RESUMO

This dissertation describes the construction and the evaluation of a Educational Graphic Plotter, that was developed to be used in an educational environment based upon the computer. This project has bean developed in the context of modernizating the school, in the sense of introducing the computer in education. The plotter in question was designed to be interfaced with a MSX microcomputers using Logo as a programming language. After being constructed, the plotter was used and evaluated in an elementary school, where an investigative project about the use of computer as an education tool is being developed. During the evaluation period of the plotter in the school, teachers and students used it, to reproduce figures (traditional use of plotter) and also to carry out other pedagogical activities, as, for example, the measuring of angles on paper from screen figures, and the drawing of maps. On addition, during this period, the students suggested the use of new Logo commands for the plotter and, also proposed, its utilization to paint clothes. This shows that the insertion of the plotter in the school may provide a rich and creative learning environment. When teachers and students used the plotter it was possible to confirm its effectiveness from the educational point of view and from the point of view of it technical performance. The results of this confirmation were very good in that the plotter was well accepted and it had a good performance, in its electronical circuit, mechanical structure and the implemented commands to control it through microcomputers
