Um diálogo entre epistemologia, educação e pedagogia teatral

Abstract

To transmit? To freed? To provocate? This paper approaches three epistemological theories (linked to the questions of the first phrase) and their relations with theories in the area of education and, more specifically, with Drama teaching. Each epistemological assumption is going to be accompanied by its own pedagogical extension, creating “pairs” between theories that are, in synthesis, empiricism/directive pedagogy, innatism/non-directive pedagogy, and constructivism/constructivist pedagogy. The text helps us to comprehend the relations between those theories and Drama teaching, as well as their adequacies and inadequacies. The work also presents criticism to empiricist and innatist approaches, as well as the pedagogies related to them, defending the adoption of a constructivist approach as a basis for the practices of Drama teachers. The research involves a literature review and has the foundation offered by authors of Epistemology, Education and Drama Pedagogy.
