Abstract
My specific teaching and research interest is drama in the classroom – drama as a teaching and learning medium to fulfil a curriculum demand for student-active, creative and aesthetic learning processes. In this article I will focus on the challenges and possibilities that exist in Norwegian classroom drama. The article is based on my latest research projects, ‘Drama and student-active learning’, and my 2008 unpublished PhD thesis which looked at general teacher-training practice and teachers’ and students’ drama experiences in grades 1–10. My methods involved a review of literature, group interviews, classroom research, reflective individual interviews and a net-based questionnaire.Keywords
