Abstract

Preservice teachers are required to reflect upon their internships and their roles within them. They are usually required to document these reflections in a written format but in a required class for preservice teachers, drama is used as the medium to record individual reflections. This paper is about the use of ethnodrama as a research methodology among preservice teachers and the research question evaluates drama as an innovative tool that chronicles and elicits transformative possibilities.
