Sociodrama in the Training of Social Educators
An Exploratory Research
Keywords:
sociodrama, social education, personal training, social training, professional trainingAbstract
The object of this study is sociodrama as a training method in the Social Education degree.
Using a qualitative research methodology, the aim was to understand how this method
contributed, over two academic years, to promoting the personal, social, and professional
development of students. In the four groups studied, the sociodrama method enables
openness to multiple perspectives upon reality, sharing of feelings, and creative search of
solutions to solve problems and difficulties, generating conditions toward the development
of flexibility and spontaneity essential in professional practice.
