Sociedade e teatro: a linguagem dramática como recurso didático no ensino de Sociologia.

Abstract

This paper presents suggestions for changes to the current education scenario. It questions and reflects, above all, some singularities and aspects of the School's social function as an institu-tion and its transformation into a research object in Sociology. In this bias, social and trans-formative, the character of the theater is added together with the sociological gears. The root of the proposal is based on the offer of a pedagogical guide with a pattern of experimenting with initial dialogues of Sociology and Theater, based on adapted textual cuts that guide the problematization of social events. Thus, from the methodological design of OCEM-Sociology, our research problematizes the use of the theatrical resource, being an aggregator to the concept of powerful knowledge, developed by Michael Young (1915-2002). In this way, we explored the Teatro na Escola Portal, a totally free website, which is configured as a space created and destined to share information and reflections on the teaching of theater in school and in the classroom. Thus, in this investigation, the methodological magnifying glass is of an exploratory and bibliographic nature, of a qualitative nature, based on books and some periodicals, websites and electronic journals with choice, among other sources. Finally, this junction, in addition, would allow other ways for students to have contact with different pro-posals for apprehension, experience and discussion of the content, so that they could respond efficiently to the demands and tests required by the curriculum. This evidence shows, in this way, the theater as a pedagogical option attentive to the formation of experiences with the use of different languages.
