El desarrollo de habilidades complejas en la carrera de arquitectura: un nuevo enfoque para la enseñanza / Developing complex skills in the architecture major: a new approach to teaching
Abstract
The paper is focused on the process of representing, considered as a basic professional macro-skill for architecture students’ performance. The formative process has traditionally been designed following repeating drills procedures resulting in a mechanical instrumentation development with little intellectual demands and consequently limiting graduates’ potentials. Modeling the development of graphic skills as a process enables the researcher to recognize the abilities and habits involved and the necessary knowledge. This framework allows to designing a methodology for training this complex skill, reorganizing the discipline and subject syllabi and in turn strengthening the quality of the teaching process and graduates’ qualifications. Keywords: skill, developmental process, methodology, curriculum
