Drama in Turkish Primary Schools

Drama education is integrated into the Turkish primary school curriculum, although specific details about the 4th-grade curriculum are not readily available. Drama is often taught within other subjects, such as Turkish language and literature, or as a separate subject called "Creative Drama." Some schools, like the Terakki Vakfı Okulları, incorporate creative drama classes with activities like educational games, dramatization, puppetry, creative dance, creative writing, role-playing, and improvisation.

Research suggests that drama is used as a teaching method in various subjects, including social studies and heritage education. The use of drama aims to enhance students' creativity, social skills, communication, and understanding of various concepts.

While there's no official program for school shows, they are common activities in Turkish schools. Teacher training programs also include drama education components, both theoretical and practical.
