| Abstract |
As applied to a 3rd year’s architectural design project in G university, this study was proposed to examine learning effects of the
CBL(cased-based learning) method particularly in developing learners’ cognitive thinking abilities on professional level. A CBL model for
architectural design project operation was developed and used for 3 consecutive years, 1st semester 2022 to 2nd semester 2024. An
architectural design project was selected as a case and examined via deep interviews with the architect to figure out some critical decision
points(CDP) which were made directly by himself and lead to its success. As a result, 6 critical points were finally designated, scripts for
each point were written, a professional camera director was contacted for studio shooting, and a 6 set of videos were prepared for use in
appropriate situations of the operation process. In addition to the anchored instruction method, field-based practical working manual and tools
were used all throughout the project operation process. Based on responses from 21 volunteers of survey questions and post interviews, the
study found that field-based practical ways of conducting a design project were favored over a purely academic approach among learners, and
exposure of the corresponding video on each CDP helped the learners to solve problems or reduce uncertainty they faced. |
