Avaliação pedagógica do ensino e aprendizagem de BIM na percepção discente e de mercado aplicado à geometria de processos construtivos

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a philosophy that brings many benefits, but it needs Architecture, Engineering and Construction professionals (AEC) to be adapted to this new work philosophy and methodology. In order to train professionals able to work in an innovative methodology like this, the UFC’s Civil Engineering course made available the discipline of BIM, called in portuguese Modelagem da Informação da Construção (MIC) with a focus on the active methodology of Problem Based Learning (PBL). In addition, the discipline introduced the Geometry of Constructive Processes (GPC) as a pedagogical teaching tool. A questionnaire was carried out with students from a higher educational institution where there is no BIM-focused discipline about their perception in the implementation of a possible discipline with this approach, a qualitative research using the technique of content analysis with the students that participated in the first group of MIC’s to evaluate the methodology and the accomplishment of the first class of the discipline and a questionnaire with professionals of AEC about an indicative formation in BIM to the students by the University. A quantitative exploratory analysis of baccalaureate students of the IFCE on a discipline with a BIM approach was obtained, the opinion of AEC professionals working with BIM on what they believe in what the BIM philosophy teaching approach should be university and the qualitative analysis of the main positive and negative points in the conception and execution of the MIC course by the students enrolled in the first group. ABP and GPC have proved to be good pedagogical tools for teaching BIM within the university and should continue to be stimulated as pedagogical tools.
