    Drama in education: words into action
    Byrne, Carmel ( 1989)
    The senior years of education in Victorian schools will undergo significant changes as a result of the introduction of the new Victorian Certificate of Education in 1991. This study examines the ways in which the Victorian Certificate of Education will influence: the perceived purpose of schooling at this level, the method of developing curriculum, and the discipline of drama. The Study Design Drama is explored, in a hypothetical situation, in order to assess the efficacy of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Board's Study Structure Approach to curriculum construction. Focus is placed upon the question: Is it possible for the teacher to maintain ownership of the curriculum under the Victorian Certificate of Education?
