Abstract
This three phase research project, conducted with low-income students of
color in an urban high school, addresses the use of process drama and playmaking
as primary modes for addressing components of best practice in multicultural
education, and altering the reproduction of hegemonic ideologies in schools.
Further, the effects of classroom community on the learning outcomes of the
project are considered. This is a qualitative study using participant observation as
a primary form of data collection, followed by ethnographic interviews. Data
analysis followed a primarily inductive process with a focus on the development
of grounded theory to explain the outcomes. Discussion of project outcomes are
considered in relationship to literature on the nature of ideologies, the ways that
public schooling both supports and exacerbates existing dynamics, the suitability
of public schools as potential sites of change in these dynamics, and the potential
of applied drama/theatre to provide a viable alternative curricular approach for
facilitating change in hegemonic reproduction in schools.
