Kaf, O., & Uygungul Yilmaz, O. (2017). Effects of creative drama method on students’ attitude towards social studies, academic achievement and retention in Turkey. European Journal of Educational Research, 6(3), 289-298. https://doi.org/10.12973/eu-jer.6.3.289

q1 · i? · causal · r1

Authors' theoretical interpretation offered in the discussion, not a separately tested result; they frame drama's effects as consistent with "the cognitive learning approach" and constructivism. No additional evidence or argument is printed for this framing.

"considered within the framework of c onstructivism at the roots of 2005 curriculum, the effectiveness of the creative drama method is in parallel with the cognitive learning approach, which states that the learning takes place in an active process not in a passive one."
