Doğal afetler ve insan kaynaklı tahribatlar sebebi ile zarar gören tarihi yapılar ilk haline en yakın bir görünüme kavuşacak şekilde restore edilmektedir. Aynı zamanda mimarlık öğrencileri bu yapılar üzerinde restorasyon süreçlerini öğrenmek için araştırmalar yapmakta ve bilgi toplamaktadır. Fakat erişebilirliği kısıtlayan pandemi, hastalık, tehlike ve olumsuz hava gibi koşullar öğrencilerin bu yapılara erişmelerini engellemektedir. Bu çalışma, mimarlık öğrencilerinin restorasyon derslerinde tarihi yapıları inceleme sırasında yaşadıkları erişim zorluklarını Sanal Gerçeklik (SG) teknolojisinden faydalanarak gidermeyi ve özellikle öğrencilere uzaktan erişimle, restorasyon dersindeki ölçme tekniklerini sanal ortamda uygulamalı olarak öğretmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, restorasyon öncesi veri toplama işlemi tamamlanmış olan Tarihi Safranbolu Tabakhane Binası gerçek ölçüleri ile modellenmiş ve sanal gerçeklik ortamına aktarılmıştır. Öğrencilerin bu binada etkileşimli olarak beraber çalışabilmeleri için geleneksel ölçme araçları olan metre, su hortumu, şakül ve yazı tahtasının sanal versiyonları sisteme entegre edilmiştir. Böylece mimari restorasyon alanında literatürde yer alan diğer çalışmalardan farklı olarak, birden fazla öğrencinin fiziksel olarak farklı ortamlarda olmalarına rağmen aynı ortamdaymış gibi eş zamanlı olarak birbirleriyle etkileşimde bulunduğu, sesli ve görsel iletişim kurabildikleri sanal bir eğitim ortamı oluşturulmuştur. Kullanıcı deneyi sonrası yapılan anketlerde, öğrencilerin geliştirilen yönteme genellikle olumlu bakış açısı sergiledikleri ve anketteki toplam 14 ifadenin puanlamasında sistemin %88,62’lik bir puan ortalamasına ulaştığı gözlemlenmiştir. Sonuçlar, sanal gerçekliğin yüz yüze eğitime ulaşımın olmadığı durumlarda, restorasyon derslerine yönelik uygulamalı bir eğitim fırsatı sunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

Learning constitutes the act of inducing enduring behavioral changes. Although it can be dissected into three main categories-cognitive, affective, and psychomotor-research suggests that active student engagement leads to more effective education, regardless of the subject or field.From a contemporary standpoint, the concept of "technology in education" has gained prominence, influencing modern pedagogy across various domains. Applications that leverage technology to engage visual, auditory, and tactile senses have significantly supported experiential learning methods, sparking innovation in numerous scientific disciplines. Present-day students, immersed in the technology era, particularly through social media and gaming, are redefining the learner profile and shaping the technological dimension of education across all scientific domains.In the realm of architectural science, a fundamental principle is the comprehensive understanding, planning, and imparting of knowledge and skills related to 3D volumes, considering aesthetic considerations. Additionally, the cultivation of a critical thinking system for dissecting theoretical knowledge is a distinct goal. With technological advancements, architectural pedagogy, especially in the education of 3D thinking, design, and digital presentation, has undergone a paradigm shift.Within this conceptual framework, this study proposes an interactive and collaborative educational model, supported by the Unreal Engine (UE) game engine, for architectural pre-design processes. The study focuses on the pre-design phase and involves experiments with architecture and interior architecture students from various classes who possess experience with fundamental architectural design and modeling software. The study presents the efficiency and future prospects of the model by sharing software-based approaches using the UE game engine and the design outcomes achieved through its utilization.

“…Unlike traditional education methods that rely on books and slide presentations, VR offers a visualization of a 3D immersive interactive environment where students can operate, discover and learn (Sherman and Craig, 2009; Sherman and Craig, 2018; Erkan, 2020). Moreover, VR by itself can be an endeavor to extend the motivation among students which is a vital aspect of learning (Lach et al , 2019; Niwhede and Lindgren, 2017; Onyesolu and Eze, 2011).…”

Purpose Virtual reality (VR) technology invaded various domains including architecture practice and education. Despite its high applications in architecture design education, VR has a high potential to be used in architectural history courses as well. This paper aims to examine the effect of using VR technology on the students’ learning abilities of history of architecture. Design/methodology/approach The experimental approach was used. Two experiments were designed by creating virtual environments for two selected architectural examples from the Modern Architecture course. The participants who were students of Modern Architecture class had to complete two questionnaires, one for each example. The first one was based on Bloom’s taxonomy, and the other was prepared to test the participants’ analytical and critical skills. Besides, participants had to fill out satisfaction and ease-of-use survey on a five-step Likert scale. Findings Participants in the VR condition achieved better grades in knowledge gain compared to those in the traditional conditions. Their analytical and critical thinking skills were improved in the VR conditions. Gender has a significant impact on analytical and critical thinking skills. Participants recorded a high level of satisfaction; however, male students were more satisfied than female students who reported concerns about the weight of the used tools and nausea symptoms. Research limitations/implications This study informs architecture education and provides insights into the potentials of using advanced technology in architectural history education. Teaching the various history of architecture courses will be improved, shifted toward a more student-centered curriculum, and may acquire more excitement and conscious curiosity. Originality/value Using VR in architectural education is rigorous in architectural design courses and students’ design projects’ presentations. This research expands architectural education research by examining other ways of teaching history of architecture courses and its effect on the students’ knowledge gain and performance.
