Appendix C l. Exploratory survey at the UAEU There are two computer labs at the Male campus. The first lab is equipped with twelve Pentium IV IBM Net Vista computers. The second lab is equipped with seven Pentium III IBM 300GL computers and four Pentium IV IBM Net vista computers. The lab also has three IBM 300PL Pentium II computers. The first lab is also equipped with one 9600 power Macintosh and one P IV Dell tower. The second lab on the other hand is equipped with one PIII Compaq desk pro, and there is also a lab-server with one high speed P III IBM Net Vista. There is also one lab in the women’s campus that consists of twelve PIV IBM Net Vista and seventeen PIII IBM Net Vista. The lab also contains nine PIII IBM PC300GL and one PIII Compaq Deskpro. The women's lab also contains two HP laser printers, one canon printer, one HP scanner scan jet, one HP plotter and one Infocus LCD projector. The males' lab is also equipped with one HP Plotter Design Jet, HP laser printer and HP Scan Jet. CAVE is abbreviation of Computer Animated Virtual Environment. The CAVE is considered to be the most advanced and sophisticated technology in applying the virtual reality techniques in architecture and design. The investigation started with drawing a random sample of twelve students from the class list of each of the five cohorts in the architecture school. An equal number of students was selected from each of the male and female campuses. A preliminary meeting was held with each of the male and female students separately. In this meeting, the researcher informed the students of the purpose of her research and told them that she needs to collect information about their perceptions of the teaching and learning practices in the design courses. She, then, explained the procedure that will be followed and the time they need to devote to this work. The researcher also assured them that the collected information will be confidential and participation is voluntary. Small pieces of paper were then distributed in which each student wrote his/her name and indicated whether he/she was willing to participate. Only one male student from the first year cohort and one female from the third year cohort indicated they were not willing to participate. Both of them indicated that they could not devote the time needed because of personal reasons. The two students were replaced with randomly selected colleagues. Prior to the focus group meetings, the researcher prepared an interview guide, the questions of which flowed from the general to the specific. However, this guide was not intended to be faithfully followed. The researcher decided to refrain from interfering if the general question was sufficient to lead the students to cover all the aspects of the information needed. The questions were meant to be used as triggers when needed, and to turn the students back to the issues under consideration when the conversation strays away from these issues. The researcher also decided from the outset that she will 83
