Uso de realidade virtual como ferramenta a didática para a capacitação profissional de Técnicos em Edificações

Abstract

This research will analyze the pedagogical and didactic potential of Virtual Reality technology to promote the professional training of building technicians. This research is primarily based on an experimental approach conducted with teachers and students of the building technician course offered by the Federal Institute of Science, Education and Technology of Bahia, Salvador campus. It also aims to verify if this tool can help overcome the crisis of abstraction in construction technician education, enabling a better understanding of course content, especially that which requires spatial visualization. Furthermore, it intends to understand if Virtual Reality can provide richer learning experiences with practical environments and real-world, everyday contexts of civil construction, thus more fully preparing future technicians.
