IMPROVEMENT OF TEACHING COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE THROUGH DRAMATIC THEATRICAL PROPOSALS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

Abstract

Didactic communication is a key element in the management of educational and pedagogical processes that take place in the classroom. This allows to organize effective and efficient learning environments in the classroom and promotes environments of communicative exchange with students that generate interest, thought and emotion for education. In the educational stages related to childhood, it is especially relevant to guide the construction of knowledge and the acquisition of skills and abilities. However, it is still subtly promoted in university spaces; and the attempts to train teachers in communicative competence are reduced, in general, to the practice of oral presentations, far removed from the school communicative reality. Multisensory theater pedagogy is another way of learning to communicate in the classroom. The main objective of this research is to analyze the development of learning situations based on theater pedagogy as a teaching strategy that improves didactic communication in teaching-learning processes from the narratives of teachers and teachers. The results indicate that it is a valuable pedagogical tool for the development of communication and pedagogical skills in teachers in general, and for those who are being trained in particular.
