Abstract
The aim of this article is to study how students currently understand the conception
of space through different media and how that understanding helps them to intervene
in the space. Firstly, the process of teaching and learning as well as innovative
supporting technologies are analysed, revealing the characteristics of the contemporary
student profile and better ways of teaching according to it. Secondly, we
describe the evaluation of an experiment with a virtual reality (VR) system for urban
project design with students of architecture from two universities. The premise is
that the technology used in VR is familiar to the current profile of students. This
paper aims to study the advantages and disadvantages of this trend and to find a balance.
To do so, we use a quantitative method to evaluate students' profiles and their
level of satisfaction with the system. The results were obtained by a questionnaire
and a survey, which show the role and use of technologies in the students' environment
and the degree of satisfaction when using it in the educational processes. In line
with our assumptions, the value of satisfaction in the use of an advanced visualization
technology in the classroom reveals a high level of motivation, in general, with
differentiation between students in their first and last phases of studies.
