Overview
"This thesis evaluates the successes and challenges associated with a drama-based arts integration residency with adolescent learners. As the world becomes more reliant on STEM literacy, research shows young people, especially girls and young people of color, feel excluded from STEM learning. This project employed drama-based pedagogies to engage young people in STEM learning. The residency was evaluated through qualitative and quantitative methods. The data revealed how students and the teaching artist perpetuated and challenged dichotomies between the arts versus sciences, social versus academic learning, and what students say about their academic identities versus what they do in a classroom. This thesis concludes with recommendations and hopes for teaching artists and schools interested in employing drama pedagogies in STEM classes and other disciplines." --Abstract
