LEARNING THROUGH THEATRICALITY: EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH AND DATA ANALYSIS
Abstract
This research has focused on the latest discoveries in the field of neuroscience and Embodied Cognition and a didactic based on theatre which, as several studies confirm, is able to implement the cognitive-affective-relational development of the person, and specifically, of the child (Troiano, 2018; Immordino, 2017).
It was applied an experiential didactive based on the “Education to Theatricality” of prof. Gaetano Oliva, whose main objective is to accompany the subject to form himself through personal experience, the discovery of himself, his possibilities and his limitations, in order to express himself, to relate and then to communicate (Oliva, 2017).
The sample, composed of children from 3 to 6 years old, experienced a dramatic play, a formative and educational activity. The aim was to stimulate the child in several ways, to help him develop his social, emotional and cognitive skills.
The NEPSY-II and AEPS tests used for the assessment were administered before the start of the activity and at the end of the meeting session.
