        Research by design is an appropriate and also necessary approach for future architectural design. This article deals with the relationship between research and architectural design process. The purpose of this research is to use applied one, to create the interaction between theory, practice and optimize the learning process. This research is a practical way of how to use design in research, and it attempts is to answer the question how research is conducted to maximize the use of information or data collected also how does this method affect the quality of student's performance during the design process. The paper attempts to collect data on research on architecture and the relationship between research and the design process in various sources also interpretation that different designers and researchers have done, and to analyze and summarize previous studies, a model for applying research in the training architectural design was achieved then examined this method in the course of architectural design education. This model can provide a new insight into the relationship between research and design process of architecture. In order to apply the type of research in the model, Milburn & Brown classification were used and intrinsic research, case studies and combined studies were investigated in different groups.The test was carried out using a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical target in this study can be used to encompass all architecture students who are undergoing architecture design course. In this method, the dependent variable was measured one time before the independent variable was manipulated, and again after. In this research, independent variable, proposed design process and dependent variable, design quality and student performance. The data of the study were gathered by qualified judge panel using functional evaluation and scoring method. The test of this model was carried out at the architecture studio.In this study, 48 master degree students has been analyzes in two semester. The work of students in different groups as well as their projects with them was evaluated and compared five times in different stages of the design process, in order to compare student design performance and design quality. The student's assessment scores were analyzed by ANOVA test. The findings of this study indicates that superiority of using combined research in this specific model. Based on the findings of this study, there was a significant different between the groups that were based on the designed model and the test group showed better performance and quality of students projects based on this model. In selecting the type research, the mean sources of the case group were higher than the library, and the significant difference between the combined group with the library group and case study indicates the superiority of using the combined research. Another issue was the type of that, according to Kolb’s learning classification, learning in the control group is through the learning by experiencing; in the library study group, learning by thinking and in the case group, it was conducted through learning by observation.

        Attention to abilities as cognitive sciences in this study was very important. First, the principle that education is not merely focused on knowledge transfer, but on the actual learning of learners, attention should be paid to cognitive and non-cognitive abilities; Second, cognitive science emphasizes the activity and perception of learners of the learning environment in the educational process.Constructivist educators designed classroom learning environments based on the principles and assumptions of constructivism.In designing classroom learning environments based on the principles and assumptions of constructivism, attention should be paid to student-related cognitive processes. The purpose of this study was to explain the perception of constructive learning environment based on the cognitive ability of architecture students in teaching design workshops. The method of this research was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of the study was 600 students of architecture students of Hamedan Technical and Vocational University. A sample of 120 people was selected using GPower software. Constructivist learning environment and cognitive abilities questionnaires were used to collect information. Pearson correlation test and multiple regression were calculated to analyze the data. Simultaneous regression results showed that social cognition ability and non-social cognition ability had a positive and significant role in predicting perception of learning environment. From the dimensions of non-social cognition ability, only decision-making, planning, sustained attention and cognitive flexibility had a positive and significant role in predicting perception of the learning environment. Inhibitory memory and control and selective attention did not play a significant role in predicting perception of constructive learning environment. Whereas in a constructive learning environment, emphasis is placed on teaching itself rather than on how it is taught; Therefore, this training is guided in two contexts of learning and focusing on the student's cognitive ability is emphasized. The required level of scotting is also provided by the learner in two stages of scotting with the instructor with challenging activities and scotching. Given that the real world often presents complex issues and situations to learners, educational environments should provide learners with such issues and situations. At the same time, educators should strive to teach learners the ability to deal appropriately with complex environments.Based on the research findings, the importance of social and non-social cognition abilities on perception of constructive learning environment was proved; Therefore, in this regard, it is suggested that these variables be seen and emphasized in educational planning, and if necessary, they should be taught with the help of psychological and educational strategies. It is also necessary that a coherent and comprehensive training protocol and program be developed to improve and improve cognitive and non-cognitive abilities in the context of experimental and experimental research. Also, considering that constructivism-based education emphasizes most of the cognitive efficiencies of student learning, so teachers should use this educational method as one of the effective teaching-learning strategies to design and draw architectural plans. Instructors can use functional assignments based on cognitive ability as a teaching strategy in different stages of education. These programs provide instruction for educators to enhance learners' learning in all cognitive-non-cognitive abilities. Manuscript profile

        Sketches are one of the manifestations of architectural education and tell the designer's cognitive power. In other words, visual representations in the form of sketches are the most important means of expressing ideas and generating concepts for designers and architecture students. Examining the types and methods of drawing of design students shows that each of them uses a unique method and structure in drawing, and it is also a representation of mental ideas.Due to the wide use of hand-drawings in architecture, its growth and improvement are always the attention of designers. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to examine the factors related to it. Among the variables related to it is the cognitive power of the designer or architecture student in thinking and cognitive processing. Systemic thinking is a high-level thinking skill and one of the complex cognitive processes whose goal is to develop cognitive skills appropriate for the 21st century. Having systematic thinking along with understanding the relationships between social-environmental factors and variables gives students the power and the possibility to use learning opportunities optimally, therefore, students who have systemic thinking, the ability to understand the intricacies. In order to deal with it, it is necessary to examine the cognitive power of the designer or architecture student in thinking and cognitive processing. The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between architectural students' conceptual sketches based on systemic thinking and information processing styles in the design process. The research method is a combination of quantitative (descriptive-correlation) and qualitative (analyzing samples of students' Sketches). The statistical population of this research included all students of the Faculty of Art and Architecture of Hamedan Universities. 162 students were selected as a sample in an accessible and purposeful way and answered the questionnaires of systemic thinking and information processing styles. Conceptual sketches were also evaluated by two judges. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, skewness and skewness statistics) and inferential statistics (Pearson's correlation and path analysis). The results showed that experimental processing style cannot predict conceptual diagrams, but rationalist processing style and systemic thinking can predict conceptual diagrams. According to the findings of the research, the importance of rational information processing style in the design process was proved; Therefore, in this regard, it is suggested to teach this type of information processing style in addition to design education programs in order to optimize architectural education and train designers and promote conceptual sketches. In line with this research finding, which shows the importance of systemic thinking in the design process; It is suggested to teach this type of thinking and processing style in educational planning, and since thinking is a system of complex cognitive processes, it can be taught with suitable and competent curricula. By implementing curricula based on systemic thinking, students can be helped to become knowledgeable, self-directed and innovative people. Acquiring systemic thinking skills in universities can be the basis for the development of systemic thinking and the ability to understand complexity to provide training in people Manuscript profile

        Postmodern Philosophers do not consider teaching authoritarianism and the educational system, hierarchy, etc., to be appropriate for some disciplines. In contrast to the authoritarianism that was posed in the modern and earlier years, dialectical and discursive methods have been endorsed by postmodernists, this method is well-known for the creative development that is important in the teaching of architecture. The purpose of this paper is to enhance the quality of learning of architecture education by utilizing postmodern teaching methods. This method seems to be much more suitable for teaching architecture and educating designers. The research method is a descriptive-analytical method, in addition to the description of postmodern education and programming, we have analyzed and explained methods for improving the quality of architecture education. Data collection is based on documents, literature and library studies. The theoretical framework was developed based on the theory of anti—authoritarian education and postmodern education. Finally, strategies to improve this are stated. The results of the article do not seek to define the overall structure in education, but by defining multiple structures in architecture education to increase flexibility and, of course, increase the quality of architecture education. By decentralizing the rules and changing the educational topics in different provinces and climates based on different construction methods, better architectural education is achieved. self-creation is one of the main goals of architecture that can be promoted in a postmodern way, decreasing the focus on the teacher's power and focusing more on the individual ability of students in architectural studios. The role of the teacher is visible as an expert and technician, and through this, the student gains a more complete knowledge of himself and his abilities and completes the path of creativity.

        Changes in architectural education, reconstruction of education and improvement of educational systems to understand the learning process have always been of interest to architectural education professionals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of architectural cognition cards education based on Gestalt theory on metacognition and mental ideas in the design process of students. This research was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test design, post-test with control group. The statistical population included all students of Hamadan Universities. A sample of 40 people was selected by convenience sampling method. Students were randomly divided into experimental and control groups (20 people in each group). The experimental group underwent architectural knowledge cards education based on Gestalt theory for 8 sessions. The main tools for data collection in this study included the State Metacognition Questionnaire and the Mental Ideas Scale. To analyze the data, Smirnov calligraphy test and Leven test were used to calculate the assumptions and multivariate and bivariate MANCOVA analysis of covariance were used. The results showed that architectural cognition cards education based on Gestalt theory has been effective on students 'metacognition and has also been effective on theme design processing in students' design process. The results of this study showed that architectural cognition cards education based on Gestalt theory has an effect on increasing the metacognition of architecture students and thus helps to improve the quality level of architecture students in design.
