Hsiao-hua Chang, 張曉 華


In the beginning of mid-20th century, North American, Canadian, European, and Australian universities showed a growing interest in applying knowledge and techniques from theatrical production to the fields of education, social service, and psychotherapy. Acknowledging that some universities in Taiwan have joined this international movement, the author presents research methods and personal teaching experiences to encourage an increase in the application of methods from drama, and the author also feels that an increase in this application will benefit the people of Taiwan.



自20世紀中葉起,在美國、加拿大、歐洲與澳洲的一些大學,將傳統劇場演出的製作知識與技巧,轉向為對教育、社會服務與心理治療方面的戲劇應用。作者有鑑於臺灣的一些大學亦加入了這個世界性趨勢的發展,擬透過研究方法與個人教學,試圖探索其運作的情況,期能激勵戲劇應用的提升,並因此而造福更多的人。
