Quantum Drama: Transforming Consciousness Through Narrative and Roleplay

Abstract

This article argues that through a practical understanding of some aspects of quantum theory, teachers can develop new roleplay and narrative strategies in the classroom. Describing fictional worlds through narrative and exploring virtual worlds through roleplay can transform the child's consciousness. This article considers the value of the metaphor of quantum theory in relation to drama, learning, and self-image. It discusses potential educational implications of quantum theory, such as the opportunity for greater empathy between teachers and children, in terms of their relevance for helping children meet developmental challenges.
