Abstract

Eğitim mekânlarında renklerin doğru kullanımı mekânsal kaliteyi artırarak kaliteli eğitime ulaşmayı mümkün kılabileceğinden, bu çalışma bir eğitim mekânı olan iç mekân tasarım stüdyolarında öğrencilerin renk tercihlerini araştırmaktadır. Çalışma, 2023-2024 güz döneminde Türkiye'deki X Üniversitesi'nde kolayda örnekleme yoluyla seçilen 198 İç Mimarlık lisans öğrencisine odaklanmıştır. Bu kapsamda gerçek deneysel araştırma modeli olan randomize öntest-sontest kontrol gruplu desen kullanılmış ve katılımcılar uyarıcı faktör olarak sanal gerçeklik yöntemi ile iç mimari stüdyo mekânının ön duvar yüzeyinde Munsell renklerini deneyimlemişlerdir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, orta kroma ve orta değere sahip soluk mavi rengin (Munsell notasyonu = 5B 6/8) iç tasarım stüdyolarında en çok tercih edilen renk olduğunu ve deneysel sürecin mekan bağlamına yönelik renk tercihlerini etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Bununla birlikte, mekânsal bağlam kullanılmadan yapılan genel renk tercihleri turuncu renk dışında deneysel süreçten etkilenmemiştir.

STUDENTS' COLOR PREFERENCES IN VR-BASED INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIOS

Abstract

Since the correct use of colors in educational spaces can increase spatial quality and make it possible to achieve quality education, this study investigates the color preferences of students in interior design studios, which is an educational space. The study focused on 198 Interior Architecture undergraduates at X University in Turkey during the 2023-2024 fall semester, selected through convenience sampling. In this context, the randomized pretest-posttest control group design, which is a real experimental research model, was used and the participants experienced Munsell colors on the front wall surface of the interior design studio space with the virtual reality method as a stimulus factor. The results of the study revealed that pale blue color (Munsell notation = 5B 6/8) with medium chroma and medium value is the most preferred color in interior design studios and that the experimental process influences color preferences for the space context. However, the general color preferences made without using the spatial context were not affected by the experimental process except for the color orange.
