Theatre as a Pedagogical Tool in Science: Effects on Well-being and Motivation in Primary School Students

This study examines the impact of a theatrical methodology on the affective experience of primary school students in science, evaluating the variables Well-being, Activation, and Hedonic Tone. A quasi-experimental design was implemented with 92 fifth-grade students. To achieve this, this grade level, consisting of four pre-existing classrooms, was selected, and then classrooms were randomly assigned to either the control group (traditional teaching) or the experimental group (theatrical methodology).
