Technological courses in Architecture during lock down: towards an applied teaching

Abstract

The confinement conditions induced by the Covid19 health crisis have had a major impact on most human activities. University teaching has not been an exception, the situation has forced us to work against the clock reorganizing subjects and rethinking teaching methodologies. This article provides the experience of adaptation and reflection on how online teaching has influenced the teaching of two compulsory technological subjects of the degree in Architecture that combine the need to assimilate theoretical concepts with training for their application through teaching competence. The changes reformulating the original teaching methodology are analyzed. Subject monitoring data are provided through surveys conducted with students and teaching teams that allow the new methodology to be assessed and initiate a necessary reflection on the teaching of technological subjects in periods of necessary non-face-to-face teaching.
