Abstract
An investigation was carried out into the effectiveness of teaching one element of a Science syllabus, using Drama in place of conventional practical work. No statistically significant differences were detected in factual recall, but significantly more ‘meaningful’ learning appeared to have taken place when Drama was used. Psychological and educational implications of this finding are discussed.Keywords
