Background:
Creative drama is the use of drama to support learning by allowing the students to role play. In creative science drama, students are required to integrate scientific content and drama. Creative science drama is without-scripts; topic or context is given to the students, students have to write their scripts, decide the cast, act, and improvise their act (e.g., body language, scripts). The integration of creative drama into STEM education is a shift towards STEAM.
Objectives:
- To promote the learning of science through creative drama and STEAM education.
- To encourage students’ creativity and innovation in delivering STEAM content.
