Ziegler, Elsie Mae Books Childrens Literature Creative Dramatics Creativity Empathy Grade 4 Grade 5 Library Instruction Reading Achievement Reading Interests Self Concept To appraise the value of a creative dramatics program in a public library setting was the purpose of this study. Nine public library branches comprised the setting for the experiment. At each branch there were three units: (1) creative dramatics, (2) storytelling, and (3) library usage. Storytelling and library usage were the control group. Pre and post assessments were made on reading interests, reading achievement, self-concept, empathy, and creativity. The creative dramatics and storytelling groups participated in planned programs. The library usage group used only library facilities. Children's literature served as the core for both programs. A storyteller told two folktales and four or five poems during a half hour period. The creative dramatics leader told or read one poem or story to stimulate an idea for action. Results indicate that a creative dramatics program does not enhance children's development in library usage, interest in literature, improvement in reading ability, positive self-concepts, creativity, and empathy. Delayed effects on children no longer participating in creative dramatics were neither confirmed nor rejected. (Author/WR) |
