Art as Ludic Strategy for Teaching Philosophy

Abstract

This article arises from a research project about the difficulties that students of 11 grade have to learn Philosophy from the I.E. Bijao in the municipality of El Bagre, sub-region of Bajo Cauca, in the department of Antioquia. Although Philosophy could be recognized as a subject that contributes a lot to the lives of students and their professional future, it was also found that in the Institution playful or artistic activities were seldom carried out in the classes, consequently, several students expressed feeling apathy and laziness towards the subject because they considered it something that had no connection with the reality of their environment. It was concluded that it is necessary to begin to decisively implement playful strategies through artistic activities. The same students recognized that the way of teaching it negatively influences their perception of it. It is therefore essential that playful strategies be implemented, using Art and artistic activities as a resource to enhance learning in the area of Philosophy.
