A STUDY ON THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT FOR THE TEACHING OF DESIGN GRAPHICS

摘要

In this paper, the analysis of the physical environment for the teaching of the Design Graphics is carried out considering the requirements generated by the technological innovations, new teaching methodologies, the layout and the ergonomics of the classrooms. At first, a survey on the classrooms equipped with computers that are used for the teaching of Technical Drawing and CAD is done. The results show the inadequacy of the classrooms for the teaching purpose. Focusing on the layout and ergonomics of the classroom, two basic layouts are identified. Finally, the characteristics of both layouts are analyzed comparatively in the viewpoints of the students and teachers. Although the two classrooms are significantly different, the evaluation carried out with students and the teachers in relation to the problems of comfort presents similar results.
