Luister-leer : die opvoedkundige moontlikhede van die hoorspel in Suid-Afrika

[摘要] ENGLISH SUMMARY: The aim of this study is to ascertain what the nature of educational drama is andwhether it would be feasible to apply educational radio drama to help meet thelearning needs of South Mrica. In England, the well-known educational radio serial,The Archers, has been broadcast by the BBC with great success since the Fifties.Hitherto radio drama in South Mrica has served primarily as a means to entertainlisteners.The study began with research into other didactic forms, such as folklore, drama- andtheatre-in -education, industrial theatre and sociodrama, as well as radio andtelevision as educational media. Further information was collected by means ofinterviews and correspondence.Two experimental radio productions, a series and a serial, were broadcast inMrikaans in 1997 and 1998 respectively on a national radio station,Radiosondergrense, in an attempt to determine the formula for, and the format of,outcomes based radio drama for a South Mrican audience.Included in this study are copies of scripts (industrial theatre, television drama, radiodrama) and the scripts of the two experimental radio productions. Each script isaccompanied by an analysis and evaluation. Recordings of the two experiments arealso included.According to the results of a professional market research campaign, the outcomesbased radio drama proved not only to be a popular educational tool, but also veryaccessible, since very few listeners felt excluded by such a format. Over and above itsinclusive nature, the enjoyment level of the experimental serial drama was rankedamong the highest of all (non-educational) programmes by respondents.The knowledge gained through researching available sources, coupled with the resultsof the market research, was used to formulate a text model, together with hints anddirections. With these aids, all language groups in South Mrica may create outcomesbased radio drama within the framework of language, culture and listeners' needs.
