The Effect Of Educational Drama On The Behavior Of Respecting Teachers Of Elementary School Students

One of the important moral routine education in school is respecting teachers.Lower-grade students develop a sense of respecting teachers,which is greatly helpful to the teacher-student relationship,classroom discipline,and student relationships.The theory of physical cognition is the teaching mode of “the mind exists in the body,the body lives in the environment,the body and mind combined into one”.The "Drama In Education" method exactly meets the embodied teaching model.Therefore,this study carries out drama in education activities to cultivate respecting teachers' behavior of second grade students and explore the development of their respecting teachers' awareness.The research randomly selected some classmates of class 4 and 5 in second grade of a rural primary school in Guangzhou as the research subjects,and among of them 50 subjects were tested.According to the concrete expression of the “Daily Code of Conduct for Pupils” and the behavior of respecting teachers.To investigate the status quo of respecting teachers in second grade students,three behaviors of respecting teachers were selected as the key measurement indicators of the study,they were “salute to the teachers when meet them,leave class after teacher says class is over,keep quiet in class and raise hands to answer questions.” Chose a picture book related to the theme of respecting teacher as a story script of educational drama activities and designed the script as three drama in education activities for being used during the experiment.The students in the experimental group were given the respecting teacher drama in education and the students in the control group were given the traditional teaching.The experiment lasted for three months,and the changes of students' behaviors in respecting teachers in these two groups were observed and recorded.In the experiment,we used the "Pupils' respecting teachers behavior observation record " to record and interviewed teaching research tools,through which we could prove the effects of drama in education activities.The findings are as follows:1?The observation results of 4 class showed that the experimental results of the three respecting teachers' behavior were the same,The experimental group showed significant difference before and after the experiment,but the control group showed no significant difference before and after the experiment.It shows that drama in education activities in the same time are more effective than traditional classrooms in promoting students' self-consciously respecting teacher behavior,,and interventions have effect.However,the difference between the experimental group and the control group of the three behaviors was not significant,The possible reason is lack of obvious intervention and the students' personal development factors.2?The observation results of the 5 class showed that the experimental results of the two respecting teachers' behavior of “salute to the teachers when meet them,leave class after teacher says class is over” were the same.The experimental group showed significant difference before and after the experiment,but the control group showed no significant difference before and after the experiment.It shows that drama in education activities in the same time are more effective than traditional classrooms in promoting students' self-consciously respecting teacher behavior,,and interventions have effect.However,there was no significant difference in the experimental group of the third behavior,"keep quiet in class and raise hands to answer questions",and the difference in the experimental group was not significant.For this behavior,intervention may be ineffective.3?After the experiment,we observed that both two classes' students appeared the respecting teacher behavior of " students volunteered to help the teacher with the teaching AIDS".This behavior did not appear before the experiment,and after three months of the experiment,the experimental group of 4 class showed significant difference before and after the experiment,but the control group showed no significant difference before and after the experiment.The significant difference between the experimental group and the control group indicated that drama in education intervention was effective.The appearance of this behavior promoted the relationship between teachers and students.Students were more active to help teachers and others.However,this behavior was not significant for class 5,which indicated this behavior was not effective for experimental group of class 5.4?The results of the teacher interview showed that the students in the experimental group were more active than the students in the control group in expressing their respecting teacher's behavior.The students' behaviors lasted longer,they helped the teachers consciously and can easily established a harmonious relationship between teachers and students.It is indicated that drama in education activities could effectively promote students' interpersonal skills,raise the awareness of respecting teachers,and develop appropriate behavior of respecting teachers and achieve sustainability.The results of the experiment and interview show that drama in education plays an important role in the development of students' behavior of respecting teachers.Drama in education class is more effective in promoting the development of students' behavior of respecting teachers than traditional classes,and students can get a lasting and profound memory.To a certain extent,the drama in education model supported by the theory of physical cognition is feasible and is a kind of teaching that suits the students' physical and mental development.
