In this study the use of creative drama method (CDM) in the process of education at different levels was examined through meta-thematic analysis. The studies were searched in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, the Council of Turkish Higher Education National Thesis Centre, Google Scholar, Sage Journal, Web of Science, Taylor & Francis Online and Science Direct databases at national and international levels between 2009 and 2020 through document analysis. 40 studies (16 articles, 21 master's theses and 3 doctoral dissertations) were included. The codes for CDM were grouped under six themes such as "its contributions to cognitive domain", "its contributions to affective domains", "its contributions to social domains", "its contributions to classroom environment", "its negative sides" and "suggestions". Based on these findings, it can be indicated that the contributions of CDM to the process of education are generally positive. However, it is thought that considering the suggestions articulated in this study will be extremely useful to deal with the problems which can be stemmed from using CDM in education.
