Abstract

This article examines the factors of creative drama in the educational system and identifies its relationship and strategy in the reproduction of national culture. The aim of the research is to identify and present a model for the reproduction of national culture through creative representation in the educational system. The findings of the research were analyzed in the theoretical dimension by the method of qualitative content analysis with an emphasis on the index of "creative process" and "creative environment" with a synergistic (diachronic) approach. Thus, along with the presentation of tables and graphs, it has been demonstrated in a reasoned manner how, according to Hofstede's views, creative representation in the educational system leads to cultural reproduction he results of the research identify the contradiction between existing realities, how Hofstede's cultural dimensions can be integrated into the dimensions of creative drama, the emergence and occurrence of humanization through creative drama, and the explanation of the model of socio-cultural reproduction within the dimensions of creative drama. Finally, the authors have proposed the development of using the capacities of creative dramatic as a new approach based on the reproduction of cultural values in the educational system.
