Project Introduction
​計劃簡介

 

 “Drama Education in Metaverse: Learning New Literacies beyond Classroom” is a project funded by  Teaching Development Grant, which has started in January 2023, which aims to build an interactive, novel and safe space for students to continue drama-learning after lecture and tutorial class.

In this metaverse-learning environment, students can choose their own avatars to participate in a variety of drama activities, such as process drama, character-profiling and rolling role, etc. Students can interact with each other in a virtual-physical form, using voice-over, texting, gesture and movement to communicate. To employ this package as a tool to extend the teachings of communication skills and appreciation of dramatic literature in class, the implementation of the metaverse platform will be blended with the classroom activities. While language and literature learning serve as the starting point of this project, its ultimate goal is to develop students’ literacy skills. Literacy here refers to a way of thinking needed across the disciplines: from general operational skills, such as reading and writing, to the thinking of the cultural and critical aspect.

In addition to providing drama-blend package for drama and literature courses, the project also plans to deliver drama education workshops for EdUHK students as well as local secondary schools. As the effect of drama education in terms of personal growth is not only for participant/student, but also for facilitator/teacher. Students of EdUHK participated in this project will be provided with opportunity to hold drama workshops in the local schools. Therefore, this activity would produce learning outcomes for the students of both EdUHK and local secondary schools.

「元宇宙裡的戲劇教育：課室外的新素養學習」是由教學發展補助金資助的項目，並於2023年1 月開始實行。此項目目的是建設一個具互動性、新奇有趣及符合網絡安全的平台，讓學生可以在課後繼續戲劇學習。

在這元宇宙學習空間裡，學生可以選擇代表自己的虛擬替身進行各種戲劇活動，如過程戲劇、角色塑造及流轉角色等，並且可運用真人發聲或文字交談，同時亦可以以姿勢和動作等彼此交流溝通。此項目將設計可配合元宇宙空間學習的課堂活動，在教授溝通技巧及文學欣賞等課堂裡以混合學習模式使用，讓戲劇教育元宇宙成為課堂學習的延伸平台。除了提升學生語言及文學欣賞能力，此項目期望透過戲劇教育訓練學生的新素養 --   一種跨越科目範疇的思維模式 – 由技能層面如閱讀、寫作至文化及批判性思考。

在設計戲劇教育的混合學習配套以外，此項目亦會為教大同學及本地中學生提供戲劇教育工作坊，本地學校的工作坊將由參與此項目的教大同學主持；戲劇教育不但可為參與者帶來成長與轉變，導師從中亦有學習與體會，所以此活動可讓教大同學及本地學校學生一同學習和成長。
