O Impacto do Teatro do Oprimido na Resolução de Questões Sociocientíficas

Student engagement in science subjects is closely linked to cultural diversity, considering factors such as gender, social class, and ethnicity, as well as the ways young people relate to science. To understand what influences this engagement, it is essential to observe how students experience and express the knowledge they acquire. Interdisciplinarity with the Theatre of the Oppressed can create more inclusive teaching experiences, fostering participation and empowerment. This study aims to understand how students engage in interdisciplinary activities combining Science and Theatre by analysing discursive interactions during an activity on bat ecology. Using a case study approach the research identified various types of engagement and observed how the Theatre of the Oppressed influences the resolution of socio-scientific issues. It enhances discussions and problem-solving by addressing subjectivities, rationality, and the multiple factors influencing decision-making.
