Використання проєктного навчання під час створення інформаційної моделі інтер’єру на інтерактивному дизайнерському курсі

The aim of the article is to study how project-based learning can be applied while learning building information modelling software. Results. It is found out that the project method appliance stimulates a high level of student engagement in the learning process. Although, compared to the mechanistic approach, it requires more mental and emotional resources from a teacher. It is associated with a systematic switching of attention and a non-linear sequence of actions. At the same time, a high level of autonomy while decision-making and an ability to consistently implement one's own creative idea become an effective and efficient trigger for mastering an appropriate software. Additionally, a demonstration of information modelling possibilities becomes a catalyst for interest in this technology. The scientific novelty of this research lies in its interdisciplinary pedagogical framework that integrates project-based learning with building information modelling for interior design education, addressing gaps in both curriculum development and practical skills transfer. Conclusions. This research emphasises the importance of student autonomy in selecting design objects within the framework of project-based learning, which significantly enhances engagement, enthusiasm, and creativity among learners. However, this approach necessitates considerable efforts and emotional investment from educators, who are required to facilitate the learning process without imposing predetermined solutions. Furthermore, the study identifies a disparity in the implementation of building information modelling with private institutions demonstrating greater adoption compared to their public counterparts. This finding highlights the urgent need for the integration of building information modelling across all project scales, from the student level, as well as to catalyse a global paradigm shift in design education. Additionally, the establishment of a structured task breakdown is crucial for delineating clear learning outcomes, thereby, enabling students to effectively develop modern design solutions utilising appropriate software tools.
