AROCA, Armando. MATHEMATICAL MODELING LOCATED IN A JOB. STUDY CASE THE WOOD CRAFTSMEN. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.1, pp.227-235. ISSN 0123-4226.

The objective of this article is to present a research in which the wood-shaping and wood-crafts making process is analyzed. Based on this, the emphasis was placed on three states that show out the artistic idea on the artwork: the original state of the object, a pre-form of it, and a final shape of it. Also, the role of the modelling/shaping tools was studied. As well, there was a problem and it was to disregard the wood-shaping process of the artisans and their educational potential. The methodology was qualitative with ethnographic approaches. Individual interviews and participants' observations were used. At the end, conclusions on the analysis and results were presented. One of these conclusions is about how showing the step-by-step, of the craftmodels making and how they are shared by all the participants in the activity, is not necessary to put experiences and models of the artisans based on academic mathematics.
