Abstract

1^st year architecture students of today are far more knowledgeable about architecture than the 1^st year architecture students of the past. They came to their first architecture classes already equipped with architectural information they gathered from the internet, and media.Unlike students of the past who happened to come to their first year architecture classes with enthusiasm and interest in architecture only, and with a little information gathered about what they will be learning. Social media has become a universal lounge gathering everybody from all around the globe where they can exchange, share, and express their opinions freely without suppression or barriers. In a world like this; it is not wise anymore especially among educators to insist on applying the "One-way" transform of knowledge communication model in teaching and learning since – within such environment – it has become difficult to suppress students' voices and opinions, as that will be having its negative impacts on the development of education theories and methods.The research paper investigates students' opinions, suggestions, and feedback about whether typical learning phases that they usually pass through until finishing learning "History of Architecture" are enough for them to gain full awareness about the subject,or that there are additional learning stages, or activities that should be added to the typical learning phases in order for them to gain complete awareness, and full satisfaction about the taught subject.Since the research goal is to explore new and innovative learning ideas for the purpose of improving quality of learning "History of Architecture", the research has adopted a simple approach in investigating students' opinions by collecting data through survey forms with questionnaires designated specifically for the purpose.
