Representation and promotion of inclusive values through the use of performing arts in future teachers training

Abstract

Academic literature provides us with evidence supporting the demand to device teacher training programs able to aim awareness and reflection about inclusive education themes, moving beyond the only theorical and technical knowledge. The present paper proposes to show a pedagogical experience aimed at Primary Education students of Palermo University, which intends to promote a process of critical thinking on the representation and conceptualization of disability and inclusion, through a training methodology based on the use of performing arts for improving traditional Problem-based Learning approaches.
