Ensino – aprendizagem de sociologia na periferia da cidade de São Paulo: contribuições da abordagem sociopsicodramática para a educação

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to show how the Sociopsicodrama can contribute to the teaching of Sociology, from meetings in a public school in the peripheral region of São Paulo. The theoretical references that support the analysis depart from Jacob Levy's Socionomia of the basic concepts of Psychodrama, finding historical support in the pedagogy of the Drama of Maria Alicia Romaña, and the analysis of contemporary authors. The history of the teaching of Sociology in Brazil was analyzed and the changes proposed in a New Common Curricular Base for high school students. A qualitative field research was conducted with youngsters in a school environment. Six meetings were chosen whose criteria for choice involved the relevance of the experience. They provided the adolescents experiences involving the formation of attitudes, understanding of the reality that surrounds them and development of the critical sense. As a result, the insertion of creative and spontaneous ways of developing classes, proved to be well accepted by adolescents, especially in the last meeting. They were able to get in touch with the relevant content of the classes in an integrated manner in experiential proposals, through group inter-relation, active participation and interaction result in meetings that generated interest on the part of the students, and reflect ions that extrapolate the formal content of textbooks and lectures.
