Developing qualitative models for structural learning

Structural Learning The use of qualitative models in small-scale presents itself as an essential tool for teaching structural systems as it allows the direct observation of the deformations in the model, therefore promoting the understanding of the mechanical behavior in an intuitive and clear way. In this sense, this work develops an analysis of the existing didactic qualitative models aiming the development of a simple and low cost qualitative model that should be capable of promoting an intuitive understanding of the mechanical behavior of the structures and, at the same time, presents enough flexibility to allow the experimentation of various structural possibilities. This model proposes to serve as a tool for learning through the visualization of the mechanical behavior of the structures. The observation of the deformations, twists, and arrows may allow the correlation of the intuitive experience of the phenomena with the numerical simulations traditionally carried out in the process of structural design. Finally, the article presents the results obtained, in which the developed model proved herself to be very promising, promoting a rich first contact with the structural behavior besides a good qualitative exploration of the structural possibilities. A utilização de modelos qualitativos em escala reduzida se apresenta como uma importante ferramenta no ensino de estruturas por permitir a compreensão do comportamento mecânico, através da observação das deformações apresentadas pelo modelo de maneira intuitiva e clara. Neste sentido, este trabalho se desenvolve a partir da análise e discussão dos modelos qualitativos didáticos existentes e demonstra o desenvolvimento de um modelo qualitativo simples, e de baixo custo, que seja capaz de promover uma compreensão intuitiva do comportamento mecânico das estruturas e que possua boa flexibilidade de montagens para permitir a exploração de diversas possibilidades estruturais. A proposta é que este modelo possa servir como uma ferramenta de aprendizado e experimentação, permitindo a visualização do comportamento mecânico das estruturas, evidenciando as deformações, torções e flechas apresentadas, de maneira a permitir a correlação da experiência intuitiva dos fenômenos observados com as simulações numérico-computacionais tradicionalmente realizadas no processo de concepção estrutural. Por fim o artigo apresenta os resultados obtidos, nos quais o modelo desenvolvido se mostrou bastante promissor, permitindo um primeiro contato com o comportamento estrutural além de permitir uma boa exploração qualitativa das montagens estruturais experimentadas.
