Interactive theatre techniques for engaging students in the classroom

Abstract The evolving landscape of higher education increasingly recognizes the significance of employing interactive pedagogical approaches to enhance the quality of tertiary education. The engagement was gauged through a questionnaire encompassing cognitive, emotional, and behavioural dimensions, with data collected at two junctures: pre-intervention and post-intervention. The results were corroborated by t-tests, indicating the statistical significance of the increase in the experimental group. The findings unequivocally demonstrate the positive influence of interactive theatrical techniques on student engagement, surpassing traditional teaching methods significantly. These outcomes underscore the potential of incorporating such innovative methods into university curricula to effectively enhance student activity and enthusiasm. The study emphasizes interactive theatre’s potential as a practical tool for elevating the quality of education and the student experience in higher education institutions.
