Summary

Introduction

It is necessary to place at the foundation of the education system the understanding that teaches students how to reach them rather than how to store them. This has led to the development of several learning models and teaching methods that allow knowledge to be discovered by the students themselves. Drama is not just a retelling of stories, but situations that individuals encounter. Thanks to these situations which lead to a change in the individual, people learn to cope with the events they experience (Uşaklı, 2007; Vural & Sommers, 2012; Besim, 2019)
