Digital Fabrication and 3D Modeling Applied to the Learning of Object Oriented Skills
Gregory Acacio Seibert Oliveira, Rodrigo Bonacin · 2018
Digital fabrication and 3D modeling bring new opportunities and challenges to teaching activities. These technologies may represent a step towards developing integrated learning of concepts from various disciplines, such as programming, engineering, and design. However, there is no single methodology for using these technologies in education, particularly in programming learning. In this paper, we present a review of existing literature on programming learning with the use of digital fabrication and 3D modeling, focusing on high-level Object Oriented concepts. This article analyzes and categorizes existing works according to the adopted teaching methods, technologies explored in the activities, and programming concepts covered. We expect to contribute to the field by mapping the adopted strategies used in these studies, as well as by presenting challenges to be faced in future research.
