Cognitive styles and student progression in architectural design education
نویسنده
چکیده
Individuals can be classified in terms of having a particular cognitive style or preference in the way in which they perceive or process information. This paper investigates how students with particular cognitive styles, as measured by Riding’s Cognitive Styles Analysis, perform in design project work at particular stages of Architectural Education. It suggests that contrary to assumptions found in the literature, those with a preference for thinking in a holistic, global manner, perform less well than their peers in the early stages of their education, but tend to improve as they progress through their education. 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملDesign of adaptive hypermedia learning systems: A cognitive style approach
In the past decade, a number of adaptive hypermedia learning systems have been developed. However, most of these systems tailor presentation content and navigational support solely according to students’ prior knowledge.
