Abstract

Shadow theatre is an educational resource based on the use of silhouettes and the body as a means of communication. It allows the incorporation of music and sound effects that help students discover movement possibilities in the stage space. It also encourages collaborative work through the creation of groups. Therefore, the aim of this research is the incorporation of shadow theatre as a performance art for the promotion of uninhibited corporal expression and group cohesion. An action-research methodology is used to define a didactic proposal that incorporates shadow theatre in the field of music education at primary school. The learning situation is carried out in two public schools in the province of Malaga, with a sample of 213 students. The results indicate that shadow theatre effectively improved pupils’ body expression and group cohesion. Some students had initial difficulties, but thanks to the anonymity provided by this resource, fear of ridicule was reduced. It is proposed to compare this resource with theatre in order to define whether the method of incorporating the shadow is really effective.

Abstract

El aprendizaje permanente y el desarrollo profesional de los docentes de escuela primaria son esenciales para una educación de calidad. Esta investigación compara las experiencias de profesores especialistas de música y profesores generalistas de primaria del sur de España. A través de entrevistas semiestructuradas se encontró que ambos grupos valoran la formación en servicio y ven la necesidad de adaptarse a los cambios socioculturales y tecnológicos. Sin embargo, señalan dificultades como la falta de tiempo dedicado a la formación dentro de su jornada laboral y la dificultad de aplicar lo aprendido por falta de recursos. Mientras los profesores de música quieren una formación más específica en su área y subrayan la importancia de la interdisciplinariedad y la colaboración entre profesores, los generalistas enfatizan la gestión de la diversidad en el aula. Los estudios futuros podrían abordar cómo las instituciones pueden apoyar de manera más efectiva la formación y el desarrollo docente en función de las necesidades identificadas en esta investigación.
