The Art of Teaching
Drama as a tool for teaching
„The Art of Teaching“ gives us an opportunity to connect experts in special and inclusive education, educational theatre and drama, research in culture and information technology. Experts from Austria, Croatia and Slovenia work together to develop comprehensive training course and teaching tools for primary school teachers.
The objectives of the projects are:
- Develop innovative, inclusive and effective training course for primary school teachers and teaching assistants based on educational theatre and drama.
- Establish international cooperation between three primary schools.
- Develop tools for more creative and innovative teaching and collection of creative assessment activities for primary school teacher and teaching assistants.
EDUCULT is one of nine partner organisations and brings expertise in the field of cultural education in schools and in the implementation of creative evaluation methods.
Training day: Theatre and drama pedagogical methods for the classroom
Theatre and drama pedagogical games and exercises are excellent teaching methods to enable sustainable learning through an emotional connection to the subject matter. The one-day, free training course provides an insight into the application of theatre pedagogical methods in the context of a classroom observation in three primary school classes. This will be followed by an information session on the extended training seminar The Art of Teaching.
