چکیده مقاله :

The impact of the connection between education duration and course presentation method on the learning rate of graduates has always been a debatable issue within an integrated holism or as separate and parallel components. One concrete experience can be seen in the transformation process of the architecture education system since 1999 by changing the degree from a contiguous master's to a bachelor's degree. In the new system, course dispersion and lack of coordination of professors have led to inconsistency in the architecture education process reducing the individual skills and creativity of graduates. The mentioned problems have led to more inefficient architects rather than graduates or previous courses. The main question of this study is which one of the architecture education systems has had more influence on the creativity of graduates. This mixed research aims to examine the effect of two long-term (contiguous master's degrees) and short-term (bachelor's degrees) on the creativity of architecture graduates. The quantitative data were collected through a Creativity questionnaire by Abedi. For this purpose, 30 graduates of architecture contiguous master's degree (MSc) and 30 graduates of bachelor's degree (BA) from the Azad University of Tabriz filled out these questionnaires. The results indicate that long-term architecture education in the mixed method is a dynamic and targeted education since it improves creativity of architects.
