| Abstract |
The digital transformation of education has accelerated as it has shifted to non-face-to-face distance lectures due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. This sudden change has had a significant impact on university education. This study aims to analyze how the change in the educational environment caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic in recent years was experienced by college students majoring in architecture and to suggest the desirable direction and implementation plan for the educational environment in the future. The study was conducted in two major stages. In the first stage, an online survey was conducted for students of Architecture. In the second stage, an in-depth interview was conducted as a follow-up study based on the survey’s results targeting insufficient content. We found a difference between students in grades three to five who experienced face-to-face classes and students in grades one and two who did not experience face-to-face classes, and stratified sampling was performed to compare the two groups. This study concludes that developing online education content and educational form suitable for the primary architectural curriculum is necessary. Second, online classes have significantly changed students’ learning activities, and it is essential to develop an educational environment to cope with this. Third, the LMS environment currently designed in Korea has a uniform user interface, making it difficult to activate online classes. Fourth, for a successful non-face-to-face course, the virtual education space and the physical education space associated with it should be considered. Since students’ concentration and immersion in the virtual education space are closely connected with the physical education space, a new type of space planning that can support online classes in various ways is required. |
