| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | In developed countries, drama education is a very important teaching method for developing students' creative thinking ability and comprehensive qualities and is even considered one of the best teaching methods. Nevertheless, the absence of drama education is a notable deficiency in Chinese kindergartens. This study seeks to explore whether drama education can enhance the creativity of preschool children in China, and whether the age and gender influence this enhancement. The research chose Senior Classes 1 & 2 in Youshi Hebin Public Kindergarten in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China as the experimental group and the control group. This paper employed t-tests, correlation coefficient analysis, and variance inflation factor testing to examine the causal connection between drama education and creative thinking in preschool children. Creative thinking was assessed using the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking-Figural tests. The results showed that drama education had a positive impact on pre-school children’s creative thinking. Furthermore, the effect of drama education on the promotion of creative thinking was more pronounced when pre-school children were older or female. Based on the findings, the researcher suggests that the proportion of drama education in Chinese kindergartens should be appropriately increased to enrich the kindergarten curriculum design and improve the creative thinking ability of pre-school children. This study provides some theoretical support and data for the promotion of drama education in pre-school teaching in China. |
