چکیده مقاله :
As a first lesson of architectural design, among the basic courses, the Architectural Basic Design is very important. Strengthening the power of visualization, imagination and thinking ability of students, understanding the structural elements of the building, dealing with the physical areas, is the purpose of the Architectural Basic Design. The purpose of the study is trying to depict the effect of studio teaching methods (Integrated and disintegrated teaching of required courses), on the architecture students motivation and creativity. The following methods were quantitative. For this purpose, the exercises of the Architectural Basic Design, for students in their second semester by two methods of combination (simultaneous teaching of basic courses under a single program) and disintegration (Independent teaching of basic courses) has been considered. The test has been carried out by two groups of students in each of the above studio education systems. The Valrand motivation questionnaire and Abedi creativity questionnaire are used for the measurement of motivation and creativity. As a result, teaching Architectural Basic Design alongside other required parallel courses, increases intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and reduces their lack of motivation. With increasing motivation, novice learners will have the ability to create new ideas and will be able to expand it due to their abilities and this means that the creativity has increased. As a result, integrated education of basic courses is more dynamic education due to the increased motivation and creativity of the students.
