ABSTRACT

This research aims to develop the formulation of the learning program for building construction based on the local wisdom of Sundanese traditional buildings and the SETS (Science, Environment, Technology and Society) vision by using mock-up media, and to explore the impact of the implementation on the improvement of students’ learning outcomes in architecture education. It employs the Research and Development (R&D) method. The research produced a product which is of good quality in terms of theory, methodological procedure, and empiricism. The development of learning materials is based on lecture materials developed by lecturers in the subject of building structure and construction. The researchers incorporated the concepts of structure and construction based on local wisdom. The concepts of structure and construction of Sundanese traditional buildings can be applied to some materials, such as wooden blocks, wooden boards, construction of doors and windows, construction of stairs and wooden floors, and the wooden frames of roof construction. The implementation of teaching building construction based on the local wisdom of Sundanese traditional buildings using SETS vision and mock-up media can improve the learning outcomes of architecture students on the building structure and construction course. This indicates that learning with a SETS vision using mock-up media affects the students’ learning outcomes according to the characteristics of both the learning and the media. It also suggests that the use of mock-up media for delivering teaching material should be considered by lecturers. If the media can be used well, it will improve students’ learning outcomes.
