Abstract:
The aim of this educational innovation project is the study of interesting buildings.
In this case the exercises are focused in the similar tasks that are being currently performed by professionals.
The detailed study of a building makes easier the understanding of it, as well as to analyze the building in all its dimensions.
First of all, an initial assessment about knowledge and skills of the new students will be performed for the purpose of achieving an optimal adaptation.
1.-The Goals are:
- Study and analysis of interesting buildings
- Building as a study element for the future professionals in Building.
- Analysis of the building elements like educational models and documentation to be issued for educational purposes.
2. Description of the project and outcome phases Actions:
- An architectural survey (elevations and sections) of unique buildings will be produced.
- The selected buildings will be analyzed.
Our plan is to use these types of activities to make the students perform similar works to those performed by professionals.
In order to encourage the students to participate in the educational process, the following activities are proposed:
a) With the aim students can get a better understanding on their achievements we propose:
- To do a self assessment
- To evaluate the exercises of other mates
- To comment corrections in public presentations
b) To motivate students to document the different topics of the subject program
c) To identify practical exercises
d) To produce practical exercises
e) To increase the awareness of the students at the required exigency level as well as to be aware of their own failures
f) To gain a clear view of the objectives
g) To get a higher level of involvement and participation by the students
h) To acquire skills on finding and selecting, with valuable criteria the useful sources of information
i) To propose the elaboration of a monographic work to be realized in a team of students
j) To computerize the studied models for their publication in the existing educational platforms for the students: a subsequent application of them in the learning program of the Architectural Drawing I and II subjects.
k) To produce open information repositories to be available in the educational platforms.
3. Expected results:
To improve and promote the team work in order to increase the exchange of knowledge and promote the integration of students in their future professional life.
Incorporation of new technologies in the learning by:
- Applying new educational and assessment methodologies to be applied to the students and their works. We intend to continue progressing towards the convergence to the European Higher Education Area.
- The study of singular buildings and their realization on technical drawings by using learning systems with progressive difficulty level.
This will allow extending the exercises in the program subject in the area of technical drawing systems and plans survey.
This will help the student to know their city and it is an excellent way of helping us to bring students closer to the professional work, and thus making easier access to a job. That is the fundamental objective of the university studies.
