O Storytelling como ferramenta de aprendizado ativo

Abstract

This article focuses on the practice of storytelling to investigate its connections with the methodology of active learning. In order to do so, we introduce the debate on active earning, its purposes, strategies, and methodologies to highlight the contributions from the use of storytelling as a pedagogical tool. The main objectives of the article are: to clarify and highlight the differences between the activity and practice of storytelling as a form of entertainment and the usefulness of this practice in areas where it has not been used, such as in International Relations. We investigate the incorporation of the practice through the methodology of active learning and in what ways make storytelling a primordial element in the constitution of the learning environment at different levels of education. We conclude that among its contributions are the retention of knowledge in the long term and the construction of significant connections between the object and social reality of students, which may generate interaction between contexts on different levels: local, national and international.
