Abstract

Eva Göksel and Marcel Felder have facilitated the elective module ‘Learning through Play – Drama in Education and Applying Theatre in Schools’ at the University of Teacher Education Zurich since 2021. In this article, they open the doors to their course. Using a single student case study as an example, they demonstrate how an experiential drama in education course can empower student teachers to apply performative teaching and learning methods across different school subjects. Finally, the authors discuss the requirements for the integration of performative methods in teacher education, guided by the question: What do teachers need to effectively and confidently design their own performative teaching?
