Conditions of Teaching and Learning in Construction Technology Course Faculty of Architecture Program in Higher Education Institutions in Thailand

Abstract

        The objective of this research is 1. To study the obstacles and problems that affect the teaching and learning of construction technology courses.  Architecture Studying Bachelor of Architecture Program (B.A.) in Thailand Higher Education Institutions 2. To study recommendations and guidelines for the development of teaching and learning in construction technology courses Architecture Studying Bachelor of Architecture Program (B.A.) in Thailand Higher Education Institutions. The specific sample group consisted of 90 people, consisting of 10 teachers, 50 graduates, 20 architects and 10 engineers.  Teach related technology that affects teaching and environmental aspects about empty spaces and buildings statistics used in data analysis using mean and percentage.

       The results showed that 1) The results of the study of obstacles and problems affecting the teaching and learning of the construction technology course Architecture Studying the Bachelor of Architecture (B.E.) Program in Thailand Higher Education Institutions, the first aspect of teaching and learning, teaching the theory, teachers, graduates and architects.  They are of the opinion that the theoretical content is the most obstacles and problems. But the engineers were of the opinion that describing the content and the instructor's experience was the most problematic.  Practical teaching everyone commented that practical work was the biggest obstacle and problem.  Self study the teacher commented that expert interview surveying and collecting data from real-world locations is the biggest obstacle and problem that affects teaching.  Graduate opinion that surveying and collecting data from real locations are the obstacles and problems that affect teaching the most.  Architects and engineers think books are the obstacles and problems that affect teaching the most.  Searching for knowledge from books is the most obstacles and problems.  Area 2 Knowledge of construction technology 3 software platform groups such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) Lecturers, graduates and architects are of the opinion that having a body of knowledge but still Lack of technological expertise is the obstacle and problem that affects teaching and learning the most.  Engineers are of the opinion that equipment and system (Prefabs) and construction robotics. Teachers are of the opinion that having knowledge but not having expertise is an obstacle and problems that affect teaching the most graduates are of the opinion that the knowledge but lack of expertise is an obstacle and the lack of resources necessary to develop the body of knowledge.  It is the problem that affects teaching the most.  Architects are of the opinion that they do not have relevant experience and knowledge and that they do not have knowledge but that they do not have expertise are the obstacles and problems that affect teaching the most.  Engineers are of the opinion that there is a lack of resources necessary for development.  Knowledge is the obstacle and problem that affects teaching the most.  User Interface such as Virtual Reality (VR) teachers are of the opinion that the lack of experience and relevant knowledge are obstacles and problems that affect learning.  Teach the most graduates and engineers are of the opinion that there is a shortage of resources necessary to develop the body of knowledge.  It is the obstacles and problems that affect teaching the most.  Architects are of the opinion that having a body of knowledge but not having expertise is the obstacle and problem that affects teaching the most. It is suggested that teaching and learning development should be developed for students during the 3^rd year and 4^th year.  The third aspect of the environment related to teaching and learning, space, teachers and architects agree that there should be a development of the environment.  The real construction space environment of the model building is the obstacle and problem that affects teaching the most.  Graduates agree that the teaching space should be developed with practical patterns as obstacles and problems that affect teaching the most.  Engineers agree that the teaching space environment should be developed with practical patterns as obstacles and problems that affect teaching the most.  And there are suggestions that there should be facilities for learners and teachers.  There is space for multi-purpose activities.  Organize seminars and exhibitions the students should be involved in the design.  Emphasis on practical work.  Buildings, teachers and architects are of the opinion that the size of the space to the use of the building is the obstacle and problem that affects teaching the most.  Graduates and engineers view that the environment and the context surrounding the building are the obstacles and problems that affect teaching the most.  And there are suggestions that the building can support teaching according to the operating model.  Can be used in the actual work system, has a space suitable for work and can relax enough for the number of users.  The area in the building should have a quiet corner, can sit relaxing and well-ventilated, suitable for searching for more knowledge.  The surrounding environment and layout support the work, have a laboratory for various types of experiments to support the opinions of students. 2) Results of the study, recommendations and guidelines for the development of teaching and learning in construction technology course Architecture Studying the Bachelor of Architecture (B.A.) Program in Thailand's Higher Education Institutions, the first aspect of teaching and learning, teaching theory, suggesting that teaching and learning should be developed.  Practical work for students in the first year, the second year and the third year, practical teaching Suggest that teaching and learning should be developed Practical work for students in the 3^rd  year, 4^th year, self-study suggest that teaching and learning should be developed actual practice for students in the 3^rd year, 4^th year, area, the second, knowledge in construction technology 3 group, Software Platform group such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) suggested that teaching and learning should be developed.  Practical work for students in the 3^rd Year, 4^th year, equipment and system (Prefabs) and construction robotics suggest that teaching and learning should be improved.  Practical work for students in the 3^rd year, 4^th year and 5^th year user Interface such as Virtual Reality (VR) suggests that teaching and learning should be improved.  Actual practice for students in the second year, the third year and the fourth year, the third aspect of the environment related to teaching and learning.  Space has space for organizing various teaching activities.  Can access the area easily, quickly, have a variety of equipment to use in the workshop.  There is an area with construction equipment.  A space where you can actually work on your own by being exposed to the real experiences of the learners to create more knowledge and understanding of work. There are modern equipment and suitable for current and future construction technology.  There is a practice area for conducting seminars.  And organizing an exhibition (Exhibition) students should be involved in the design of the building to support teaching in accordance with the operating model.  Can be used in the actual work system with a suitable space for work suitable for researching additional knowledge to support the work, have a laboratory for the experiment support for exhibitions presenting student work.
