Turning with wa(y)ves of learning to use drama in my teaching

Abstract

This dissertation is about teaching and learning from a subjective perspective. The learning is self-reflective as I study my actions, and interpretations of them, with the aim of improving my practice by learning a new skill to use in my teaching. The skill, teaching using drama, and my approach are based in the theory of enactivism. The Discipline of Noticing and Action Research are used in combination to systematically reflect and analyse my experiences during a Drama in Education course. I compare the experience to surfing, another endeavour that is learnt by having the courage to go out and do it and learn from mistakes.
