Evaluating the Growing Rate of Architecture Student's Understanding of the Basic Structural Concepts via Natural Principles In Comparison With Other Teaching Methods

This paper investigates the changes in the rate of architecture students’ understanding of structural bases via common teaching methods and a new suggested teaching model. Thus, this research specifically aims to attempt answering the following questions:1- Is there a meaningful difference in the rate of students` understanding concerning the specific teaching methods?2- Does modeling the successful constructed projects have a noticeable effect on learning the structural concepts? And does this method make a meaningful difference in learning in comparison with discourse and speech classes?3- What are students and teachers’ sights on teaching methods? Are their ideas close to research findings?The research method for this paper is based on Field Trial studies.The outputs considering (P<0.05) are then statistically analyzed using "TTest, Paired TTest and Anova" methods. Diagrams and graphs are extracted afterwards using the excel program.Results show a meaningful increase in the rate of students` learning by the use of natural principles in comparison with other teaching methods. Meanwhile, results suggest that modeling the successful constructed projects does not necessarily affect students` perception of structural concepts.
