Exploring relationship between learning styles and architectural design education (Systematic Review)

In most architectural design teaching methods, students are typically considered to be at the same level, and educational steps are presented in a uniform manner. However, this approach often overlooks the individual abilities and tendencies of students. Learning style refers to the personal approach learners have towards learning, problem-solving, and information processing. It provides a valuable framework for recognizing and addressing the differences among students in architectural design education. This research aims to systematically examine the studies on the relationship between learning styles and architectural design education. The study seeks to answer the following question: What are the different types of relationships between learning styles and architectural design education, based on existing research? Four categories of research purposes emerged from the reviewed articles: the impact of learning style on architecture design (product), the impact of learning style on architecture design (process), the benefits of different types of architecture education on various learning styles and preferences, and the impact of different types of architecture education on learning style. The methods and results of articles within these four categories were evaluated and analyzed.
