The Comprehensive Influence of Drama Education on Students and Autistic Children

Abstract

With the progress of society, a large number of talents with high comprehensive quality, high communication ability and high cooperation ability are needed. Ordinary exam-oriented education can no longer meet the needs of society. Attention has been paid to the introduction and promotion of drama education. As early as in Europe and America, drama education has been widely used. This paper summarizes and analyses how drama education improves students’ ability. This article reviewed and summarized several literatures, combined the benefits of drama education on students’ learning and personality, and added the positive impact of drama education on autistic children. Current research has found that drama education can improve students’ critical thinking, interpersonal communication, cooperative communication and other skills, while also connecting comprehensive subject knowledge. At the same time, the positive impact of drama education on autistic children is also one of the focuses of this paper. Combined with the literature and experiments, this paper also clearly states the healing and functional development of drama education for autistic children. The results suggest that drama education can improve creativity, communication and expression skills in children with autism. Drama education has a multidimensional positive impact on both autistic children and normal children.
