This paper expresses a lecture of the experience of an investigation carried by a group of Latin American Fab Labs dedicated to the promotion of the use of modeling, digital fabrication, and network communication as tools of educational and social development of children in latin culture. This study is based on online workshop typologies with a methodological perspective that included local technological adaptations, data gathering, and exchange of knowledge on the fab lab network.
Resultados Sobre la Práctica del Diseño Asociado con el Trabajo Colaborativo y el Construccionismo en una Comunidad de Guarulhos, Brasil. This article has a purpose to introduce a methodology to learn the product design principles, applied with the children of a neighborhood in the City of Guarulhos, State of São Paulo. This project is developed through a workshop organized with the collaboration of the Unified Educational Center, two companies and a digital inclusion program of the Municipality of Guarulhos. In order to provide an understanding on the development stages of a product from its design through its completion, the workshop allowed the participants to learn together and provided the access to a simplified design procedure.
O presente artigo é um recorte de uma dissertação de mestrado desenvolvida no âmbito do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de São Paulo. Tal recorte analisará uma situação desencadeadora de aprendizagem (SDA) em uma formação continuada de professores que foi organizada em um contexto de uso de tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs) e de jogos digitais cujo conteúdo teórico ancora-se à álgebra nos anos iniciais. À vista dessa análise, adotou-se o método materialista-dialético e proposições da teoria Histórico-Cultural a fim de investigar as ações mediadoras que possibilitaram o surgimento de indícios de superação do pensamento empírico pelo do tipo teórico. Os resultados apontam que os procedimentos técnicos de comunicação/voz e de registro de símbolos pelo caderno digital, associados ao trabalho coletivo de professores com a mediação intencional do formador criaram condições que indicam um desenvolvimento do pensamento teórico mediado por nexos conceituais pertencentes à álgebra nos anos iniciais.
The product of a theoretical and empiric research, this paper discusses a common conceptual ground among the project area-which includes the architecture and the design-, basic education, and digital modelling and manufacturing technologies. Its subject is based on the contemporaneity, to the extent that it introduces new means of support for learning and teaching in basic education. In this way, the computer-to that moment used exclusively for text and image processing-allies with modelling, digital manufacturing, and network communication. As herein discussed, the word "design" is used with different meanings in the field of basic education, the first of which has a stronger relation with the field of arts, whereas the second one lies within the field of manufacturing technologies and the studies on the material culture of the contemporary society. Considering the common ground of said activities, which permeate the fields of design, basic education and digital technology, this research take into account a group of eighteen common points of agreement from a theoretical basis that subsided the field studies. Those studies were structured from four types of workshop held in the outskirts of Guarulhos, in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, organized in a free-access environment, and which are herein detailed. This theoretical and practical formulation has as purpose to address the considerations resulting from the studied common ground, insofar as digital modelling and manufacturing technologies has helped the development of languages and mental skills of such a young audience still in basic education. The aim is to advance the debate on the formation of the individual nowadays.
