Analyzing and Examining the Role of Computers in Improving the Quality of Undergraduate Architecture Projects

The complexity of the field of architecture, its ever-increasing application, and the rapid growth of technologies and software used in this field necessitate the need to inves tigate the effects of computer software on the quality of s tudents' learning and a solution to improve the role of software in learning. Therefore, research has been carried out to inves tigate the role of computers in improving the quality of undergraduate architecture projects. This research is applied research, and its nature is descriptive-analytical and inferential research. The data for this research was obtained through ques tionnaires dis tributed among ۸۶ undergraduate s tudents in the ۳rd course. The final reliability of the ques tionnaire was ۰.۸۸۹ using Cronbach's alpha tes t. The research findings were analyzed using T-tes t, ANOVA, and Tukey's. The t-tes t showed that the role of computers in architecture s tudents' learning rates differs from each other. Also, the ANOVA tes t results showed that s tudents' learning amount based on the type of software has a significant difference equal to Sig=۰.۰۰۰. According to the results obtained from the findings of the research, it can be said that despite the effectiveness of computer sys tems in improving the learning of architecture s tudents, the priority is on the individual and collective characteris tics of s tudents, and the use of computers should be appropriate to the nature of the course, s tudents' ability and interes t.
