图形思维研究

THE STUDY OF GRAPHIC THINKING

本文从形象思维的一般规律出发,界定了工程技术人员图形思维的有关概念。说明图形思维是一种特殊形式的形象思维活动,但具有专业性,有多层的符号语义体系,与数学-物理概念正相关,形式化程度相当高。因此易于把图形思维过程用逻辑符号体系变换表示,在一定程度上,图形思维可以用计算机模拟。文中还根据图形思维的规律审度了图学教育传统,提出改进图学教育内容和方法的具体建议。

Based on the general rules of visual thinking some concep of engineer′s graphic thinking are de-fined in this paper.The graphic thinking is a special form of the visual thinking and has some particularfeatures,such as higher specialized,hierarchial symbolic semantic structure,highly formalized,positiverelated to the mathematic-physical conceps,etc.So it is easy to make a visually thinking model bymeans of a logical symbolic system,and under certain conditions then to simulate it by using computertechniques.In addition,a review of the traditional experience of our engineering graphic education ismade,some new ideas on it are suggested.
