Antígona, desde el teatro clásico al Derecho Puro. Perspectivas de la enseñanza a través del método del case-study
2019
espanolEl presente trabajo tiene como objetivo tomar la teoria del “case – study” y aplicarla de forma original a la ensenanza del Derecho, a traves del analisis de la obra de teatro clasico Antigona de Sofocles. Es menester desatacar que son cada vez mas frecuentes los factores que nos demuestran que los alumnos encuentran dificultades para superar el abismo que media entre las abstracciones teoricas y las situaciones confusas que se presentan en la realidad.

Abstract This study addresses the crucial relationship between theory and practice as a key feature of professional learning in initial teacher education. The context for the study is an EU-funded intensive programme drawing on different dimensions of insideness and outsideness and arts-based pedagogies in response to the diversity of education today. The data for the study comes from self-selected pages from preservice teacher participants’ reflective sketchbooks. As a methodological approach that unifies the sensuous and cognitive this study suggests that reflective sketchbooks document the dialogic encounters of students whilst also providing a material space that can itself become a for…
