This article describes and analyses the process of evaluation of phase two of ‘Forbidden Fire’, a Theatre in Health Education project developed by Rent‐a‐Role Theatre Company at the Barbican Theatre, Plymouth and presented in local primary schools. The authors explore some of the difficulties inherent in using qualitative approaches for the purposes of evaluation. They show what can be done with reference to an evaluation of ‘Forbidden Fire’ that was undertaken for a multi‐agency steering committee in Plymouth, UK. After briefly describing the TIE project, reference is made to examples of qualitative data from the evaluation report to show how theory was developed. An argument is developed about the art experience, resulting in an emergence of powerful moments or moments of cognitive illumination. This observation is related to the way TIE might contribute to promoting moral development in the classr...","PeriodicalId":45609,"journal":{"name":"Ride-The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance","volume":"18 1","pages":"21-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"1999-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81966795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If this is the case, it is an important claim, since the ability to think critically is crucial in our complex and problematic world. But in order to support this claim, the concept of critical thinking needs to be examined fully and the connection between critical thinking and drama needs to be elaborated in detail. The argument that drama can foster critical thinking needs to rest on a clear, coherent and defensible conception of critical thinking and needs to be elaborated in terms of a detailed consideration of how, exactly, critical thinking can be part of work in drama. The author's research has focused both on the nature and justification of drama education and on critical thinking, and in this article she brings these areas together by detailing how critical thinking might be understood in the context of dra...","PeriodicalId":45609,"journal":{"name":"Ride-The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance","volume":"107 1","pages":"145-153"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"1998-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80773879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a series of interviews, the students searched for what was in their educational programme to establish the kinds of community they desired. That vision focused on the themes of inclusion, collaboration and voice. The interrelated themes reflect attempts to define organisational lives around shared ideals or ‘virtues’. While adhering to certain beliefs about how individuals should live in relation to each other is important, there are two other defining characteristics of the common ground that connects these students to each other. The basis for the creation of community is also advanced by a willingness to recognise individual identity and the interconnectedness among group members. Finally, finding common ground is associated with preserving a compact of affirmation, solidarity and critique.","PeriodicalId":45609,"journal":{"name":"Ride-The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance","volume":"48 1","pages":"155-166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"1998-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86318410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main purpose of this investigation is to identify some of the processes which make up the imagination as it functions in classroom drama, so that both the teaching and assessment of the imagination can be deliberate and focused upon specific aspects. The imaginative modes of Bell are applied to the drama work of some primary school children as they create drama within three kinds of drama structures, during a series of lessons over one term. These are analysed to identify the kinds of processes being used, and correlated to different personality types. Some concluding considerations about the effectiveness of Bell's modes, and how they might be modified for the analysis of classroom drama, together with some larger issues for teachers and researchers of the imagination are suggested.","PeriodicalId":45609,"journal":{"name":"Ride-The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance","volume":"42 1","pages":"211-224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"1998-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80047514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author learnt that the use of drama alone is not sufficient to address the 'realities of present time' in South Africa. Specific skills are needed to enrol stakeholders in a process of change, enable them to adjust negative perceptions and break through barriers that hold them to ransom. The author's previous job as an actor-teacher/researcher in a project which educates schools about HIV/AIDS and life skills offered her a world of experience as a community development drama practitioner. These experiences not only increased her knowledge in using drama as a tool for education, but most importantly, confirmed the importance of being a good listener and observer. She recognised the challenge as well as the opportunities that need to be exploited by every person working towards the betterment of the New South Africa; that real education is about change, and that change would not necessarily take place if those being educated were not allowed a chance to reflect upon their past in order to realise a future for themselves.","PeriodicalId":45609,"journal":{"name":"Ride-The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance","volume":"3 1","pages":"167-179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"1998-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79958669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
