Abstract:
Abstract The German Constructicon Project (www.german-constructicon.de) aims at documenting grammatical constructions in contemporary standard German on the basis of annotated corpus examples, including relations between constructions and between constructions and evoked semantic frames. So far, the research focus has been mainly on the development and computational implementation of a constructicographic workflow (including a parsing pipeline) that allows for addressing any kind of constructions on varying levels of schematicity, idiomaticity, and abstractness. However, such an exemplar-driven procedure precludes us from systematically identifying constructional candidates. In this article, we scrutinize ways to operationalize and implement data-mining procedures to inductively identify construction candidates.

Abstract:
Usage-based CxG approaches share the central assumption that any grammar has to be acquired and organised through input-based abstraction and categorisation. Diasystematic Construction Grammar (DCxG) is based on the idea that these processes are not sensitive to language boundaries. Multilingual input thus results in multilingual grammars which are conceived of as constructicons containing language-specific as well as language-unspecific constructions. Within such systems, phonological structures play an important part in the identification of schematic constructions. However, the status of phonology in DCxG, as in CxG in general, yet remains unclear. This paper presents some arguments for including phonological elements systematically in the construction-based analysis of (multilingual) constructional systems.

Abstract:
The so-called into-causative construction, involving the pattern ‘V NP into V-ing’, raises intriguing questions in terms of lexical creativity as well as variation. This article, based on nearly 20,000 tokens from more than 1.3 billion words of text, from both British and American English, carries out a comprehensive corpus-based investigation of the construction. The article supports past research on certain types of variation in the use of the construction in British and American English, but sheds new light on how these may relate to diachronic shifts as well as to synchronic variation. The article also sketches a construction-based analysis to account for the grammatical properties of the into-causative construction. In particular, it shows that the construction, as an extension of the caused-motion construction, shares grammatical properties with its family constructions including the resultative and way constructions, but is distinctive from these in several respects. By allowing close interactions between the matrix verb and the grammatical constructions, the constructional view can also account for innovative uses of the construction.

Abstract:
The emergence and development of the Way construction was famously examined by Israel (1996) in a study which traced the modern form of the construction to three senses or subschemas, namely manner of motion (He stumbled his way to the front door), means of motion (He dug his way out of the prison) and incidental activity (He whistled his way out of the room). The present article moves beyond the late Middle English period – the starting point of Israel's research – and looks at the precursors of the Way construction since Old English times, as well as its interaction with the Intransitive Motion construction (IMC) (He walked into the room). By approaching the data in terms of Goldberg's typology (1997) of verb-construction relationships, which is finer-grained than Israel's tripartite division, the analysis identifies the areas of conceptual and constructional overlap that have existed between the Way construction and the IMC in the course of history, and shows that the Way construction has gradually specialised in the expression of those relations which could not be readily coded in the IMC, such as means of motion and incidental activity. The study thus seeks to contribute to a better understanding of how the constructicon, the repertory of constructions making up the grammar of a language, may change over time.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the findings of constructional modeling in the formalism of cognitive quantitative construction grammar, a newly developed research framework within a cognitive-quantitative grammar approach. Triangulating theoretical tenets, methodological principles and research tools of cognitivesemiotic frameworks with quantitative corpus studies, cognitive quantitative construction grammar provides a comprehensive qualitative-quantitative approach to examining cognitive foundations, general and idiosyncratic linguistic features, usage patterns and distribution of linguistic constructions. In this context, constructional modeling entails applying a computerized linguoquantitative procedure for a construction profile parametrization. This procedure yields operationalized and statistically verified data on the essential parameters that determine a construction’s linguistic behavior. The modeling uses the boxbracket notation, which integrates the box notation to represent holistic construction-level information and construction’s constituent-level information, and the bracket notation to detail specific linguistic properties and constructional constraints.The constructional modeling in the integrated box-bracket notational system applied to English ꞌdetached nonfinite/nonverbal with explicit subjectꞌ-constructions allows for a comprehensive representation of their external and internal linguistic properties and captures inheritance links betweenthe constructions at macro-, meso- and micro-levels of the constructional network. The research findings demonstrate the feasibility of applying the cognitive quantitative construction grammar formalism to model the linguistic properties and constraints of complex clause-level constructions and how these constructions are likely to be represented in the mental grammar of speakers.

Abstract:
Abstract A constructicon, i.e., a structured inventory of constructions, essentially aims at documenting functions of lexical and grammatical constructions. Among other parameters, so-called constructional collo-profiles, as introduced by Herbst (2018, 2020), are conclusive for determining constructional meanings. They provide information on how relevant individual words are for construction slots, they hint at usage preferences of constructions and serve as a helpful indicator for semantic peculiarities of constructions. However, even though collo-profiles constitute an indispensable component of constructicon entries, they pose major challengers for constructicographers: For a constructicographic enterprise it is not feasible to conduct collostructional analyses for hundreds or even thousands of constructions. In this article, we introduce a procedure based on the large language model BERT that allows to predict collo-profiles without having to extensively annotate instances of constructions in a given corpus. Specifically, by discussing the constructions X macht Y ADJP (‘x makes Y ADJ’, e.g. he drives him crazy) and N1 PREP N1 (e.g., bumper to bumper, constructions over constructions), we show how the developed automated system generates collo-profiles based on a limited number of annotated instances. Finally, we place collo-profiles alongside other dimensions of constructional meanings included in the German Constructicon.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a view of the linguistic construction in Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) in which constructions are posited to be structured grammatical objects with a unique constructional signature that uniquely identifies them. We argue that the construction has an input and an output, and that it contains a local workspace in which the processing of the various lexical and grammatical rules applies, according to the constraints within the constructional object. In recent years there has been a growing recognition that the RRG account of constructions is an under-utilised resource that deserves a wider application to problems in cross-linguistic analysis (Nolan & Diedrichsen, 2013; Nolan & Periñán, 2014). As a functional grammar with strong claims of adequacy, RRG has however had several challenges from Construction Grammar (Butler & Martín Arista, 2009; Goldberg, 2006; Michaelis, 2006, 2010). This paper addresses a number of these challenges. In the view of constructions presented here, the linking over the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic interfaces resides in the body of the construction, and the construction interacts with the lexicon which provides lexical information relevant to the construction. The constructions reside in a construction repository. This model of constructions delivers a means to address the challenges posed to the RRG account of the role and place of constructions within a lexicalist functionalist model of grammar.

Abstract We provide a practical step-by-step methodology of how to build a full-scale constructicon resource for a natural language, sharing our experience from the nearly completed project of the Russian Constructicon, an open-access searchable database of over 2,200 Russian constructions (https://site.uit.no/russian-constructicon/). The constructions are organized in families, clusters, and networks based on their semantic and syntactic properties, illustrated with corpus examples, and tagged for the CEFR level of language proficiency. The resource is designed for both researchers and L2 learners of Russian and offers the largest electronic database of constructions built for any language. We explain what makes the Russian Constructicon different from other constructicons, report on the major stages of our work, and share the methods used to systematically expand the inventory of constructions. Our objective is to encourage colleagues to build constructicon resources for additional natural languages, thus taking Construction Grammar to a new quantitative and qualitative level, facilitating cross-linguistic comparison.

Abstract:
Abstract Novel formats of construction-based description hold great potential for phenomena that fall through the cracks in traditional kinds of linguistic reference works. On the example of German verb argument structure constructions with a prepositional object, we demonstrate that a construction-based description of such phenomena is superior to existing lexicographic and grammaticographic treatments, but that it also poses a number of new problems. The most fundamental of these relates to the fact that construction-based analyses can be proposed on different levels of abstraction. We illustrate pertinent problems relating to the precise identification of constructional form and meaning and suggest a multi-layered descriptive format for web-based electronic reference constructica that can accommodate these challenges. Semantically, the proposed solution integrates both lumping and splitting perspectives on constructional grain size and permits users to flexibly zoom in and out on individual elements in the resource. Formally, it can capture variation in the number and marking of realised arguments as found in e.g. passives and transitivity alternations. Aspects of the theoretical controversy between Construction Grammar and Valency Theory are addressed where relevant, but our focus is on questions of description and the practical implementation of construction-based analyses in a suitable type of linguistic reference work.

Abstract:
This article reviews some of the foundational assumptions of Croft'sRadical Construction Grammar. While constructions have featured prominently in much recent work in cognitive linguistics, Croft adopts the ‘radical’ view that constructions are the primary objects of linguistic analysis, with lexical and syntactic categories being defined with respect to the constructions in which they occur. This approach reverses the traditional view, according to which complex expressions are compositionally assembled through syntactic rules operating over items selected from the lexicon. The ubiquity of idioms, especially so-called constructional idioms, provides compelling evidence for the essential correctness of the radical constructional view. The possibility of a radical constructional approach to phonology is also discussed.

Abstract:
Significant attempts have been made by large contractors in the UK construction industry to improve safety on their sites. Safety management systems have been put in place, minimum training requirements have been established, and worker engagement initiatives implemented in the quest for a positive safety culture. However accidents and incidents still occur. Grounded in social constructionism, this study sought to explore how people construct safety in and through their interactions at work on the large construction sites of the UK. Data was collected from five UK construction projects, all over £20m in value, and included site safety signage, conversations discussing safety and various safety documents. Discourse analysis of the data revealed considerable variation in the contextual constructions of safety. Safety was found to be inconsistent, incomplete and incidental, relating to a variety of different realities in a variety of different contexts. Relatively straightforward constructs and discourses developed around safety, such as its polarisation, the construction of safety as PPE itself, and the development of safety as un-safety. However these were further developed by more complicated and interrelated discourses of safety as practice, enforcement and engagement. The variation within and between these master discourses has consequences for safety culture in terms of its construction, homogenisation and perpetuation on sites. The study makes recommendations for further academic research to examine the variation in the discourses of safety within the management hierarchy, who seek to develop a safe work environment through the safety culture programmes yet are challenged by the conflicts of safety as engagement and safety as enforcement. The study also suggests industry interventions to facilitate the improvement and development of practices to assist safety management on large UK construction sites.

Abstract:
The task of implementing a programming language is a task that entails a great deal of work. Yet much of this work is similar for different programming languages: most languages require, e.g., parsing, name resolution, type-checking, and optimization. When implementing domain-specific languages (DSLs) the reimplementation of these largely similar tasks seems especially redundant. A number of approaches exist to alleviate this issue, including embedded DSLs, macro-rewriting systems, and more general systems intended for language implementation. However, these tend to have at least one of the following limitations: They present a leaky abstraction, e.g., error messages do not refer to the DSL but rather some other programming language, namely the one used to implement the DSL. They limit the flexibility of the DSL, either to the constructs present in another language, or merely to the syntax of some other language. They see an entire language as the unit of composition. Complete languages are extended with other complete language extensions. Instead, this thesis introduces the concept of a syntax construction, which represents a smaller unit of composition. A syntax construction defines a single language feature, e.g., an if-statement, an anonymous function, or addition. Each syntax construction specifies its own syntax, binding semantics, and runtime semantics, independent of the rest of the language. The runtime semantics are defined using a translation into another target language, similarly to macros. These translations can then be checked to ensure that they preserve binding semantics and introduce no binding errors. This checking ensures that binding errors can be presented in terms of code the programmer wrote, rather than generated code in some underlying language. During evaluation several limitations are encountered. Removing or minimizing these limitations appears possible, but is left for future work
Att implementera ett programmeringsspråk är ett mycket arbetstungt åtagande. Detta trots att mycket av det som behöver göras inte skiljer sig särskilt mycket mellan olika språk, de flesta behöver exempelvis parsning, namnupplösning, typcheckning och optimering. För ett domänspecifikt programmeringsspråk (DSL) är denna upprepning ännu mer tydlig. Det finns ett antal olika metoder för att hantera detta, exempelvis embeddade DSLer, macro-system, och mer generella system för programspråksimplementation. Dessa tenderar dock att ha en eller flera av följande begränsningar: De abstraktioner som introduceras "läcker", felmeddelanden kan exempelvis referera till abstraktioner i ett annat programmeringsspråk, nämligen det som användes för att implementera DSLet. DSLet som implementeras blir begränsat, antingen till vad som finns i implementationsspråket, eller till implementationsspråkets syntax. Ett DSL ses som den minsta hela beståndsdelen i systemet. Om delar av språket ska återanvändas eller inkluderas i ett annat måste hela språket följa med. Denna avhandling introducerar istället syntaxkonstruktioner som minsta beståndsdel. En syntaxkonstruktion representerar en enskild del av ett språk, exempelvis en if-sats, en anonym funktion, eller addition. Varje syntaxkonstruktion definierar sin egen syntax, bindningssemantik och exekveringssemantik, utan referenser till språket som helhet. Exekveringssemantiken liknar en macro, den uttrycks som en översättning till ett implementationsspråk. Tack vare att bindningssemantiken är specifierad kan vi sedan kontrollera översättningen så att den inte kan introducera bindningsfel. Detta medför att felmeddelanden kan referera enbart till kod som programmeraren faktiskt skrev, istället för genererad kod i implementationsspråket. Evalueringen påvisar flera begränsningar med systemet. Begränsningarna tycks lösbara, men detta arbete lämnas till framtiden.

Dans ce travail de recherche, au croisement de 1 'urbanisme, de la géographie, de la sociologie, de la psycho-acoustique et de la psychologie cognitive, nous traitons la question du parcours sonore urbain. Notre dessein est de construire et d'élaborer des éléments de réponse à notre principale question : qu'est-ce que la mémoire sonore du parcours urbain ? Notre tâche serait alors de mettre en lumière les modes de construction et de constitution de la carte mentale sonore moyennant l'examen du parcours dans la ville. Pour mettre en valeur la synergie qui s'installe entre l'urbain et le chemin, entre le parcours et la sédimentabilité des évènements sonores. Après la réalisation et l'analyse des enquêtes effectuées à Grenoble, Strasbourg, Québec et Sousse (Tunisie), nous arrivons à la présentation et la définition de cinq nouvelles notions fondamentales dans le traitement de la carte mentale sonore à savoir, le Système sonore, le Coefficient Mnésique Sonore, la Synaptogénèse urbaine, le Spectre mental urbain et la Fractalité sonore. Ces notions sont élaborées à partir de l'étude de toutes les données théoriques et méthodologiques que nous avons abordées tout au long de notre réflexion. Elles nous permettent de comprendre le fonctionnement de la mémoire sonore du parcours urbain et de préciser ses caractéristiques et les modalités de son fonctionnement.

Le matériau Terre désigne les matériaux meubles argileux que l'on trouve en général sous la terre végétale. Il est utilisé en génie civil pour la construction de remblais ou de couches de chaussées. C'est également un matériau de construction utilisé depuis des millénaires et que l'on redécouvre aujourd'hui. La première partie de cette étude a eu pour objet d'évaluer 1 'influence de la composition du matériau et des conditions de mise en œuvre sur les caractéristiques géotechniques de la terre après compactage pour son utilisation en génie civil et en construction. Ensuite, l'évolution des caractéristiques mécaniques et rhéologiques de ce matériau a été étudiée durant son séchage. Certaines modélisations développées pour les sols non saturés et pour les bétons ont été appliquées aux résultats expérimentaux. Une partie de cette étude a été faite sur les sols traités à la chaux et au ciment. Une autre partie a été consacrée aux structures maçonnées en blocs et mortiers de terre. Un élément de maçonnerie plane, ainsi qu'un arc et une coupole ont été expérimentés. Les modélisations numériques réalisées en prenant en compte un comportement élastique des matériaux et l'ouverture des fissures ont donné des résultats proches des résultats d'essais
Earth means all type of loose soils which can be generally found under humus. It can be used in civil engineering for the building of embankments or for road layers. It is also a building material that has been used for thousands of years and is now being rediscovered. The object of the first part of this study is to evaluate the influence of the composition of the mate rial and of the conditions of its implementation on the geotechnical characteristics of earth, after compaction, for its use in civil engineering and construction. Then, the evolution of the mechanical and rheological characteristics of this mate rial have be en studied during its drying. Some models, developed for non saturated soils and for concrete, have been applied to the experimental results. A part of this study has been performed on lime and cement treated soils. Another part concerns masonry structures made with earth blocks and earth mortars. An element of plane masonry, as well as an arch and a cupola have been tested.

Full text
Abstract:
Le travail présenté dans ce mémoire concerne la réponse sismique d'ossatures non contreventées en portiques métalliques ou en portiques mixtes acier-béton, influencée par le comportement des assemblages. Les assemblages, de type poutre-poteau, en acier ou la partie en acier des assemblages mixtes sont réalisés par des platines d'extrémités boulonnées, utilisant des boulons H. R. à serrage contrôlé. La première partie de l'étude, à caractère expérimental, relate plusieurs séries d'essais effectués à Rennes et à Timisoara ; son objectif est de rechercher des dispositions constructives appropriées en vue d'obtenir un meilleur comportement ductile des assemblages métalliques et mixtes, soumis à des chargements de types monotone et cyclique, ces chargements pouvant être symétriques ou fortement dissymétriques. Une attention particulière est accordée à certains points de détails des assemblages : partie inférieure de la platine boulonnée au moyen d'essais élémentaires de type " T-stub ", type de chanfrein à exécuter pour le soudage des poutres à la platine, renforcement du panneau d'âme du poteau métallique par des doublures, etc. Cette étude a permis de confronter les résultats de l'expérience aux modèles de calcul des normes actuelles, et de proposer quelques recommandations et formules simples permettant un meilleur comportement dissipatif. Une deuxième partie porte sur le calibrage des modèles numériques à l'aide du logiciel DRAIN 2DX, par rapport aux résultats des essais expérimentaux. En utilisant un modèle à fibres pour les éléments de type poutre-poteau, et en intégrant les caractéristiques mesurées des matériaux, on peut arriver à un bon accord avec les résultats d'essais. Pour les assemblages proprement dits, un modèle sophistiqué, basé sur une courbe enveloppe de réponse multi-linéaire incluant un comportement cyclique dégradable conduit également à une simulation convenable des courbes réelles moment-rotation. Dans la troisième partie, qui s'appuie sur des analyses non linéaires dynamiques et sur des données d'accélérogrammes du sol, on s'efforce de tirer parti des comportements des assemblages métalliques et mixtes expérimentés en laboratoire. Cinq portiques, dont un métallique et quatre mixtes sont analysés, en considérant les poutres reliées aux poteaux par des assemblages ayant des comportements similaires à ceux expérimentaux, donc plus ou moins rigides et/ou plus ou moins résistants. L'emplacement des structures a été supposé dans des zones de nature et d'intensité sismiques différentes, en particulier la France et la Roumanie. Les réponses des structures sont jugées en termes d'exigences portant sur les rotations élasto - plastiques des zones dissipatives et les déplacements relatifs entre étages. La réponse en ductilité globale est traduite en termes de facteur de comportement q et de rendement sismique η
The work presented in this report concerns the seismic response of moment resisting steel or composite steel-concrete frames, influenced by the behaviour of their joints. The steel of the beam-to-column joints or the steel part in the case of composite joints are realised by bolted end-plate connections, using HSF bolts with controlled preloading. The first part of the study, having an experimental character, relates several series of tests, performed at Rennes and at Timisoara; its objective is to research the appropriate constructive layouts for an improved ductile behaviour of the steel and composite end-plate beam-to-column connections under monotonic and cyclic types of loading, under symmetrical or strongly unsymmetrical conditions. A particular attention is given to some detail points of the connections: the inferior part of the end-plate, by means of basic experimental tests on “T-stub” subassemblies, bevel type used for welding of beams to the end plates, the reinforcing of the column steel panel of the steel column by doubling plates, etc. This study allowed us to compare the experimental results with those of the models proposed by recent codes and to propose some recommendations and simple formulae in order to permit a better dissipative behaviour. A second part concerns the calibration of numerical models, by the help of DRAIN 2DX computer code, according to the results of the experimental tests. In the case of beam-columns type of elements, using a fibre model and including the measured characteristics of the materials it was proved that we can arrive to a good agreement as compared to the experimental results. As for the connections themselves, a sophisticated model, based on a multi-linear envelope curve of response and including a degrading cyclic behaviour, leads also to an adequate simulation of the real moment-rotation response curves. Into the third part, based on the dynamic non-linear analyses and on soil accelerograms, we try to take advantage of the behaviour of the steel and composite connections tested in laboratory. Five moment frames, from which one metallic and four composite are analysed, considering the beams jointed to columns by connections having a similar behaviour of those tested experimentally, so more or less rigid and/or more or less resistant. The location of the structures was supposed in zones having different nature and seismic levels, particularly in France and Romania. The responses are judged in terms of the required élasto-plastic rotation of the dissipative elements and by the required inter-story drifts. The global ductility response is interpreted in terms of the behaviour factor q and of the seismic performance factor η

Abstract:
Over recent years, organizations such as the Federal Highway Administration and Departments of Transportation across the United States have showed interest in automating highway construction processes. The addition of e-Construction and other advanced technologies can significantly improve the efficiency and safety of highway paving operations, specifically paving inspections. Activities such as collecting load tickets, tracking pavement lay-down temperatures, and monitoring roller movement are antiquated practices that DOT inspectors perform during paving operations. E-Ticketing, Paver Mounted Thermal Profiling, and Intelligent Compaction were proposed to automate paving inspections and were recently tested in two resurfacing pilot projects in the state of Kentucky. Findings from the projects indicate that the three technologies display great potential in improving safety and efficiency of paving inspections.

Abstract:
In a constructionist approach to grammar, morphological constructions and clausal constructions may have the same theoretical status as argument structure constructions (e.g., Goldberg, 1995, pp. 22–23; Croft, 2001; Booij, 2010). In this chapter, the author argues that the Danish verb prefixes be- and for-, in addition to verbal derivation, impose a lexeme-independent transitive argument structure construction with three meaning variants. In a large-scale corpus study, a distributional analysis of the prefix construction and its association with verbal base lexemes shows that the two constructional variants have a different semantic profile. While the potential productivity of be- and for- constructions is restricted, authentic examples of creative usage show that all constructional variants are partially productive in present-day Danish.

Abstract:
Construction industry creates an environment for people's lives. On the other hand, construction activities have a negative impact on various aspects of the environment. It consumes natural raw materials, significantly contributes to carbon footprint, waste, etc. Appropriate choice of constructional, material, technical, technological and environmental parameters of buildings can partially reduce this negative impacts. By designing, implementing and using wood-based constructions it is possible to reduce the negative impact in the area of construction waste generation. Currently, the construction market offers a large number of construction systems of wooden buildings, which have both strengths and weaknesses. In this paper are identified construction systems of wooden buildings offered on the Slovak construction market. The aim of the paper is a detailed identification of construction waste generation during the realization of particular wooden structures and monitoring of waste generation in production factory (off site) and on construction site (on site) during the construction of wooden buildings. Based on the obtained information, the individual construction systems of wood-based constructions are compared in terms of construction waste generation

Abstract:
We present a new open-access electronic resource named the Russian Constructicon that offers a searchable database of Russian constructions accompanied by descriptions of their properties and illustrated with corpus examples. The project was carried out over the period 2016–2020 and at present contains an inventory of over 2200 multi-word constructions of Contemporary Standard Russian. We prioritize “partially schematic” constructions that lie between the two extremes of fully compositional syntactic sequences on the one hand and fully idiomatic (phraseological) expressions on the other hand. Constructions of this type are difficult to account for in terms of either lexicon or grammar alone, and are often underrepresented in reference works of Russian. A typical construction in our database contains a fixed part (anchor words) and an open slot that can be filled with a restricted set of lexemes. In this paper we first focus on key characteristics of this resource that make it different from existing constructicons of other languages. Second, we describe how the new interface will be designed and how it will serve the needs of both linguists and L2 learners of Russian. In particular, we discuss various search possibilities relevant for different users and those parameters that are available for specifying the retrieval output. An example of an entry is given to show how the information about each construction is structured and presented. Third, we provide an overview of our multi-level semantic classification of constructions. We argue that our system of semantic and syntactic tags subdivides our items into meaningful classes and smaller groups and eventually facilitates the identification of constructional families and clusters. This methodology works well in turning the initial list of constructions as unrelated units into a structured network and makes it possible to refine and expand the collected inventory of constructions in a systematic way.

Abstract:
The complexity of technical subjects related to the construction field, in Architecture Studies, is elevated in the first years of study due to the lack of fundamental knowledge of terms and properties in construction systems. Students enter their first year without previous fundamental training, in most cases, without having visited a construction site, generating pedagogical challenges. Given the complexity of the subject, traditional teaching causes mechanisation and memorisation, erroneous on many occasions, replacing reasoning and understanding of the usefulness of each system and constructive solution. Taking advantage of the entertaining and dynamic potential of Social Networks in students, this work analyses the design, development, and experimentation of a flipped classroom teaching model that combines explanations of main concepts and construction systems through recorded and explained videos by the students themselves, in search of an active, playful and motivating learning methodology. La complejidad de las asignaturas técnicas, correspondientes al área de Construcción del Grado en Estudios de Arquitectura, es incrementada aún más durante los primeros cursos por el desconocimiento de términos y propiedades fundamentales en los sistemas constructivos. Los alumnos acceden al primer curso sin una formación constructiva básica, en una mayoría de casos sin haber visitado una obra, lo cual genera un reto pedagógico, pues ante la complejidad de la materia, la enseñanza tradicional provoca la mecanización y memorización, en muchas ocasiones errónea, sustituyendo al razonamiento y compresión de la utilidad de cada sistema y solución constructiva. Aprovechando potencial lúdico y dinamizador de las Redes Sociales en los estudiantes, este trabajo analiza el diseño, desarrollo y experimentación desarrollada para integrar explicaciones de conceptos y sistemas constructivos mediante vídeos grabados y explicados por los propios estudiantes en la constitución de una metodología activa, lúdica y motivadora de aula invertida.
