Abstract

The purpose of the research is to explore since the beginning of the cognitive approach the potentialities offered by drawing, starting from the free hand drawing to tackle those offered by the new information technologies especially in relation to the visual and tactile communication, considering also the continuous refinements in the interrelated processes between modeling and mathematical models. The proposed task, synthesis between learning methodology and applied research, is the expression of the continuous evolution and transformation of the teaching approach strategies, of the methodologies and technologies in order to guarantee a rigorous answer to the education requirements, through the detection of more and more appropriate and suitable solutions for the different needs and learning styles.
