آیا در دوره درک ساختمانی در آموزش معماری جنسیت مهم است؟

Architectural education has a different formation when compared with other profession educations. The first year of architectural education is specially difficult because, students directly start to architectural education after high school without any opinion about architecture. The first class construction course is given as Construction Knowledge I in Erciyes University Architecture Faculty. Construction Knowledge I course is given for familiarization for elements like foundation, floor, wall, colomn and joist of a building. In this study, it is aimed to determine the thoughts of students and their sensations for construction course in the first year of architectural education. It is tried to measure the effect of sex on understanding the construction course. It is tried to find out that which sex (male or female) has a positive/negative opinion for home works and studio studies. This study was done between the years 2003-2012 in a period of 9 years and 18 semesters, by performing a questionnaire to all students who are taking Contruction Knowledge I course. By this study, we tried to find out that which systems for understanding the construction lesson may be better for students of different gender. We hope that this study will positively improve the construction education in the first year of architectural education.
