A presente investigação tem como objecto de estudo os materiais metálicos inovadores e a sua contextualização é feita através de um enfoque na percepção dos estudantes de cursos superiores de design em Portugal, procurando analisar o modo como gerem a actual complexidade material. As propriedades físicas e sensoriais reconhecidas como distintivas dos metais, assim como os seus limites prestacionais, têm-se ampliado por força das características inusitadas de alguns materiais inovadores. Esta constatação, já verificável no quotidiano, acarreta um agudizar do hiato entre a imagem tradicional dos metais e a realidade observável. A presente investigação tem como objectivo analisar o grau de conhecimento sobre materiais metálicos dos alunos de cursos superiores de design em Portugal, caracterizando a imagem mental que estes formam sobre os metais mais conhecidos e, também, o reconhecimento e caracterização (em termos simbólicos, sensoriais e de desempenho funcional) que estes exprimem em face de amostras de metais tradicionais e inovadores. Para a caracterização da imagem mental actual sobre os metais empregou-se uma metodologia de Pesquisa por Inquérito junto de uma amostra representativa do universo de estudo. Tal amostra, criteriosamente selecionada e estratificada, foi constituída por 287 inquiridos com respostas validadas a partir de uma população de 8.618 estudantes, apresentando os resultados obtidos um erro amostral inferior a 5%, para um nível de confiança de 90%. A caracterização da imagem “tradicional” dos metais foi feita mediante uma metodologia não-intervencionista apoiada na leitura bibliográfica, no estudo de casos e na consulta a peritos em áreas relevantes para uma análise semiótica. Os resultados mostram indubitavelmente que existe um profundo desconhecimento das características e potencialidades dos materiais metálicos mais inovadores. Este desconhecimento é transversal aos inquiridos, independentemente do ciclo de estudo que frequentam, da natureza do curso ou da idade e sexo dos inquiridos. Os resultados alcançados reputam-se, assim, de grande utilidade para o ensino do design e, também, para o futuro da actividade de projecto. Os resultados fornecem um quadro actualizado e científico sobre os preconceitos que os estudantes manifestam sobre a natureza dos metais e demonstram a necessidade de um ensino mais holístico sobre materiais em cursos superiores de design em Portugal. Urge dotar estes alunos de conhecimentos amplos e actuais para uma decifração dos materiais nas suas dimensões física e prestacional, mas também signíca e comunicativa.
The purpose of this research is the study of innovative metallic materials. The contextualization of the research is achieved by focusing on the perception of graduation design students in Portugal analyzing the way they manage today's material complexity. The physical and sensitive properties of metals, recognized as distinctive of their identity, as of its performance limits, have been augmented due to the unusual characteristics of innovative materials. This evidence, which is already migrating to everyday applications, leads to an increase in the gap between the traditional image of metals and the surrounding reality. This research aims to analyze the knowledge of graduation design students in Portugal upon metallic materials, characterizing the mental image they form upon the most common metals and also the recognition and characterization (in symbolic terms sensory and functional performance) that they express towards material samples of both traditional and innovative metals. To characterize the current mental image upon metals it was applied a methodology of Survey Research among a representative sample of the study group. This sample, carefully selected and stratified, consisted of 287 respondents with valid responses from a population of 8.618 students that permitted a sampling error of less than 5% for a confidence level of 90%. Metals “traditional” image was characterized by a non-interventionist approach which focused on relevant literature reading, case studies analysis and experts consultation in areas meaningful to a semiotic-like analysis. The results show that there is undoubtedly a profound lack of knowledge regarding features and capabilities of innovative metallic materials. This knowledge is transverse to all respondents regardless of their specific design study subject, graduation level, age or gender. The results achieved are considered has very useful for design education purpose and consequently for the future of design-project activity. The results provide an updated and scientific framework about design students prejudices upon metallic materials and demonstrate the need for a more holistic teaching in high-graduation design courses in Portugal. It is important to endow students with wide and updated knowledge that allow them to decode materials in their physical, mechanical, signic and communicative dimensions.
