Construindo conceitos de geometria a partir da elaboração de ladrilhos

Abstract

Plane geometry is a relevant thematic unit in high school degree integrated with professional education, as in the case of the building technician. In this way, this work was developed with general objective of applying the plane geometry in content that the course of buildings lacks, using the concept of tiles. The activities were carried out in a class of the first year of the technical course integrated in buildings - youth and adult education (PROEJA) at Federal Institute Farroupilha - Campus Panambi. It was decided to work with this public given the importance of the tiles in the professional practice of the building technician, since this content is applied in the laying of floors and coatings. The theoretical framework was based on Ausubel's studies on meaningful learning. For the development of the proposal, three meetings were held, following the steps of notion, consolidation and deepening of the content. Students were encouraged to build tiles using colored sulfite paper and rubber material, in compliance with the laws of good tile behavior. It was observed that the work with tiles proved to be a very important ally in the search for the objectives and we perceive in each activity the interest and participation of the students. We emphasize that this theme is of great importance for the profession chosen by these future professionals of buildings, which was a big point in favor of the activity. Another important positive aspect was that those who already worked in the civil construction sector were able to assimilate the content and the proposal of the work faster and with more meaning, thus demonstrating the ideas of subsubscriptions proposed by Ausubel.
