Abstract
In order to make students understand the curriculum, drama-based learning in the way of role played situational learning. In the past, the traditional drama teaching not only takes lots of time to set up the environment and prepare clothing and stage property, but also increases the burden of teachers. The students do not have enough environment to perform in the classroom, so it is difficult to focus on the script.
This paper proposes a digital drama-based learning theater in the classroom. The students can reflect themselves into the theater, and apply digital clothing and stage property to support the digital theater. Due to these clothing and stage property form fantasy elements for students, and keep attracting them in drama learning. We have implemented this digital drama-based learning theater in the English class of elementary school for 3 years, and let students familiar with the system gradually, so we can maintain students’ interest.
This study investigates the effect of digital stage clothing and stage property in the digital drama-based theater. After 3 semesters of the experiment, the result demonstrates that students can get inside the characters quickly by digital stage clothing and stage property. Finally, we can exactly say that the digital stage clothing and stage property can increase the students’ learning effectiveness.
