Integrating Theatre into STEM Curricula: A Case Study of Pedagogical Innovation in Underprivileged Schools

This study explores the effects of theatrical integration on student engagement, creativity, and critical thinking in STEM teaching in poor schools. There are still gaps in research and real-world application of multidisciplinary education, especially in developing nations, despite its increasing prominence. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study assesses the efficacy of integrated STEM and theatrical workshops by means of teacher surveys and classroom observations. Results show that these seminars greatly increase students’ interest in STEM fields and develop critical abilities like communication and collaboration. The partnership between educators and community partners emphasizes the necessity of designing curricula that are flexible and meet the requirements of a wide range of students. With the goal of addressing educational disparities and enhancing learning outcomes for marginalized kids, policymakers and educators can benefit from the insights provided by this study, which adds to the body of knowledge on creative pedagogical approaches.

There is a significant correlation between sleeping disorder and depression which is called “bidirectional relationship”. The studies show that sleeping disorders are a “symptom” of almost all types of depression such as Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder and so forth. On the other hand, depression itself can also be a cause of sleeping disorders. In addition, the studies show chronic sleep deprivation can cause the changes in Serotonin, which is the brain’s neurotransmitter, and will have a chance to lead to depression greater than acute sleep deprivation. As a result, people should raise awareness in sleeping and usually examine their sleep. To have less chance of depression, a person requires a healthy sleep period and effective care.
