Educational Theater: Components And Objectives

Abstract

Regardless of the contexts in which educational theater is employed, whether within educational institutions or in standalone theaters, it is considered one of the most significant methods of modern education. However, this theater, which places considerable emphasis on children, is built upon several pillars and components aiming to achieve its predetermined objectives within the educational process.Therefore, in this article, I have attempted to precisely define the concept of educational theater by distinguishing it from other terms that overlap conceptually, such as school theater and pedagogical theater. Subsequently, I have examined the most important components of educational theater, which, when properly considered, contribute to achieve the desired objectives of this dramatic work.
