Abstract [English]

Learning is ideally a natural process for students, focusing on active involvement and practical application. Emotional involvement plays a vital role in comprehending concepts deeply and retaining them over time. Theater, acknowledged worldwide for its effectiveness in fostering such engagement, has been extensively researched in this regard. This study investigates teachers' perspectives on Theater-Based Teaching (TBT), an educational approach that incorporates theatrical elements. The research seeks to reveal teachers' opinions, convictions, and encounters with TBT.
Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the perceptions of Trainee teacher’s regarding Theater-Based Teaching (TBT).
Method: This quantitative study endeavored to investigate the benefits associated with integrating Theater-Based Teaching (TBT) activities into the teaching-learning process. A questionnaire utilizing the Likert Five-point rating scale was developed and administered to 54 participating educators.
Result: This study demonstrates that TBT activities contribute to the development of life skills, enrich learning experiences, and broaden knowledge children. The findings suggest that integrating TBT activities into education can support children's holistic development.
