Soft skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity are in high demand. Within this education landscape, Dramatic Arts as a South African FET subject provides an opportunity to facilitate relevant and holistic teachingand learning experiences.This study examines how Dramatic Arts teachers can use digital technologies to optimise teaching methodologies and pedagogies to meet the diverse learning needs of Generation Z learners, while developing the sought-after 21st-century skills. It explores how teachers can guide learners in developing digital wisdom by facilitating engaging, creative processes and immersive learning experiences, empowering them to navigate the complexities of the digital world and harness its potential for creative expression and a life-long learning mindset.A mixed-method, practice-led approach was adopted, incorporating qualitative analysis from learner focus groups, interviews with Senior Education Specialists, and reflective autoethnographic narratives, alongside quantitative surveys administered to Dramatic Arts teachers in the Western Cape.The findings suggest that when digital technologies are integrated into Dramatic Arts, they can enrich the creative process, deepen metacognitive engagement, and support curriculum delivery in ways relevant to the demands of Education 4.0. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Opvoeding 4.0 het sinoniem geword met die vinnig veranderende onderwysomgewing van die Vierde Industrieële Rewolusie. Mensevaardighede soos kommunikasie, samewerking, kritiese denke en kreatiwiteit is in groot aanvraag. Binne hierdie onderwyslandskap bied Dramatiese Kunste as 'n Verdere Onderrig- en Opleidingsvak (VOO-fase) 'n geleentheid om relevante en holistiese onderrig- en leerervarings te fasiliteer. Hierdie studie ondersoek hoe Dramatiese Kunste-onderwysers digitale tegnologieë kan gebruik om onderrigmetodologieë en pedagogieë aan te pas, ten einde aan die uiteenlopende leerbehoeftes van Generasie Z-leerders aan te spreek, terwyl die gesogte 21ste-eeuse vaardighede ontwikkel word. Dit ondersoek hoe onderwysers leerders kan lei om digitale wysheid te ontwikkel deur boeiende kreatiewe prosesse en ingrypende leerervarings te fasiliteer, asook hoe dit hulle kan bemagtig om die kompleksiteite van die digitale wêreld te navigeer en die potensiaal vir kreatiewe groei en uitdrukking te benut. 'n Gemengde-metode, praktykgedrewe benadering is gevolg, wat kwalitatiewe analise van leerders se fokusgroepe, onderhoude met Senior Onderwyskundiges, en reflektiewe outoetnografiese narratiewe, tesame met kwantitatiewe opnames aan Dramatiese Kunsteonderwysers in die Wes-Kaap, ingesluit het. Die bevindings dui daarop dat wanneer digitale tegnologieë in Dramatiese Kunste geïntegreer word, dit die kreatiewe proses kan verryk, metakognitiewe betrokkenheid kan verdiep, en kurrikulumlewering kan ondersteun op maniere wat relevant is tot die vereistes van Onderrig 4.0.
