Building Information Modelling (BIM) is deemed to shape the future of the construction sector across the world. At present, the lack of BIM in tertiary education has been the rising concern around the world as the demand for BIM talent increases. The current landscape suggests that few pedagogic researches have been undertaken to advance BIM education, particularly in Malaysia. BIM implementation could only be possible by identifying the potential barriers, which is a basic pre-requisite for successful adoption of BIM. Unfortunately, previous studies on the barriers of BIM adoption have often based on theoretical constructs, which are deterministic in nature. The methodology used could not portray a conclusive correlation of causal relations among the variables, creating difficulty in developing holistic and workable solutions. Therefore, this study aims to develop a methodology that provides a dynamic representation of the barriers in implementing BIM in tertiary education. The methodology combines both the deterministic (feedback from questionnaire survey) and dynamic approach (causal loop diagram). Data was first collected and analysed through a questionnaire survey administered among lecturers from selected Malaysian universities. Following that, a dynamic systems approach (causal loop diagram) was used to demonstrate the complex nature and interrelationship of the barriers for a more holistic representation. Results from the deterministic analysis has suggested barriers that relate to technology, while findings from the dynamics has identified the people aspect as the core barrier for BIM adoption. This study has contributed in establishing a methodology that integrates the dynamic approach with the deterministic data towards providing a more holistic representation of a system that further enables the identification of holistic solutions that would address the core barriers inhibiting the implementation of BIM education, particularly at Malaysian Universities.

马来西亚高等教育中采用建筑信息模型的障碍的动态表示

建筑信息模型（BIM）被认为可以塑造全球建筑行业的未来。当前，随着对BIM人才的需求增加，高等教育中缺乏BIM的问题已成为世界范围内日益关注的问题。当前的情况表明，很少开展教育学研究来推进BIM教育，特别是在马来西亚。只有确定潜在的障碍，才能实施BIM，这是成功采用BIM的基本前提。不幸的是，以前关于BIM采用障碍的研究通常基于理论上的结构，这些结构本质上是确定性的。所使用的方法无法描述变量之间因果关系的结论性相关性，从而在开发整体可行的解决方案时遇到了困难。因此，这项研究旨在开发一种方法，该方法可以动态地表示在高等教育中实施BIM的障碍。该方法结合了确定性（问卷调查的反馈）和动态方法（因果关系图）。首先通过对选定的马来西亚大学的讲师进行的问卷调查来收集和分析数据。随后，使用动态系统方法（因果关系图）演示了障碍的复杂性质和相互关系，以便更全面地表示。确定性分析的结果表明存在与技术相关的障碍，而动力学的发现已将人员方面确定为采用BIM的核心障碍。
