In the process of teaching and learning the dramatic media such as Forum Theatre can be classified as concrete media material and its nature resembles the real situation. This dramatic media can exchange abstract experience in teaching and learning to concrete experience to create a whole human being from aspects of thinking, feeling and action. This article discusses the potential of Forum Theatre in forming a holistic human being as intended by the National Education Philosophy. A total of 12 participants were involved in this qualitative study. Data was collected through observation, focus group interviews and journal entries. Data collected using multiple methods were analysed using thematic analysis technique. The results prove that elements of Forum Theatre such as dialogue, training, acting, decision-making and internal and external principles can be a effective teaching technique to stimulate moral tinking and reasoning, moral emotion, moral action, empathy, critical and creative thinking and problem solving skills.

Artikel ini membincangkan potensi Teater Forum dalam membentuk manusia holistik seperti yang digariskan oleh Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan. Sebanyak 12 peserta terlibat dalam kajian kualitatif ini. Data dikumpul melalui pemerhatian, temu bual kumpulan berfokus dan entri catatan jurnal. Data yang dikumpul daripada pelbagai kaedah dianalisis dengan menggunakan teknik analisis tema. Hasil kajian membuktikan bahawa elemen-elemen Teater Forum seperti dialog, latihan, aksi lakonan, tindakan membuat keputusan dan prinsip-prinsip dalaman dan luaran boleh menjadi teknik pengajaran yang berkesan untuk merangsang aspek pemikiran moral, emosi moral, tindakan moral, empati, pemikiran kritis dan kreatif serta kemahiran penyelesaian masalah.]
