School ceremony and competency development. Analysis of the rehearsal process for a school celebration in terms of competencies

Summary/Abstract: We are researching school communities from the perspective of how schools, which are groups of individuals, can become functioning communities and how they can support the development of their members. To this end, we have focused research on examining the rituals of communities and the opportunities that drama education provides for enriching these rituals. Therefore, in this study, the learning and creative activities of a high school drama group, from the preparation of the ceremony script to the performance are analysed. The main research question is what learning-support¬ing role the rehearsal process plays, and in which competence areas the participating students have experienced development during the preparation for the ceremony.
