Jogos teatrais e psicomotricidade: práticas interdisciplinares voltadas à Inclusão

Abstract

Researchers and educators have found in the application of theatrical games to students with disabilities a wide range of possibilities for the development of learning. The main objective is to investigate the following question: how can the Theatrical Games from Viola Spolin contribute to the sessions of Psychomotricity and to the students' expression, such as corporal, vocal, sound and/or oral expressions, in the AEE (Specialized Educational Assistance) from the school Escola Municipal Professor Mário Godoy Castanho? To fulfill this objective, it was necessary to develop a methodological basis, make a selection of the students, choose the theoretical references and select the activities to be developed. The methodology used was ethnography, more specifically, participant observation, because it was a qualitative research. The criteria used to select the students were the compatibility of both, chronological age and the resemblance related to the cognitive aspects. To base the research theoretically, we used the Theatrical Games from Viola Spolin. In the course of the work appeared questions related to the individuality of the students and to their learning process. Nevertheless, it was possible to verify that the use of theatrical games associated with psychomotricity classes attends the expectation of pedagogical practice directed at stimulating the expansion of communication.
