architecture studio pedagogy survey hybrid learning
- 1. 1 Midway Approach – Post Covid: Hybrid Learning & Future Directives A thematic review (tr) from scopus and wos that discuss the direction of future architecture studio education in the post-covid-19 era. A survey was designed to gather information from faculty members, understand their experiences and personal preference for teaching methods within the realm of architectural education: conventional (in- person approach) , virtual (online mode) and hybrid (blended mode) . Participants' responses, recorded using google survey form . in progress Descriptive statistics, including mean, median, and mode, to be used to highlight central tendencies. Additionally, inferential statistics such as chi-square or anova tests to be employed to explore potential links between preferences and demographics, like teaching experience. This analysis would reveal patterns that would help in understanding faculty inclinations toward conventional, virtual, and hybrid teaching methods. The survey being conducted at the state/national level.
- 2. 2 Literature Review: Conducted a comprehensive literature search using reputable academic databases such as SCOPUS and Web of Science (WoS). Focused on articles specifically addressing teaching methods in architecture design studios. Identified key themes, trends, and best practices. Identify Relevant Articles: Selected articles providing valuable insights, methodologies, and findings related to Conventional, Virtual, and Hybrid teaching approaches. Ensured the chosen articles were recent, credible, and contributed to understanding effective pedagogical strategies in architectural education. Extract Key Information: Extracted relevant information from selected articles, including data, methodologies, and insights informing survey questions. Noted common themes, challenges, and successful practices discussed in the literature. Categorize Teaching Approaches: Organized literature findings into categories based on Conventional, Virtual, and Hybrid teaching approaches. Used categorization as the foundation for structuring the survey questionnaire. Draft Survey Questions/Review and Refinement: Drafted survey questions aligned with research objectives, ensuring clarity, specificity, and the ability to capture nuances of each teaching approach. Reviewed the questionnaire to cover all relevant aspects of Conventional, Virtual, and Hybrid teaching. Sought input from peers, experts, or colleagues for refinement and enhanced clarity of questions.
- 3. 3 Midway Approach – Post Covid: Hybrid Learning & Future Directives • Comprehensive Scope: The questionnaire addresses a broad spectrum of topics, encompassing conventional, virtual, and hybrid teaching methods, allowing for a effective understanding of educators' experiences. • Structured Approach: The questionnaire is well-organized into distinct sections, making it easy for respondents to navigate and provide detailed insights into their teaching practices. • Diversity of Inquiry: By including questions about initiation strategies, personalization, essential aspects, challenges, and reflections on success, the questionnaire captures multifaceted aspects of teaching methods and experiences. • Balanced Exploration: The inclusion of questions related to both the strengths and challenges of different teaching modes ensures a balanced exploration of educators' perceptions.

- 4. 4 I. Basic Information: Collects demographic data about participants, such as the name of the institution, the educator's name, designation, specialization, gender, age, and years of teaching experience. II. Sections on Teaching Approaches: Divided into three main sections focusing on Conventional Studio, Virtual Studio, and Hybrid Studio teaching approaches. Each section includes questions about the perceived effectiveness of the teaching methods on a scale of 1 to 5. Explores the initiation processes for each approach, such as how educators structure sessions and what tools or platforms they use. III. Realization Strategies: Inquires about how educators ensure active student participation and collaboration in each teaching setting. Examines how teaching methods are personalized to accommodate diverse learning styles and individual student needs in conventional, virtual, and hybrid settings. IV. Essential Aspects and Unique Contributions: Asks about aspects considered essential in each teaching method (e.g., hands-on prototyping, collaborative atmosphere) and how they contribute to a unique learning experience. Addresses the perceived contributions of in-person discussions, virtual discussions, and hybrid discussions to critical thinking and creativity among architectural students.

- 5. 5 I. Challenges Faced: Identifies challenges faced in conventional, virtual, and hybrid teaching settings. Asks how these challenges are creatively addressed to maintain a positive learning environment. II. Reflection on Success Metrics: Explores how educators gauge the success of their teaching methods, considering factors like student engagement, participation, and feedback. Differentiates success metrics for conventional, virtual, and hybrid teaching methods. III. Future Preferences: Asks educators to express their preferences for the next design studio session, whether they prefer a Physical Design Studio, Virtual Design Studio, Blended Design Studio, or have no specific preference.
