关于教育戏剧的语词、定义与划分的再思考

Rethinking on the Word, Definition and Classification of Educational Drama

Despite of the influence of any former translation， we should insist on the broad usage of “Educational Drama”. According to the “Ends-Means” scheme， the most concise definition of Educational Drama should be “drama as the means of education”. If we consider the “curriculum – instruction＂ system as an intermediary of understanding ＂the means of education＂， then the denotation of educational drama could be divided to “educational drama as curriculum＂ and “educational drama as instruction＂. And we can also divide these two categories into further subclass， such as “educational drama as subject curriculum”， “educational drama as cross-subject curriculum”， “educational drama as activity curriculum”， etc.
