The procedure relating to the research was implemented at a primary school in Izmir during the 2006-2007 academic years’ spring term. The participants of the study were composed 20 sixth grade students. In the study, drama method was used on the subject of the surface areas and volumes of vertical prisms in mathematics of sixth grade. As for data collection tools, “Self-Efficacy toward Geometry Scale” and “Interview Form” were used to determine the students’ beliefs of self-efficacy. In the analysis of the data, Paired Samples t-Test was used as the data of the research were compatible with normal distribution. Based on the data obtained from the investigation, it was found that the students said that the creative method was entertaining and useful.
