ABSTRACT: Sociodrama is a
learning process focused on solutions for human relationship problems. It
offers the opportunity for groups to clarify values and review behaviors,
practicing new spontaneous and creative attitudes. The objective of this work
is to analyze and discuss how sociodrama can be used as a methodological
strategy for cooperative education in business administration. More
specifically, to show how sociodramatic sessions can be used in different
organizational contexts and to discuss how sociodramatic interventions foster
creativity and change in the learning process between the main facilitator
and other actors involved. To reach those objectives, three experiences are
presented in the paper. The situations here presented show that the same
technique, used with different groups, is a creative way to intervene and work
with groups. It can serve critical thinking and group bonding, can foster
motivation or help a group clarify values and define priorities.
