"İç Mimarlık Eğitiminde Sunum Teknikleri Dersine Analitik Bir Yaklaşım: Boyutsal Denemeler"

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the presentation techniques courses included in the curricula of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design/Interior Architecture departments at various universities in Turkey, which fall within the scope of this study. It also aims to propose an approach to presentation techniques in addition to the current course contents based on discussions with course instructors.

Presentation techniques are indispensable in both the educational and professional performance processes of the interior architecture profession. The manner in which the act of "presenting" serves us with various techniques from the developmental stage to the finalization stage of a project can vary depending on the subject matter.

The study comprises five main sections. The first section constructs the historical development of the interior architecture profession from past to present and its evolution in Turkey. The second section investigates the development of interior architecture education globally and in Turkey through various schools of thought. The third section, which is the main focus of this study, explores the position of presentation techniques courses within the scope and shares the information gathered.

The fourth section encompasses the field study conducted on the presentation techniques courses conveyed in the third section. In this study, in-depth interviews were chosen as the data collection method. The participants, or the sample, were determined using the criterion sampling method, which is one of the purposive sampling methods commonly used in qualitative research. Face-to-face and/or online interviews were analyzed in this section.

The fifth and final section of the study, the conclusion and recommendations, attempts to illustrate the proposed course with examples from the study and aims to contribute to the course content by offering a different perspective on presentation techniques and evaluation.
