Contribution
Participants comprised of Preservice Physical Education teachers attending the Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) program at Hacettepe University in Ankara. The first purpose of the study is to examine whether creative drama education has an effect on critical thinking skills of teachers in Preservice Physical Education. The second purpose is to bring further the concepts of creativity and critical thinking. The methodical setting of the study was “embedded mixed methods research design”. A Turkish version of the “California Critical Thinking Skills Test-(CCTST) Form 2000” and the “California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory” (CCTDI) were used to collect quantitative data. Qualitative data sources included reflective student journals and semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was used to examine all qualitative data sources. As a result, there is some evidence that creative drama education has positive effects on critical thinking skills and dispositions of Preservice Physical Education teachers. We will discuss these results in order to bring the concepts on “creative” and innovative practices in the field of teacher education further.
