Abstract:
There are many class activities where the professor alters his/her role of information sender and becomes a director that is a person who gives small pieces of advice on how certain actions should unfold. The professor director presents the students with a situation briefs them and supervises them but the hard work is eventually done by the students. What we are talking about here are drama sessions or even drama clubs.

Students together with their professor pick a dramatic subject and act it making minor or more considerate changes. Getting into the role better helps the student understand his/her qualities and even their future profession.

These activities are more important when their performance takes place in a class with disabled children. Drama becomes a way to help them to better adapt to the realities of life and improve their performances in education.

Our research aims to underline the fact that students with minor and mild deficiencies acquire the information given by teachers easier when the teachers use drama while teaching or refreshing the lesson.

It is important for the teachers to-be to understand the fact that drama is a very good practice in order to help the students learn more and understand how to use the acquired information.
