Developing (architectural) design knowledge: A learner-researcher study

Architectural Design Knowledge Modeling

We have presented an approach for automated knowledge modelling and re-use in design through the development of an algorithm that operates in conjunction with the machine learning technique. The approach presented has the advantage that such automated knowledge modelling system works in conjunction with the problem-solving process as the knowledge representation is in an embedded/distributed st...

Knowledge-based Collaborative Architectural Design

Knowledge Acquisition Through Case Study Development: A Student Researcher Perspective

Educators are increasingly incorporating the development of research case studies as a course assignment in graduate and executive degree courses. Each student (or student group) develops a research case study that provides theory-based explanation and discussion of how a real organization managed a business issue related to the course. In the process, the student gains a deeper understanding o...

EFL Teachers’ Conceptions of Learner Autonomy: Developing a Glocalized Model

Learner autonomy (henceforth LA) has become a buzz word in education in general and language education, in particular, for more than a decade now. Focusing on investigating Iranian EFL teachers’ conceptions of LA, the current study, taking a mixed method approach, attempted to illustrate how Iranian EFL teachers’ conceptions of leaner autonomy mapped out. To that end, 7 teachers, purposefully c...

Towards Reusing Architectural Knowledge as Design Guides

In recent years, architectural knowledge management has demonstrated its potential to improve software development and evolution practices; various tools and research prototypes now exist for documenting architectural knowledge. However, capturing such knowledge is not enough: according to practitioners’ feedback, a certain amount of knowledge postprocessing is required to make the captured kno...
