Respondents were asked to give ratings (1-5 scale using words) on the following questions:
- I use the following approaches in teaching AE Design
- I use student teamwork in teaching AE Design.
- I would advocate changing the way the school teaches AED by changing the use of the following techniques
The detailed results are available on this Google-Docs spreadsheet.
Summary of Results
Approaches used:
- Lecture is most common, followed by problem-based learning and guided design.
- Architectural studio and modified study are never used in many cases.
Student Teamwork Used:
- There is quite a spread in use in most cases - no consensus
- Teamwork is used not much more than "sometimes" in most approaches, with a fair amount of use in Problem-Based Learning, and Guided Design.
Advocating Change in use of Techniques
- There is considerable interest in increasing the use of all techniques except Lecture.
- There is a marked interest in decreasing the use of lecture
Note on Statistical Significance of Results
Almost all the results showed a statistically significant difference from a null-hypothesis model centered on the middle term (3.0) of the 5-Likert values using a goodness-of-fit chi-squared analysis. Those that weren't significant are shaded gray.
Note, as always, that a significant result does not mean a big difference. That is a matter of individual judgement, which is the reason the actual counts are shown.
