Estágio curricular: tensionamentos da racionalidade técnica na formação de professores de teatro

Abstract

The present academic paper consists of a study that analyzes the presence of Technical Rationality in the process of Teacher Training in the Theater, starting from the experiences offered by the undergraduate course in Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará (IFCE-CE) – in Fortaleza. In order to accomplish this work, it was made an approximation with reflections inherent to Technical Rationality, especially the criticism developed by Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer in the Dialectic of Enlightenment (1985), and the valorization of some aspects about the experiences derived from the Teachers’ Training Course, as a student. Since this study deals with teacher education in the Theater area, there was also an approach to works related to Teacher Training such as studies by Selma Garrido Pimenta (1995, 1996, 2005 and 2010) and Dermeval Saviani (1991, 1994, 2005, 2007a , 2007b, 2007c and 2009), also writers from theater, like Augusto Boal (2012) and Bertolt Brecht (2005).This paper also had the art educator Ana Mae Barbosa’s book (2008a, 2008b) “Analyzes on the importance of art in education. The methodology adopted for the accomplishment of this case study was a mix of questions aimed at the Theater Teachers’ Training, focusing on the formation of that course. The reflections were supported on teacher education, work and education, and it brought to discussion some aspects derived from Theater Teaching and Theater as a Language, starting from the experiences and readings related to the Theater Teachers’ formation for the concrete picture of the work of theater teaching, guided by Marxist dialectical historical materialism.
