Evaluation of Professional Awareness Levels of Interior Architecture Students with Practice Assignment
Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of earthquake awareness training for non-structural elements in the interior, which was conducted in the undergraduate program of the faculty of architecture, on the level of knowledge of the students, with a practice assignment that will increase the professional awareness of interior architecture students. When pilot study and practice study were compared, it was discovered that the practice study had a higher value with an increase of 7.67. The increase in this rate may also indicate that it has an impact on students' professional awareness, particularly following the 6 February earthquake. Consequently, both in the pilot study and the practice study, there was a considerable improvement in students' professional awareness of non-structural aspects in the interior. Thus, it has been demonstrated that 11 modules are effective in disclosing hazards, risks, and precautions while investigating structural applications in the teaching process.

The article complies with national and international research and publication ethics. We would like to thank all the students who participated in the study. This paper was prepared within the scope of the project titled "Improving Knowledge and Awareness of Interior Architecture Students with a Measurable Method and a Training Program for The Risks and Hazards Caused by Non-Structural Elements During Earthquake Process (121K927)” which is supported within the special call of TÜBİTAK 1001 - Support Program for Scientific and Technological Research Projects. Therefore, ethical approval was obtained from the University Ethics Committee for the study. This study has received approval from Akdeniz University's ethics committee (Meeting number: 04; Decision number: 07; Date: 07.07.2021). Both target universities gave their official approval for the application. Each student also completed a consent form, which included information about the scientific rationale for the questionnaire survey and the use of data with their written and verbal informed consent. Turkey had an earthquake disaster during the time when we were writing this paper (on February 6, 2023). We dedicate our efforts to those who lost their lives, lost loved ones, and were directly affected by the earthquake.
