Course objectives
Students will learn to create larger thematic units built on a narrative or other type of continuous story which will enable them to learn to solve problems by actively identifying themselves with imaginary roles and situations, exploring ideas, events, and relationships. During the course, students will create a scenario of structured dramatic play activities - a teaching program which they will then carry out with a given age level for which the script has been created. They will analyze the outputs of the implementation, and will try to suggest changes to the structure of the program to improve it as well as other variants of its use and continuation. Students will go through the whole process of creating a program from partial exercises and games to designing and elaborating their own program with appropriately chosen methods and techniques corresponding to the selected topic. They will record everything and submitt it with reflection in written form.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student will be able to: Define the basic concepts used in creating a structured dramatic play. Describe goals of structured dramatic play. Explain individual conventions used in construction of a structured drama play. Compare domestic and foreign approaches to the so-called story drama. Create a structured dramatic play Make a structured dramatic play with a chosen target group Analyze the specific outputs of the structured dramatic play realization Reflect on your experience with the creation and realization of a structured dramatic play.
