a discussion of the process of education reform. The shift to an outcomes-based education approach is investigated by defining and discussing it in relation to the chosen South-African approach; identifying and discussing the theories and philosophies underpinning an outcomes-based approach to education; and looking at the national curriculum from its introduction as Curriculum 2005 until the recent revision of the National Curriculum Statement (Grades R-9), which will be phased into schools from 2012 as the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement. A comparative evaluation of the drama curricula in the current (2011) National Curriculum Statement (Grade R-12) and the drama curricula in the revised Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement serves as the means to determine the nature, content and outcomes of the drama curricula. The Africanisation of the drama curricula is investigated and it becomes apparent that indigenous knowledge, traditions, customs and cultural practices are successfully included in the drama curricula. The comparative evaluation also leads to the conclusion that the revised national curriculum is a definite improvement on the status quo. Through the investigation of the nature and outcomes of the different drama curricula, it is possible to identify specific requirements for the successful implementation of drama curricula. With these requirements in mind possible challenges and/or problem areas with regards to the implementation of drama curricula are determined and discussed. These challenges and/or problem areas are the following: the curriculum itself, the socio-economic circumstances of schools and learners, language issues, the status of drama education at school level, time allocation and management, funding and infrastructure, and teacher training.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Drama-opleiding op skoolvlak was in die verlede ’n nie-algemene verskynsel en is hoofsaaklik beperk tot die keusevak Spraak en Drama wat slegs in sekere provinsies by ’n beperkte aantal skole op sekondêre vlak aangebied is. Die veronderstelling word gemaak dat die bekendstelling van Kuns en Kultuur as een van die agt verpligte leerareas binne Kurrikulum 2005 ’n geweldige impak op drama-opleiding op skoolvlak gehad het en steeds het. Hierdie studie stel dit gevolglik ten doel om die stand van drama-opleiding binne die huidige (2011) onderwysstelsel te bepaal deur ’n ondersoek te loods na die aard, implementering en uitkomste van dramakurrikula in Suid-Afrikaanse skole. In die lig van die ingrypende veranderinge wat sedert 1994 binne Suid-Afrikaanse onderwys plaasgevind het, bied die studie eerstens ’n historiese oorsig van onderwys voor 1994 wat as agtergrond dien vir ’n bespreking van die onderwyshervormingsproses. Die oorskakeling na ’n uitkomsgebaseerde benadering tot onderwys word in oënskou geneem deur die gekose Suid-Afrikaanse onderwysbenadering te omskryf en te bespreek; die filosofieë en teorieë onderliggend tot ’n uitkomsgebaseerde onderwysbenadering binne die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks te identifiseer en te bespreek; en die nasionale skoolkurrikulum in oënskou te neem vanaf die bekendstelling van Kurrikulum 2005 tot en met die voorgestelde hersienings van die Nasionale Kurrikulumverklaring (Grade R-12) wat vanaf 2012 in skole infaseer word en bekend staan as die Kurrikulum- en Assesseringsbeleidverklaring. Deur middel van ’n vergelykende evaluering van die dramakurrikula in die huidige (2011) Nasionale Kurrikulumverklaring (Grade R-12) en die dramakurrikula in die hersiene Kurrikulum- en Assesseringsbeleidverklaring, word die omvang, inhoud en uitkomste van die dramakurrikula bepaal. Daar word ondersoek ingestel na die Afrikanisering van die dramakurrikula en dit word duidelik dat inheemse kennis, tradisies, gebruike en kultuurpraktyke op suksesvolle wyse binne die onderskeie dramakurrikula ingesluit word. Na afloop van die vergelykende evaluering word die afleiding gemaak dat die mees onlangse hersiening van die nasionale kurrikulum ’n definitiewe verbetering op die status quo is. Dit is moontlik om na aanleiding van die aard en uitkomste van die onderskeie dramakurrikula spesifieke vereistes vir die suksesvolle implementering van die dramakurrikula te identifiseer. In die lig van hierdie vereistes word moontlike uitdagings en/of probleemareas ten opsigte van die implementering van die dramakurrikula vasgestel en bespreek. Hierdie uitdagings en/of probleemareas is die volgende: die kurrikulum self, sosioekonomiese omstandighede van skole en leerders, taalkwessies, die status van dramaopleiding op skoolvlak, tydstoedeling en -bestuur, befondsing en infrastruktuur, en onderwyseropleiding.

Full textThis study examines the English teaching classroom in grades 4 to 6. The problem for the study is the teachers‘attitude towards educational drama used in an English teaching classroom. The purpose is therefore to examine the teachers´ attitudes and how educational drama is used in an English teaching classroom. Furthermore, the purpose examines the teachers’ attitude towards the pupils’ capabilities to develop linguistic- and psychosocial abilities through educational drama used in an English teaching classroom. The result is based on interviews from teachers in grades 4 to 6. Onwards, the result contains only statements from the participants and is constructed by this study’s purpose and issues. Through the researchers ‘and teachers’ statements the conclusion for the study is that the pupils develop psychosocial abilities which in turn also develop the pupils’ linguistic abilities. The method used is a qualitative method with a phenomenologically-inspired theory.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: A thesis in which the author examines ways in which the director within an acting training institution may use the full-scale theatre production as a means of intense training for the students involved. The author contends that much of the theory and practical work taught within a classroom situation cannot be fully comprehended and/or brought to fruition if it is not tested and experienced within as realistic (pertaining to professional theatre) as possible a scenario, in the form of the student production. For the purposes of this thesis, the typical practical production process is used as a model and different areas in which the director may act as a teacher or catalyst to self-discovery are discussed largely in the order in which they might occur in practice. The author concludes that to provide intensive training through the production process would be a very time-consuming and costly endeavour, although very rewarding if it were at all possible. In addition to this, it would require a highly qualified director-trainer, with an holistic understanding of the 'theatrical art, who is prepared to invest a great amount of time and effort in such a production. Research for this thesis included reading material, practical directing and acting projects, and teaching practical acting in the capacity of a part-time lecturer at the University of Stellenbosch Drama Department.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Tesis waarin die outeur maniere ondersoek waardeur 'n regisseur binne 'n akteurs-opleidingsinstansie die volskaalse teaterproduksie kan gebruik as 'n metode vir intense opleiding vir die betrokke studente. Die outeur meen dat 'n groot gedeelte van die teorie en praktiese opleiding wat in die klaskamer weergegee word, nie ten voile verstaan of benut word, tensy die student dit beproef en beleef in so 'n realisties (wat professionele teater betref) moontlike scenario, in die vorm van 'n studenteproduksie. Vir die doeleindes van hierdie tesis word 'n tipiese produksieproses as model gebruik, en verskeie areas waarin die regisseur as onderwyser of katalisator tot selfontdekking kan optree, word grotendeels bespreek in die volgorde waarin dit in die praktyk mag voorkom. Die gevolgtrekking is dat intensiewe opleiding in die produksieproses 'n uiters tydsame en duur oefening sou wees, dog baie lonend indien prakties uitvoerbaar. Daarby sou dit 'n hoogs gekwalifiseerde regisseur-opleier verg, met 'n holistiese kennis van die teaterkuns, wat bereid is om baie tyd en moeite op s6 'n produksie te bestee. Navorsing vir hierdie tesis sluit in leeswerk, praktiese regie- en toneelspelprojekte sowel as klasgee in toneelspel as deeltydse lektor aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch se Departement Drama.
