Forum Theatre and Parables: A Qualitative Field Experiment in a Seventh-Day Adventist Academy
Freed, Dena Davis
Journal of Research on Christian Education, v21 n3 p281-299 2012
In this article, the author describes a qualitative field study designed to test the effectiveness of Forum Theatre (FT) as a cross-disciplinary approach to Biblical parabolic literature analysis for students enrolled in a Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Academy. The author provides a brief overview of the theoretical framework of the study, the study design, and data analysis, then discusses the study's findings and the study's implications for SDA education and Theatre of the Oppressed (TO), the dramatic system to which FT belongs. In this study, drama, literature, and theology interacted to provide students with an integrated learning experience.
