| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| This study aims to examine the improvement of interpersonal skills through the application of active learning in the teaching and learning of art education. The approach used is the theatre-play approach. Theatre games are used as a fresh and appropriate approach to learning art education subjects through various types of games applied with multiple theatre techniques, including improvisation, role-playing, physical exercise, and voice acting. The issue of art education is a theoretical and practical one that requires high focus during learning. Therefore, theatre games are applied to encourage active learning and prevent students from getting bored when education is conducted online. Students play, act, improvise, and sing while learning. This qualitative study used observation and interview methods to involve eight Form 5 students at the Malaysian Art School. The study applies social learning theory and constructivist learning theory. The data was thematically analysed using Nvivo software. Findings found that active learning takes place through the application of a theatre game approach and highlights students' interpersonal skills. Two-way communication occurs in every activity because the activity is carried out in groups. Studies on the learning of art subjects that apply this active learning through theatre games are believed to promote confidence and stimulate students to improve their interpersonal skills without realising it. © 2024, Semarak Ilmu Publishing.
