Abstract

Computers and Internet have successfully provided students with various online educational services. With the latest developments in the mobile technology, new methods are emerging to provide educational services through mobile technologies such as mobile phones and PDAs. By providing the educational services using the wireless medium, the educational institutions can facilitate self-access learning.  By using the mobile educational services, lecturers and students can access the services anytime and anywhere they want. This paper discusses the possibility of providing architectural heritage studies on web application through mobile technology. This offers a new approach in architectural education, namely imparting knowledge, or facilitating the imparting of knowledge, through a medium other than the traditional methods used in polytechnic. It does not seek to replace the conventional methods of teaching, which have traditionally been through lecture classes and design studios. It merely aspires to bridge some of the gap that is found between the two and thereby promote better understanding of architectural knowledge. The case study is an important tool in architectural education. Students learn by analyzing, comparing and evaluating aspects of important architectural works. By providing a tool by which this evaluation is facilitated and enhanced through the process of associative thinking, architectural learning is enriched. The paper will conduct formative evaluation of the student projects with the aim to test the feasibility of providing mobile educational services for diploma level architectural students in Port Dickson Polytechnic.  The study found that the mobile learning can be a useful complement to the current computer based learning.Keywords: Heritage, Web, Mobile Technology, Mobile Learning

Abstract

Design is a complex and open process.  A designer starts the idea from an abstract form to a final idea in the form of a product to solve the design problem.   At the early design stage discussion occurs regularly between students and lecturer to improve the design quality.  The selection of a proper media for presentation is important in the design process to make sure the media selected has strong visual impact.  CAD technology gives opportunity for students to use three dimensional digital models in the design process to develop good design concept. The digital model can decrease the aspect of abstraction on a design idea.  The main objective of this study is to compare the development in the design activities between students that use digital studio and students that use conventional studio. The study had been done for four years on diploma architectural students at Port Dickson Polytechnic. All the semester six students had been selected as the sample for this study. The quasi experimental method was used to study the effect of integrating digital studio in the design process.  The research outcome showed that significant difference between digital model product (M=80.2) compared to conventional product from the aspect of creativity, t(238) = 9.198 significant.  This study shows that integration of digital studio in the learning process of design modules in polytechnic provides learning environment that ignites students to produce creative architectural design product.Keywords: CPAM, CAD Technology, Design Process, Creative Product

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of integrating CiDOS on teaching architectural design process for Malaysian polytechnic architectural students in producing a creative product. The web based information is set up based on Caroll’s minimal theory, while the integration is based on Brown and Campione’s technology of learning theory. This study utilized a quasi-experimental method. Final semester students from two (2) classes being used as research samples where sixty (25) students are in the treatment group and another sixty (25) students are in the control group. The final products being evaluated by the experts in architectural field using an instrument based on Creative Product Analysis Model (CPAM). The inferential statistics namely T-Test and Pearson Correlation Analysis with a significant level p = 0.01 were utilized. Research outcome shows that there is a significant difference between the treatment group product (M=79.1) and control group product (M=70.5).  This research contributes to the use of real case in the development of an architectural website, in the use of mobile technology as media information sources and in the construction of validated instrument which is used to evaluate creative architectural products.Keywords: Web Mobile, Design Process, Creative Product, CPAM
