Creative Dramatics as an Effective Tool in Contemporary Education: A Pedagogical Discourse

Abstract

Creative dramatics remains a relatively new and burgeoning phenomenon in contemporary education. It is an attempt
to use drama for more functional purposes. This paper surveys the instrumentality of creative dramatics as a classroom
experience and as an effective educational tool in contemporary education. It carefully considers its meaning and implications,
scope, aims and objectives as well as its values to the growth of the child in all development gamut; as well as the vital and
invaluable role of the teacher in permeating the world of the child to understand and assist him to master the realities of his
surrounding as he is being prepared for the real world and a better living in life.
