DRAMATIC TECHNIQUES IN EDUCATION: TRANSFORMING ENGAGEMENT AND CRITICAL THINKING IN THE CLASSROOM

This research article investigates the integration of dramatic techniques in educational settings to enhance student engagement, critical thinking, and overall learning outcomes. By utilizing various strategies—such as body movement, gesture, posture, physical activity, voice exercises, modulation, pronunciation, aesthetic sensibility, and expression—educators can cultivate a dynamic learning environment that fosters active participation and promotes a deeper comprehension of content. The findings indicate that incorporating these techniques not only creates a more engaging classroom atmosphere but also facilitates the development of critical cognitive skills and emotional intelligence among students, ultimately contributing to a more holistic educational experience.
