Integrating Theatrical Arts into Storytelling Instruction in Primary Education: A Theoretical Framework and Practical Applications
International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, v17 n1 p145-155 2024
This paper analyzed the integration of theatrical arts into storytelling instruction for primary school students. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of theatrical arts on the effectiveness of storytelling teaching, identify suitable theatrical techniques for the content and conditions of teaching, and propose methods for integrating these techniques. The research demonstrated that using theatrical techniques such as facial expressions, gestures, voice modulation, props, and sound enhanced students' engagement, thinking, and memory retention. The selected techniques were detailed and guided for easy application by teachers in the classroom. The study also highlighted important considerations for effectively integrating these techniques into lessons. The primary contribution of this research was the provision of a specific theoretical framework for applying theatrical arts in primary education, offering a more flexible and effective approach to teaching.
