Abstract In this paper, I argue that certain drama education practices pedagogically trouble didactic moral instruction and offer open and fertile ground for the exploration of morally ambiguous dilemmas. Referring primarily to the work of Joe Winston, I posit that theories of drama as moral education point to the desirability of an open moral agenda, and particularly that context and cultural specificity are essential when attempting to understand and experience moral issues in the classroom. In order to illuminate this issue I refer specifically to I’m Too Old for a Trike Now, a story drama structure by Carole Miller and Juliana Saxton. This story drama showcases the openness of the dramatic form and its effectiveness for meaningful exploration of moral ambiguities. I contend that it is through open and affective drama pedagogy that critical reflection and a more mature level of understanding is able to develop.

戏剧教室道德歧义和品格教育的视角

摘要在本文中，我认为某些戏剧教育实践在教学上给教义的道德指导带来了麻烦，并为探索道德模棱两可的困境提供了开放而沃土。我主要提到乔·温斯顿的作品，我认为戏剧理论作为道德教育指向了公开道德议程的必要性，尤其是当试图在课堂上理解和体验道德问题时，情境和文化特殊性至关重要。为了阐明这个问题，我专门指的是“我现在太老了，不适合现在的三轮车”，这是卡罗尔·米勒和朱莉安娜·萨克斯顿的故事戏剧结构。这部故事剧展示了戏剧形式的开放性及其对道德歧义的有意义探索的有效性。
