The purpose of this study is to examine the direction of educational drama through an analysis of the revised educational curricula in 2015 and 2022. It aims to explore ways to expand educational drama into classroom teaching. The study proposes two directions for the expansion of educational drama in school. First, it suggests that educational drama should not be confined to achievement criteria within the Korean language subject but should be linked to the achievement criteria of other subjects as well. Second, the study proposes integrating and restructuring learning topics from various subjects into educational drama. The implications of this study are as follows: First, Educational drama should break away from the formal constraints of achievement criteria in the educational curriculum and textbook-based theater units. Second, Building connections with learning topics in general subjects is essential. Since dramatic experiences are meaningful cultural activities, students should encounter educational drama in various learning topics through the restructuring of lessons. Third, Educational drama should not be limited to learning dramatic techniques but should be rooted in classroom teaching that encourages students to imagine, empathize, and express through their bodies.
