Abstract(s)
O Ensino a Distância e, em particular, o e-Learning têm vindo a constituir alternativas ou
complementos ao ensino tradicional. A substituição da sala de aula e dos horários rígido
por um espaço indefinido com horário flexível, de facto, veio possibilitar o início, a continuação
ou a conclusão de estudos que de forma clássica seriam impossíveis ou, pelo
menos, mais penosos. Muitas áreas do conhecimento, como as Línguas e Literatura ou
mesmo a Matemática, podem integrar-se, de forma relativamente fácil, neste modelo de
aprendizagem. No entanto, no que respeita à Geometria Descritiva, uma disciplina tradicionalmente
de apreciável complexidade, a situação não se mostrou pacífica – como
demonstrar o funcionamento de um processo de representação bidimensional de formas
tridimensionais, que se situam no espaço? Apesar de existir software didáctico de qualidade,
existem perfis de alunos que encontram dificuldade em lidar com ilustrações, mesmo
que em perspectivas muito próximas da realidade. É neste âmbito, que esta dissertação
desenvolve um modelo de Ensino a Distância (ou mesmo misto, o b-Learning) em
que a construção e manipulação de Modelos constitui a principal via de aprendizagem do
aluno relativamente a esta disciplina. A possibilidade de manipulação, que se concebeu e
disponibiliza, associada às características social e construtivista da plataforma Moodle
(onde foi implementada esta metodologia), contribui para um maior envolvimento do
aluno no seu próprio processo de ensino-aprendizagem: as orientações apresentadas nos
sucessivos documentos permitem-lhe observar, analisar, inferir e chegar às conclusões
daquilo que lhe é apresentado, invariavelmente, de forma bidimensional.
Distance Education and e-Learning, in particular, became alternatives or complementation to traditional teaching. Substituting classroom and fixed schedules by an undefined place and time flexible, made possible the beginning and conclusion of studies that through classic ways would not be so efficient, impossible or, at least, more laborious. Many areas of knowledge, as Languages and Literature or Mathematics, can be easily adapted to e-Learning models. However, for Descriptive Geometry studies and learning the process can not be so standard – how to demonstrate the functioning of a process of bi-dimensional representation of three-dimensional forms, that if point out in the space? Although there is some educational software available, general pupils’ profiles find difficulty in dealing with illustrations, even as perspectives close to reality. It is within this scope, that this dissertation develops a model of Education (or in the distance exactly mixing, b-Learning) where the construction and manipulation of Models is one of the main ways of learning Descriptive Geometry. The manipulation possibilities developed here, side by side the social and constructivist characteristics of the Moodle platform (where the methodology developed here has been implemented), contributes for a bigger involvement of pupils in their proper process of teach-learning: orientations and advises presented in successive documents allow the observation and analysis towards the right conclusions, even of course, invariably, through a bi-dimensional image.
