PERFORMANCE, EDUCATION AND PHYSICS EDUCATION: UNANTICIPATED APPROXIMATIONS

ABSTRACT: The article seeks to explore the meanings that a critical performative pedagogy can acquire in the context of physics teaching. We start from a reflection about the movements of thought that the notion of performance provokes, especially in the contexts of education and science, in order to delimitate what critical performative methodologies can be. A series of narratives of educational experiences in the context of an undergraduate degree course in physics and an extension-program project in state public schools lead to reflections focusing on three fundamental aspects of these works: the poetic experience of the ephemeral, the presence of a body that reflects and creates, and the possibilities of stressing and playing with the norms that structure school relations.
