This study conducts a meta-analysis of nominal phrases with "drama" as the head noun and modifier, aiming to clarify the terminology within the field of drama education and address discrepancies in term usage across various linguistic contexts. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research analyzes the frequency and usage patterns of drama-related terms in the British National Corpus (BNC) and Google Scholar. Significant disparities were found, indicating broader usage and diverse applications in Google Scholar compared to the BNC. The study highlights the need for standardized terminology to enhance communication and comparability in academic research. By defining key terms such as "drama activity," "drama play," and "educational drama," the analysis contributes to reducing ambiguities and fostering a more coherent dialogue within drama studies, thereby facilitating more effective educational practices and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Öz

Bu çalışma, drama eğitimi alanındaki terminolojiye açıklık getirmeyi ve çeşitli dilsel bağlamlarda terim kullanımındaki tutarsızlıkları ele almayı amaçlayan, baş isim ve niteleyici olarak "drama" içeren nominal ifadelerin bir meta-analizini gerçekleştirmektedir. Nicel bir yaklaşım kullanan araştırma, British National Corpus (BNC) ve Google Scholar'daki drama ile ilgili terimlerin sıklığını ve kullanım şekillerini analiz etmektedir. Google Scholar'da BNC'ye kıyasla daha geniş kullanım ve farklı uygulamalara işaret eden önemli farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Çalışma, akademik araştırmalarda iletişimi ve karşılaştırılabilirliği artırmak için standartlaştırılmış terminolojiye duyulan ihtiyacı vurgulamaktadır. Analiz, "drama etkinliği", "drama oyunu" ve "eğitsel drama" gibi anahtar terimleri tanımlayarak, belirsizlikleri azaltmaya ve drama çalışmaları içinde daha tutarlı bir diyaloğu teşvik etmeye katkıda bulunmakta, böylece daha etkili eğitim uygulamaları ve disiplinler arası işbirliğini kolaylaştırmaktadır.
