“…The charter does not address creativity specifically and studies on design education (Rufinoni 2002) show the lack of application of pedagogical instruments to develop critical consciousness and ethical attitudes in students. Jeffries (2007) as well reaffirms the need for new teaching methods in the design-studio to increase creative thought.…”

The architectural design process is based on a creative phase where creativity is highly valued. Although the literature on creativity is rich in ways to stimulate the decision-making process, these tools are rarely formally present in the building design process. To further the discussion on creativity and design education this paper presents a study on methods that may enhance the creative process and their application in architecture courses around the world. The results of this inquiry indicate that design instructors apply methods that may stimulate creativity mostly informally, with some positive results. To explore more fully the richness of the literature on the enhancement of creativity, structured applications of methods are recommended in controlled experiments to analyze results.

“…The traditional studio model is, due to its nature and structure, an expensive and resourceintensive endeavor relative to other modes of education (Jeffries, 2007). As tools become more sophisticated and costly, while also proliferating in variety and sheer number, providing the physical tools and the technical knowledge to support such resources is likely to continue as a major challenge.…”

“…CAT is a well-established technique to appraise creativity in art and design tasks and was utilized in several studies previously (Jeffries 2007;Meneely and Portillo 2005;Christiaans 2002). In line with CAT, the judges were instructed to rate the creativity and the technical quality of the students' works relative to one another and to work independently.…”

This paper investigates the interactions between design students' cognitive styles, as measured by Riding's Cognitive Styles Analysis, and performance in 2D drafting and design tasks in digital media. An empirical research revealed that Imager students outperformed Verbalisers in both drafting and creativity scores. Wholist-Analytic cognitive style dimension was found to be independent from drafting and design performance. The study suggests that examining the cognitive styles of students in Computer Aided Design (CAD) education deserves further attention and may facilitate for improvements in learning processes. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media B.V
