Clownizando-Ando. El Clown como mediador entre los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje

Abstract

This article recounts how the experience and training as a Clown actor of the researcher is transmitted to a teacher in the area of natural sciences and how the application of the Clown technique in his teaching practice results in strengthening the teaching and learning processes in the students of the course 504 of the IED Carlos Pizarro Leongómez school in the town of Bosa in the city of Bogotá. The research process is carried out through the action research method and is qualitatively focused. Throughout the article the reader will find the development of the research process around meaningful learning, cognitive development and the Clown technique. Clownizando-ando aims to show the Clown as an actor in the educational sector capable of transforming the paradigms of pedagogy around teaching and education processes into a liquid modernity, which according to Bauman (2015), is considered as a society that seeks achieve everything immediately, in a fluid and volatile state, without too solid values, in which the uncertainty due to the dizzying speed of change has weakened human bonds, placing teachers in a place where there is a constant search for new pedagogical resources that significantly transform the classroom experience, both for teachers and students.
