  Architectural education before the issue of the involvement of architecture, the concept is affiliated. Architectural training as one of structures of multidimensional of the main topic of “Education” has many aspects in developmental approaches. The growth of academic education need to expand to a qualitative development in Iran. According to the Islamic Azad University Vision for achievement to qualitative development in fourth decade this research attempt to identify and measure the criteria and indicators of quality evaluation for the faculty of Art and Architecture of Roudehen Branch of Islamic Azad University. Review the approaches and theories related to the concept of quality to achieve the criteria and indicators that can interact with the existing structure of the educational system architecture are cases that have investigated in this paper. Based on a review of research also formed and Inspired by categories such as documents and issues affecting research including development plans and structures are affecting the education system architecture have been analyzed in this section in order to achieve a comprehensive model in the study. Faculty of Arts and Architecture as the largest training center for art and architecture in East of Tehran needs to serious attention based on a developmental process. on the other hand, Higher education quality, consistent input, process, output and outcome standards to improve the system of higher education activities with regard to the mission, goals and expectations defined and developed higher education systems. Universities are evaluated has reached its goals, mission to fulfill and respond to the expectations. The aim of this research was about the investigation of Priorities and Strategies for the Quality of Architectural Education in faculty of art and architecture, Islamic Azad University- Roudehen branch. According to growth of the faculty and in order to achieve to the great goal of Islamic Azad University for Qualitative Education, study and research to forming the indicators of quality of education and the structure of architectural training for checking the priorities and strategies. The purpose of this research is applicable and the collected data is descriptive. Because this study was to review the current situation is concerned, in the field of research is descriptive and because it is the people's opinions through a questionnaire survey. The resulting model to determine the variables affecting the quality and impact of the research in general will apply in different schools So that after the evaluation model and the representation of the findings to provide priority and payment solutions. In order to collect the required data, the questionnaire was designed criteria and indicators were extracted from the literature. The questionnaire contains 90 questions, and item was based on the Likert scale. Research variables formed from researches and based on that designed the questionnaire for lecturers. The statistical universe size and the sample size (N=72,S=60) calculated. Validity and reliability assessed with Convergent Validity, Divergent Validity, and Composite Reliability and in all factors obtained appropriate results. Among 26 Hypothesizes, 19 Hypothesizes confirmed. Finally, 10 Priorities identified and the strategies presented. 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
