Drama Education incorporating holistic principles.

Thesis: Creativity and embodied learning

Dr. David Wright

This thesis looks at the way in which drama education constructs opportunities for learning.

Constructivism and self-organising systems theory are used to further understand how individuals and societies construct their own learning. Important in this process is the self-conscious experience of the learner. The notion of being ‘in learning’ rather than outside of and observing the learning is central. This consciousness facilitates the creation of meaning, which plays a role in determining the manner in which further participation in learning occurs, hence further learning.
