The efficacy of an audio-visual aid in teaching the neo-classical screenplay paradigm.

Thesis (DTech. degree in Drama) -- Tshwane University of technology, 2011. / The central theoretical statement of this study is that if one wishes to teach dramatic narrative structure, then an instructivist instrument such as an AVA would be useful, while one takes care of teaching the application of such a structure in a constructivist fashion. The purpose of the study was to design an effective teaching and learning (T&L) instrument (DVD AVA), justify the design through a literature study, and test the efficacy of the AVA through approved quantitative research methods. The research results showed a significant increase (12.6%) in the students construction of knowledge and a more skillful application of screenplay structure when they were trained by way of the AVA intervention as opposed to the traditional method.
