Abstract:
The Physical Education courses are mainly composed of disciplines related to biological, human, and social sciences. In general, students have difficulties in understanding specific knowledge of biological sciences such as physiology. The purpose of this work is to describe and analyze a pedagogical experience in which the language of theater was used in the classroom to enable students to access bioenergetic content, a component of physiology. The pedagogical experience was carried out in a planned situation of classes at a public university in southern Brazil in the year 2023 and had the participation of about 40 students. The results indicate that the theater enabled the subjects to produce multiple meanings to the treated content, indicating that the students understood the concepts worked on the theme. The fundamental elements in the process were the increase in interaction between students and the sharing of meanings between teacher and students.
