A importância do ensino de teatro segundo um professor, um gestor, alunos e pais

Abstract

This monograph proposes, through data analysis, to reflect on what thinks a small group formed by a teacher, a manager, students and parents on the importance of Theater teaching. For this purpose was a questionnaire given to the participants, in which they answered if they think the teaching of Theater important and why? From the answers obtained, two categories were created, one with the answers of participants who denied the importance and another with those who recognized the importance of Theater teaching. To analyze these answers, we worked with authors who think about the importance of teaching Art and Theater teaching in the school context, authors that address the challenges that the teaching of Art and Theater have to establish themselves as subjects within the scope of public school of formal education. Most participants recognized the importance of theater teaching, but these defenses have varied arguments. These arguments relate to the recognition of the Theater as specific content, to the Theater as entertainment, to the Theater as support of socialization and therapy, as support of cognitive development, as a mechanism of talent scouting and to the Theater as a way of knowing oneself and the world. Research such as this becomes important, especially in the Amazonian scenario, where this type of debate and reporting is still scarce.
