Active methodologies in teaching and learning of descriptive geometry: from concrete to abstract

Abstract

In the teaching-learning of Descriptive Geometry in the Architecture and Urbanism course, in order to resolve the negative impact in relation to the discipline, a method that we call concrete to abstract was adopted. In this method we adopt a different approach from the classic teaching-learning of descriptive geometry that starts from the point, which we call abstract for concrete, which we call the threedimensional. In addition to the inversion of the approach, we also include active methodologies in this process, ranging from origami to the use of digital tools. In addition to the presentation of the “concrete to abstract” method, a survey was also carried out among the students of the course so that we could evaluate the applicability of the method during the three semesters of operation of the course.
