The purpose of this study was to look at the efficiency of drama techniques in teaching Social Studies to 78 students from Rizal Technological University - Pasig Campus's College of Education. The study is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design that included pretest and post-test scores. The control group received traditional or non-dramatic instruction, whereas the experimental group received theatrical approaches. The participants were separated into two groups depending on their age and gender. The researchers used an independent t-test to see if there was a significant difference in the pretest and post-test scores of the individuals depending on age and gender. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in pretest and post-test scores for each variable at the 5% level. As an outcome, using drama techniques in Social Studies class results in more effective and increased learning.
