PRÁTICAS PEDAGÓGICAS DE UMA PROFESSORA-ARTISTA EM FORMAÇÃO: NARRATIVAS DA EXPERIÊNCIA FORMATIVA NO GRUPO CULTURART

Abstract

This TCE (Internship Completion Project) is an experience report on the pedagogical practices of a teacher-artist in training and the study on the importance of the Culturart Group as a non-formal institution that teaches theater and contributes to the integral development of citizens. This research was carried out through the results achieved in Internship III of the completion of the Bachelor's Degree in Theater, by student Adelma Regina at UFBA (Federal University of Bahia). The non-formal education institution is Grupo Culturart, a theater group located in Campo Formoso-BA, northern Bahia. Adelma has been part of Culturart for 16 years and throughout this time she has been able to see how theater is a source of learning and develops through all the practices carried out daily in the work proposed by the group. To support this research, we try to point out the various experiences lived inside and outside the school environment, as we also had the experience of an internship in a formal education environment, which was at Escola Professora Maria de Carmo. Thus, we saw the need to show how non-formal education can also aggregate and develop students' knowledge. It is true that school is important, but it is not the only environment that helps in the educational process, and therefore, we cannot separate what happens outside of school, in the family and cultural environment where the student finds himself. Education is a constant process, being the result of institutions and social relationships. We live in a time when Brazilian education finds itself in a complex context, surrounded by difficulties that require new teaching options. These new options need to help achieve an adequate quality of education, make schools enjoyable and students want to learn. Non-formal environments, in this context, help achieve this goal. Non-formal education organizes the teaching and learning process without following several formal requirements, through art demonstrated through theater that does not appear to replace formal education, but rather to complement it. Non-formal spaces should be enjoyable places that value emotions and motivations, and the Culturart Group has been working with this perspective of education with young people and adults for 34 (thirty-four) years.
