关联主义视角下的建筑设计基础教学改革——“微单元”课程教学尝试

Teaching reform in basic curriculum of architectural design from the perspective of connectivism: practice of “micro-units”

在互联网时代,信息的极大丰富为学生在课外获取知识提供了更为便捷的途径。然而,当前的建筑教育基础教学往往忽视这一部分的学习,使其仍处于无组织的状态。文章从关联主义的视角审视了当前广泛采用的"设计课(Studio)"模式和"专题化辅助"模式,指出其在教学过程中与学生课外学习结合上的不足。文章试图通过引入"微单元"模式作为前两种教学模式的补充,将课外学习的部分内容纳入现有教学体系,并讨论了"微单元"的设置原则及其潜力。

With the increasing abundance of knowledge in the internet era, out-of-class learning plays a more significant role in students＇ learning process than before. However, this part of learning is still largely being neglected and thus unstructured in the basic curriculum of architectural education. This paper examined two widely applied teaching modes--the ＂studio mode＂ and the ＂lecture-aided mode＂--from the perspective of connectivism theory, pointing out their deficiency in incorporating out-of-class learning into teaching process. This paper introduced the ＂micro-units＂ mode as a supplement to the previous two modes and incorporated part of the out-of- class learning content into current teaching system. Implementation principles of ＂micro-units＂ mode and its further potentials were also discussed.
