Evaluating the effect of the teaching method "role play and drama" in promoting students' interest in geography (a case study of Abadan humanities students)

Students' interest in the subject of the lesson plays a central role in learning. The teaching method in the process of understanding the lesson, due to the lack of facilities, requires the genius and art of the teacher. New teaching methods that are based on students' interest-inducing activities can improve learning and the result of education. The present research was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of using the role-playing method and its combination with demonstration in students' interest in geography. The research method is based on the description of experimental performance. The statistical population was 455 among the students available to the authors, and 208 were randomly selected as the statistical sample size of the research using Morgan's method. In the classes that were selected as the sample size, the role-playing and demonstration method was implemented and compared with the rest of the statistical population. The results showed that the use of role-playing and demonstration methods in the geography lesson increases students' interest in this lesson.
