Comparison of Technical Drawing Course Education Model; The Case of Selcuk University Department of Interior Architecture

In the wake of the February 2023 earthquake in Turkey, many educational institutions, including Selcuk University, adopted a partially distance education system for various courses. This study aims to assess the course performance of 70 students enrolled in the Technical Drawing-2 course, delivered via distance education in the spring semester, in comparison to their performance in the Technical Drawing-1 course, which was conducted in person during the fall semester of the same academic year. The study employed a psychometric measurement technique. The datas were converted into numerical data using SPSS version 29. The survey was designed using a 5-point Likert-type measurement model. The survey used a single group pre-test (Distance Education Model)-post-test (Face to Face Education Model) design. The data was analyzed using the dependent t-test, frequency analysis, normality test, and Cronbach Alpha reliability analysis. The survey results indicate that students who took the Technical Drawing-2 course through both distance learning and face-to-face methods found the distance learning approach beneficial for sharing information about the course material. However, they also expressed a preference for face-to-face lessons. Moreover, they can better articulate their thoughts in a traditional classroom setting compared to a remote learning environment.
