Metodologias ativas digitais para o ensino de Geometria descritiva em Cursos de Engenharia e Arquitetura

Abstract

The work consisted in diagnosing, through comparative analysis, which methodologies were used in the processes of teaching of spatial cognition in students of Descriptive Geometry, in the disciplines that involved the subject for the courses of Engineering and Architecture and Urbanism of the UFC. The steps considered three sub-projects (1) Traditional Method; (2) Hybrid Method, e; (3) Computational Method. The methodological steps were: (a) Softwares, types of hardware (3D printers, etc) and 3D physical modeling methodologies of objects given in the classroom, aimed at the teaching of GD in the disciplines; (b) insertion of digital media (video-lessons) to the topics covered in the didactic-pedagogical material on the Youtube link; (c) benchmarking tests of student learning 'before' and 'after' the application of the new contents and physical models researched. The analysis of teaching methods and data reveals that students bring a traditional and passive pedagogical posture with little previous knowledge about the graphic language. However, they are more motivated to opt for the use of active digital methodologies as motivators of the learning process, in a collaborative way, applied to the universe of the students and driven by software to support the teaching of Dynamic Descriptive Geometry.
