Teatro-fórum para o ensino e aprendizagem de ciências

Abstract

This project presents a proposal for the use of generating issues of Paulo Freire allied to the Teatro - Fórum. The proposal is appropriated because the students start to recognize problems in their daily life and they produce scripts for plays based on these problems, the same time as they have the opportunity to appropriate the scientific knowledge related to them. The problematizing education proposed by Freire requires a commitment to the local social transformation, not to mention that the study of theater requires sensory exercises that help people to express all the physical and psychological reactions, contributing to the appropriation of concepts of Sciences concepts involved in the activities. It is noteworthy that the production of plays by the educating people as from community problems, whose theme was the Dengue, led these people to the research process since they had to relatethe content offered by the school to the study of these topics and their applications.This is a qualitative, which was carried in public school named Prof. Higa Izaura. The attendees students were in the 2nd year of high school. In order to perform the processing of information recorded during the investigation of the thematic universe of learners and throughout the developed didactic intervention, we used the categorical content analysis proposed by Bardin.The results suggest that the Forum - Theatre is favorable to be used as a teaching resource, because it contributed to up rise changes in the way people studied and grasp the contents in particular in biology.
