Innovation of an Effective Blended Learning Technology in Architectural Engineering and its Validation by Response Data Analysis

Abstract

With the availability of countless choices of tools and technologies through computers and the internet, blended learning technology is further enriched by non-conventional powerful modes of online synchronous and asynchronous interactions between learners and instructors. The questionnaire was developed by using the web-based Google Forms platform and shared with architects and students of architecture by using WhatsApp and Gmail as the primary source of distribution. In light of the Council of Architecture’s Minimum Standards of Architectural Education Regulations 2020 Recommendations, All India Council for Technical Education’s Report, and Bloom’s Taxonomy, the research-based learning technology is found to be the most effective learning technology due to its active nature. Therefore, this fact was validated by obtaining the response regarding the attitude and understanding of all the stakeholders in architectural engineering viz. learners, teachers, and professionals towards research-based learning technology. All the respondents strongly supported the concept of introducing research-based learning technology in architecture education from the undergraduate degree level.
