Challenges of Online Education in Architecture Design from the Perspective of Professors and Students
Keywords:
Online Education; Virtual Education; Architectural Design.Abstract
Architecture education is very important in the education of future architects and is defined by the combination of practical and theoretical coursework. Due to the pandemic conditions, online education is one of the available options for education. which faces many challenges. However, due to the prevalence of virtual education in the world, due to the corona disease in the world and the need for communication between the scientific fields and practical education, it is faced with the adverse effects in the form of numerous challenges and shortcomings. The purpose of this research is to extract concepts and dimensions. And the components of the challenges of online education of architectural design.
Methods: This research is practical in terms of purpose. The research method used is a qualitative method, which was done with content analysis and coding of data collected by 12MAXQDA software. Then, from among the challenges based on the sub-components of online education challenges, the coding process is divided into two sections: general challenges; online education and specific challenges; Architectural design is taught online.
Findings: Based on the review of 732 free codes in 26 code-oriented categories, 7 main concepts were reached, which include the challenges of the educational environment and educational facilities; the challenge of students' psychology; the impossibility of correction and solving students' problems; weakness in the way professors evaluate students' learning. For architectural design, the lack of understanding of the design concept and the students' ability to analyze and be
creative to implement the design, the weak educational program and the content of intensive courses, and the weakness of the electronic infrastructure.
Conclusion: According to the findings for these 26 code-based online architectural design training courses, which are based on various and different challenges, and improving its quality will increase the quality of virtual courses and requires a serious look for the training of future architect engineers.
