Sažetak
Drama pedagogy does not merely represent a form of creative educational work with children and youth with the purpose of developing their creativity and the education of complete and creative personalities. It also represents a way of experiential learning and teaching of various educational content, encourages personal growth and socialization or acquisi tion life skills. In this paper, we attempted to examine the opinions of primary education teachers in the Republic of Croatia regarding the frequency, importance and diversity of the use of drama methods. In addition, we wanted to examine teachers’ assess ments of competences and obstacles that arise in performing drama methods. The study involved (N = 434) primary education teachers, and the results show that teachers have a positive opinion of the use of drama methods and estimate that their application c an develop different competencies. However, the lack of skills, knowledge and guidance in implementing drama methods is an obstacle to their more frequent application in the educational process. Regardless of the experience gained through drama workshops a nd activities, most respondents do not consider themselves competent for applying drama methods in their teaching. Based on the analysis of results, and for the purpose of attaining certain competences which refer to efficient organization of contemporary teaching practice including drama methods, recommendations were formulated for pre - service teacher formal education and for the professional teacher development and training.
