Investigating Literary Texts through Creative Drama: A Mixed Study

Abstract

The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the use of creative drama as a method for the instruction of narrative text analysis as well as to improve pre-service teacher candidates’ ability to understand the structure and meaning of literary texts. An intertwined mixed method research approach was utilised so that the qualitative and quantitative data could coexist. The quantitative data for this study was collected through both a pre-test and post-test, and the quantitative data were obtained via an open-ended question worksheet regarding an “Anthology Preparation” and the “Analysis of a Neighbourhood Coffee Shop Story”. According to the study results, it was observed that the use of creative drama as an approach to literary text analysis did significantly increase the participants’ content and teaching knowledge in this subject area. The study results also suggest that creative drama would be a valuable addition to the Turkish language and literature curriculum in universities.
