Abstract:
This paper describes a Croatian educational experience about
the possibility of implementing a combination of the famous method
of “work study” and the most modern simulation software to improve
construction production. For the first time the students observed the
capital technological construction processes “on site” and then measured
the necessary time for their execution by the well known “chronometric”
method. During the second exercise they analyzed the real
observed processes and the sample of collected data. After that, they
made a “graphic-simulation” model using the best-known software“Stroboscope” for simulating “just” the construction technological
processes. At the end of their training exercise, the students concluded
about the possibilities of improving technological construction processes
on a “real site”. The main goal of this paper was to describe the“real process” of real education for some regular Croatian students.
The simulation of construction processes, with real collection of data,
may train the students about what to do in real situations. Of course,
this paper presents only the general approach without greater detail.
