摘要 在课堂上教授建筑原理与对建筑工地上实际发生的情况进行应用理解之间存在着一个难题。本文探讨并报道了使用物理模型制作游戏作为建筑技术课程中的应用学习手段。讨论了模型制作、游戏和学习理论之间的联系。开发并实施了一种结构化模型制作方法（涉及 1:10 比例的房屋模型）（称为“建造游戏”）。它的目的是培养将设计转化为物理构造的触觉欣赏，以及对管理流程所涉及的组织动态的第一手了解。作为其中的一部分，学生们体验了团队管理、分包、沟通和时间安排的动态。有关游戏成功与否的调查结果基于导师和学生调查结果的反馈。学生的反馈是积极的，并确定了需要改进的目标领域。总体方法被认为是模拟真实施工过程的一种可实现的方法，其方式可以吸引高水平的学生参与，并且可以作为并行流执行以强化讲座内容。
Abstract A conundrum exists between teaching construction principles in the classroom, and an applied understanding of what actually happens on building sites. This paper explores and reports on using a physical model making game as a means of applied learning in construction technology courses. The link between model making, games and learning theory is discussed. A structured approach to model making — involving a 1:10 scale model of a house — was developed and implemented (referred to as the Construction Game). It aimed to foster a tactile appreciation of converting a design into physical construction, plus a first-hand understanding of the organisational dynamics involved in managing the process. As part of this, students experienced the dynamics of group management, subcontracting, communications and time scheduling. Findings regarding the success of the Game are based on feedback from tutor and student survey results. Feedback from the students was positive and identified targeted areas for improvement. The overall approach is posited as being an achievable means of simulating real construction processes in a way that enlists high levels of student participation and can be executed as a parallel stream to reinforce lecture content.
