ROLE PLAYING, PERSONAL FULFILLMENT AND SELF-CONCEPT: OVERCOMING SOCIAL VULNERABILITY AND DEVELOPING SPONTANEITY

Abstract

This work is directed to the Latin context and comprehend the psychodramatic theory presented by Jacob Levy Moreno as a pedagogic alternative in the development of a more solid and positive self-concept, as well as one of well-being and self-esteem, providing aids in overcoming social vulnerability and in the improvement of a healthier handling of relationships. Education related to everyday life becomes capable of influencing positively contexts and routines, using the personal and institutional freedom as devices to convert regulations ruling the Latin educational thinking. The indications are that the intervention through role-playing is effective in developing spontaneity and providing new spaces of reflection. Role-playing makes use of techniques, experiences and psychodramatic games, contributing in the production and construction of a spontaneity able to assure new spaces, behaviors and greater personal fulfillment, managing our own existence and resulting in better levels of health and well-being. The context of children and teenagers must be of an environment that discusses the self-esteem as a proposal of the pedagogic policy project, that generates values of kindness and principles of empathy and solidarity, making the school a "locus" of humanization and construction of consciousness, not only in its cognitive aspects, but also its ethic, moral and affective ones. When educators create affective bonds with the students, providing spaces of narrative and initiative, emerges a support propitious to better learning and satisfaction to both, increasing the behavioral and affective repertoire, spontaneity and making the living in a school environment more reinforcing.
