| Abstract |
Based on Merrill’s instructional theory, this study pursued to develop a demonstration-based architectural design class operation model for the
3rd year undergraduate students taking a Spring semester design studio class. The model was designed and used particularly to improve
architectural thinking abilities of under-motivated learners. Learning effects of the model were examined based on the preliminary data
obtained for 3 consecutive years, 2017 through 2019. A total of 52 students were participated in the class and observed by the instructor.
Once developed, the model has been continually updated and improved based on results of each class operation. Five types of demo. were
used in the model. First, direct contacts of the instructor with under-motivated learners were turned out to be the most preferred demo(demo.
4), while watching and listening of the demo(demo.3) between the instructor and motivated learners taking place in class was ranked at the
second place. Belief of under-motivated learners on the instructor as a professional should be highly valued for improving their architectural
thinking abilities. Second, motivated peers’ direct help for under-motivated ones was placed in the third rank. Social attitudes of
under-motivated learners towards accepting motivated ones’ helps were determined the particular demo’s appropriateness. Third, a set of
guidelines for operating the model in undergraduate design studio classes were developed and suggested. |
