Desenvolvimento de um Curso EAD para o Ensino da Ferramenta Computacional Autocad 2D

This paper aims to evaluate, from a statistical analysis, the results of the implementation of a distance learning course for the teaching of the software AutoCAD 2D, with pedagogical model specially developed for this purpose. This tool is used by the Instrumented Technical Design undergraduate course, offered by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. A pedagogical model was created and a course was developed in the virtual learning environment (VLE) Moodle UFRGS. Once the course creation has been completed, the implementation process for its validation has been started. Three groups of graduate students from different Engineering courses were formed, with different profiles and no previous knowledge of AutoCAD. The results were statistically analyzed using the SPSS Statistics computational tool. At each implementation, changes were made to the course for its improvement. Statistical analysis showed that the performance of the students who did the last version of the distance learning course was quite satisfactory, being compared to the performance of the students who learned the tool in classroom teaching. Thus, it can be concluded that the pedagogical model proposed by this work is appropriate for the teaching of this software in this distance learning course model. Keywords: Distance learning (DL).
