Integrando as técnicas de representação gráfica: Um diálogo interdisciplinar

Resumo

The following article describes a research project entitled “Integration of Graphical Representation Techniques: An Interdisciplinary Approach with Computer use". This work started on November, 1998, at the School of Fine Arts of UFRJ. Headed by professor Maria Helena Wyllie L. Rodrigues with the help of six other colleagues, it has attracted the interest of two substitute professors as well as undergraduate and graduate students. It offers the opportunity to reflect and to answer questions of great relevance to the present time where the familiarity with computational graphical techniques becomes more and more vital. Although relatively new, the project has gathered a lot of impulse and promises to play an important role in creating a new way of thinking with regards to the teaching of geometry principles of the two and three-dimensional spaces. We describe some of the accomplishments done by the research group in these initial months of work.
