Cilj ovoga rada je pokazati dramski način rada s djecom te pokazati kako je procesna drama, odlična metoda za postizanje odgojno-obrazovnih ishoda. Početak rada posvećen je povijesnom pregledu dramskog i scenskog stvaralaštva te procesne drame u Hrvatskoj. Naglašava se važnost dječjeg sudjelovanja te kako je dramski rad počeo sa spontanim dječjim igrama te se proširio do organiziranih dramskih igara. Uz to su navedene vrste dramskih igara i definicije različitih autora. Detaljnije se govori o dramskim tehnikama, njihovoj podjeli i svrsi, također se navodi kako najbolje izabrati dramsku tehniku. Što želimo postići određenom dramskom tehnikom, kako uvesti djecu u rad, kako je grupa raspodijeljena i slično. Jedan dio rada posvećen je praktičnom prikazu procesne drame provedenoj u dječjem vrtiću. Uz taj praktični prikaz, zapisane su i izjave djece, koje će dokazati navedene tvrdnje da procesna drama ima puno više prednosti nego nedostataka. Kao i da u djeci budi suradništvo, maštu te razvoj samopouzdanja. Napominje se važnost odgojiteljevih kompetencija, uključenosti u rad grupe, kao i dobro poznavanje sve djece u grupi. U radu se često spominje riječ odgojitelj, no to se odnosi na sve učitelje, pedagoge, te one koji žele s djecom probati nov i zanimljiv način učenja. U prilogu rada nalazi se priprema opisane procesne drame na temu slikovnice Grigor Vitez; Razbojnik sa žutom pjegom. Navode se razne uloge koje voditelj može uzeti u radu s djecom, te je li poželjno mijenjati uloge ili nije. Osim svega navedenog, navodi se važnost razumijevanja dječjeg rasta i razvoja, pa je sukladno tome jedan dio rada posvećen mogućnostima predškolske djece.This paper deals with the theme of process drama in educational institutions, its definitions, advantages, disadvantages and similar.
