Avaliação e auto­avaliação de atividades de representação gráfica digital utilizando mapas conceituais

Abstract

This research reports the use of conceptual maps as a strategy to explicit the learning processes of digital graphics representation, aiming at subsidizing the evaluation and selfevaluation activities. The processes related to Digital Graphics require that the student attains the computer science technology based on the recognition of parameters which control the simulation procedures to generate digital images, resulting from computing processes of geometric description and the phenomenon of interaction between light and matter. The high level of procedure automation provides low transparency to the representation activities. The conceptual maps allowed to explicit the construction and systematization trajectory of knowledge performed by the student, registering details and specifications of knowledge. It is important to point out that these activities are also the result of teaching/learning processes in the modality of distance learning based on the Internet. Thus, these maps have facilitated and also allowed the evaluation and selfevaluation activities of students and professors.
