This dissertation examines the particular method developed by arepp: Theatre for Life, a South African Non Governmental Organisation, in its work of providing sexuality and social problem solving life-skills education for adolescents, towards the development of self-efficacy in school-going youth, by means of dramatic presentations. The research is broadly located in the fields of applied theatre, experiential learning and participatory action research. Social cognitive and self-efficacy theory underpin the educational goals, whilst phenomenology, the 'eventness' of theatre, narrative and diegesis are key to the conceptual framework within which arepp: Theatre for Life's use of theatre is examined. The arepp: Theatre for Life archive, including the organisation's internal monitoring and evaluation system, provide the primary data source for this investigation, which focuses on one arepp: Theatre for Life production, Look Before You Leap: Hangin' in 2007, for specific inverstigation and the provision evidence. arepp: Theatre for Life's applied theatre pedagogy combines the concepts of observational learning through a theatre show with the processes of experiential learning through a facilitated discussion to develop self-efficacy with regard to adolescent sexuality. 2014-09-30T13:39:39Z 2014-09-30T13:39:39Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7784 eng application/pdf Department of Drama Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
