空间认知作为建筑设计教学的重点和难点，越来越受到国内外院校的重视。虚拟现实（VR）技术能生成三维动态视景为用户提供1：1的虚拟沉浸体验，对建筑类学生而言，VR技术带来全新的设计视角。为了更好证明VR对学生的空间认知有积极作用，将VR和几种传统的建筑设计方式进行了教学实验，并在不同阶段均对学生进行问卷调查和深入访谈。研究结果表明，VR设计方式下，学生对空间尺寸和比例等的把控更为准确，对空间认知和设计理解的能力有显著提升。同时也为今后VR技术在建筑设计教学领域的应用提供了一定的实践价值。

As the key and difficult point of architectural design teaching, spatial cognition has been paid more and more attention by domestic and foreign universities. Virtual reality (VR) technology can generate 3D dynamic vision to provide users with a 1:1 virtual immersion experience. For architectural students, VR technology brings a new design perspective. In order to prove that VR has a positive effect on students' spatial cognition, this paper conducts teaching experiments on VR and several traditional architectural design methods, and conducts questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews at different stages. The research results show that under the VR design mode, students have more accurate control over spatial size and proportion, and their ability to understand spatial cognition and design has been significantly improved. At the same time, it also provides certain practical value for the application of VR technology in the field of architectural design teaching.
