Tecnologias e estratégias de uso da modelagem gráfica tridimensional como ferramenta de auxílio à docência

Abstract

Continuous technological development has led to a revolution and renewal of the digital media. This implies that new forms of interaction and acquisition of knowledge are created. New resources are now able to modify the learning process, among these resources we have the Three-Dimensional Computer Graphics with large application. This can replace models that require more resources for a low cost development. In addition it can provide greater abstraction and help to create complex images. This type of 3D tool has been increasingly used by teachers to support teaching, because it is something closer to the language of the students. This work seeks to recover and analyze the scientific studies that contribute to the use of three-dimensional modeling as a tool for teaching with regard to technology and educational strategies. For this purpose, a Systematic Bibliographic Review (RBS) with research questions was developed and an adapted protocol was used to describe the details of the planning, the conduction of search and data extraction, and storage. Through the analysis of relevant studies, it was observed that there is a lack of work addressing the steps of the development and application. Greater attention is given to the aspects of software than to the educational aspects. Six different approaches were identified, among them, games-oriented approaches and collaborative learning with the use of AR (Augmented Reality). It also identified prevalences of GUIs (Graphical User Interface), secondly the use of NUIs (Natural User Interface), as well as aspects of software development.This study characterized the state of the art regarding the resources for 3D tools, observed the approaches and technologies most often used, and made the use and design of this tool more understandable.
