Enhancing Teaching and Learning in Ghana through Process Drama

Résumé

Process drama, popularised by Heathcote and other practitioners, is acclaimed effective medium of teaching and learning in many countries. This learning procedure has not been significantly explored in Ghana. Working with non-drama teachers with my role as a facilitator, participant, and observer, we explored the use of dramatization and mantle of the expert procedures for the teaching and learning of various school subjects. This paper elaborates on engagements with teachers and pupils in the use of process drama to enhance teaching and learning as well as the challenges encountered by the teachers. In this sample study, it was observed that some participants made significant achievements in the use of process drama despite the challenges of space and large class sizes. It is however recommended that non-drama teachers are introduced to much simpler drama games and strategies which might work better in current classroom context. Keywords: process drama; dramatization; mantle of the expert; pedagogy DOI: 10.7176/JEP/13-6-06 Publication date: February 28 th 2022
