The evolutionary tendency in teaching Technical Drawing in the field of construction in Cuba / La tendencia evolutiva en la enseñanza del Dibujo Técnico de la construcción en Cuba

Abstract

The  evolutionary  tendency  in  teaching  Technical  Drawing  in  the  field  of construction  in  Cuba  provides  a  first  approach  from  different  points  of  views  to this  discipline.  It  all  began  with  the  first  professor  that  taught  Drawing  and
Geometry  in  Camagüey  who continued  showing  the evolution  of  this  subject matter  until  1959.  Later  on, Ernesto  “Ché”  Guevara began  leading  the Normalization  which  set  up  the  foundation  to  industrialize  the  field  of construction.  In  teaching  this  course,  the  first  thing  to  be  done is  to  recognize the work done by the professor from Camagüey who taught Drawing in the field of  Construction  after  1959.  Then,  the  staff  of  teachers  teaching  Graph  in engineering at the University of Camagüey still has good results. Afterwards, it
is  included  in  the  Discipline  that  is  called  Graphic  Representation  of  Civil Engineering  and  in  the  Descriptive  Geometry  Study  Program.  The  paper concludes  with  the  foundation  of  the  WEB  site  used  for  learning  Descriptive
Geometry  and  it  was  designed  by  taken  into  account  the  pedagogic  theories  of Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky and Jerome Bruner.

Keywords: Technical  Drawing,  Graphic  Expression, Representation, Normalization.
