ABSTRACT
This work
explores the various methodologies, principles, challenges and prospects in the
development of children through the instrumentality of the Educational Theatre.
This work borders on the prospects of Theatre Education for children,
especially within the pre-pubertal stage as well as identifies problems and
prospects that invariably arise from this sensitive collaborative interaction,
between theatre and education. Chapter on introduces the background of the
study, defines relevant terms and concepts, explains the significance, scope
and research method of this research. Chapter two is the review of relevant
literature through the use of appropriate sub-headings. Chapter three: it is
the theoretical framework of the research. Chapter four deals strictly with the
subject matter of the research critically, while chapter five concludes the
research and makes relevant recommendations.

INTRODUCTION
Theatre and education
enjoy collaboration interaction. Both concepts are no doubt, possibly the two
oldest phenomena in human history. Theatre is believed to be as man himself,
embodying his first preoccupations his initial struggles, successes, set-back
etc. education has always been the process by which a child or young adult
develops the abilities, attitudes and other forms of behavior and social
interaction which are of positive value to the given society. Theatre and
education have always functioned symbiotically as integral aspects of
individual self-enlightenment and training. It is appropriate to state that
theatre and education both serve as the channel for better understanding of the
environment as dictated by main economic, social and psychological needs. Both
concepts are the most effective forces through which him (man) at the center of
creation from where he established social relationships. Although it has long
been agreed that the only way to build up a continuing audience for the
professional adult theatre is to introduce children to the best possible expression
of it and so inculcate the habit of theatre appropriate and education through
theatre, in practice there seems to be apparent stumbling block to this lofty
attempt. In most school, theatrical activates are not enshrined in the academic
curriculum but are rather employed as extra-curricular activity mere recreation
defined to break the monotony of classroom teaching. This misconception
explains the use of theatrical activities strictly as embellishments or
interludes during special activities. The reason for this may not be
far-fetched. The near absence of a deliberate programme for the development of
children in educational theatre and or, the lack of proper theatre training for
the teachers who oftentimes are merely interactive teachers with little or no
affinity towards the arts.
This research seeks
to identify the methodology necessary for the development and inculcation of
knowledge into children through the educational theatre, taking note of the
problems and prospects as well as challenges that lay ahead.
1.1
SCOPE
OF THE STUDY
This study will focus
on the development of children through educational theatre without specifically
citing any previously established school where such education takes place. This
is due to the obvious limitation of finance needed to embark on research,
however this research confines itself to theatre based programmes rendered as
part of the curriculum content of schools targeted at children whether
performed by adult or by children in public.
1.2
DEFINITION
OF TERMS
EDUCATION:
There are nearly as
many definition of education as there are social scientists. This stems from
the fact that educational system vary from one society to another and from one
period to another. However, in this study, education is defined by Nwala (1975:13)
thus:
…. The recognized method (formal or informal)
whereby a person acquired most of his ideas, beliefs and attitudes, in shirt,
his knowledge, skill and manner necessary not only to combat the hazards and
problems of life (physically, theoretically and psychologically, and to secure
the needs of life biologically, socially and economic) but also to fit into the
company of human beings.
The above definition outlines the
prominent characteristics of education. Umukoro (2002) defines as:
….Is the
process by which the individual comes to terms with their self and the large
human society in which he or she operates.
Wellbeing according to Olewe B.N
(1995) development means growth or change, or planned growth. It is a carefully
directed process of training for new ways of behavior.
COMMUNICATION
It is an interactive
process designed to provide the participants with one or more of the following
values: enlightenment, education, information acceptance, knowledge,
recreation, entertainment and change. It always involves giving and receiving
or sharing of : communicable idea, information. Messages, facts, activities,
situations and knowledge immediate of delay, in the process of communication
(Emejulu: 1990).
One of the objectives of education is
for development.
