Participants in Group A (treatment classes) and Group B (control classes) of the
study were members of the small group enrichment classes and attended morning or
afternoon classes based on the school’s master scheduling of small group
enrichment. Drama treatment groups (Group A) consisted of one fourth grade
class (n = 9) and one fifth grade class (n = 10) of small group enrichment students.
The study’s non-drama control groups (Group B) consisted of one fourth grade
small group (n = 12) and one fifth grade small group of enrichment students
(n = 7). Students were not assigned to these classes by random assignment, but
were pre-enrolled following routine scheduling by the administration.
