- The course adopts a mixed and active methodological approach, combining lectures with practical workshops, critical reading sessions, and guided debates. Strategies such as collaborative problem-solving, didactic simulations, drafting in epure, and the construction of pedagogical tests are used. The alternation between student and teacher roles is promoted as a way to develop a critical awareness of teaching and learning processes and to reinforce the capacity for didactic planning. The pedagogical model values ¿¿the integration of theory, practice, and critical reflection.
- Mandatory
- By the end of this course unit, students should be able to: 1. Understand the philosophical, epistemological, and didactic framework of Descriptive Geometry as a science of rational and empirical representation; 2. Master the fundamentals of the Dihedral System / Monge's Method, including point, line, plane, and auxiliary projections; 3. Identify, classify, and organize the main geometric concepts and figures, prioritizing their pedagogical value; 4. Formulate and solve geometric problems based on double orthogonal projection; 5. Design differentiated teaching strategies for teaching Descriptive Geometry, according to different contexts and student profiles; 6. Develop pedagogical tools such as exercises, assessments, and didactic-visual resources applicable to high school teaching.

Componente criativa - Produção de uma ilustração científico-didática (da obra Flatland, de Edwin A. Abbott, por exemplo). dd-mm-yyyy
30%
Componente pedagógica - Elaboração de um teste de avaliação com matriz de conteúdos, itens e critérios específicos de classificação. dd-mm-yyyy
30%
Todos os trabalhos devem integrar fundamentação teórica e pedagógica adequada. A ausência desses elementos será objeto de penalização significativa.
A avaliação valoriza o rigor técnico, a criatividade e a intencionalidade didática, promovendo a integração entre conhecimento geométrico, representação gráfica e competências docentes.
Adicionalmente poderão ser incluídas informações gerais, como por exemplo, referência ao tipo de acompanhamento a prestar ao estudante na realização dos trabalhos; referências bibliográficas e websites úteis; indicações para a redação de trabalho escrito...
- Semestral
- The CU is approached in an integrated way, articulating theory and practice from a critical professionalization perspective. The CU combines a theoretical and hermeneutical dimension, substantiated in the reading and discussion of philosophical and epistemological currents, with a practical and heuristic aspect, centered on problem-solving and creation, on drawing in epure and on the conception of didactic materials, from a perspective of exploring geometric thinking and the possibilities created by the circulation between perception, construction, representation and conception. The use of expository, participatory and laboratory methodologies aims to promote the balanced development of skills. Graphic experimentation takes place in drawing and design workshops, while the creation of pedagogical instruments results from guided reflective practice. The evaluation integrates graphic, creative and instrumental components, aligned with professional teaching practice.
