Applying it to architectural education could be beneficial, as each personality type presents distinct strengths and challenges in academic settings. Architectural design studios emphasise creative problem-solving, with students approaching tasks differently based on their cultural background, academic knowledge and personality. This study investigated the relationship between Enneagram personality types and the performance of architectural students in a 14-week design studio. Using the RHETI method developed by Riso and Hudson, each student's personality type was identified and verified through interviews. The study examined students' semester performance and final design studio presentations. Results suggest that personality type can have a significant impact on overall performance in design studios. Understanding their personality type can help students manage their design projects more effectively. Additionally, instructors can use this insight to better understand student motivations and tailor their teaching strategies to support diverse learning styles. This research represents a novel exploration of how Enneagram personality types influence architectural education and suggests possible applications for enhancing both student performance and studio teaching approaches. While this study relied on expert validation to determine personality types, future applications may adapt self-report tools such as RHETI with appropriate instructor training. By highlighting personality-driven learning differences, the study offers exploratory insights into communication in the design studio. Given the small sample size and context-specific scope, the findings should be viewed as preliminary and indicative of directions for future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":45973,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Art & Design Education","volume":"45 3","pages":"754-768"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jade.70025","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147578409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilising data from 9074 middle school students in Hong Kong and Macao, sourced from the 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA 2022), the study employed structural equation modelling (SEM) to empirically investigate these relationships. Results indicate that artistic activities enhance adolescents' creative thinking through the mediating role of creative engagement, which involves active participation in knowledge creation, creative expression and creative problem-solving. The study confirms that knowledge creation, creative expression and creative problem-solving serve as core pathways through which creative engagement fosters creative thinking. Collective artistic activities, in particular, exhibit a pronounced effect on promoting creative thinking. Furthermore, gender differences observed from these pathways suggest potential biases embedded in socio-cultural and educational environments. These findings underscore the need to improve more diverse, inclusive and equitable opportunities for gender equity in arts education. Theoretically, the study extends existing theories of creativity development.

Building on Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of educational capital, habitus and field alongside Jozef Bochenski's theories of authority, the authors employed a quasi-experimental approach with 15 architecture students who completed design tasks in a MUVE while experiencing different forms of tutor-imparted educational capital—specifically written critiques and letter grades. Data collection through linkography, observations and retrospective interviews facilitated analysis of how authority manifests among students in this remediated environment. The findings reveal that MUVEs transform the studio's ‘field’, requiring students to adapt their established habitus while fostering new forms of educational capital tied to technical competence. Letter grades undergo devaluation in virtual environments, while written critiques gain prominence as indicators of epistemic skill. Praised students gained authority among peers and led design conversations with critical verbalisations (CVs), while in grading scenarios, low-graded students were marginalised in high-majority variants but not in low-majority conditions. The gamified nature of MUVEs creates a less formal learning atmosphere that encourages experimentation and peer interaction. These subtle transformations cumulatively impact design practise, influencing students’ decision-making processes, technical language and judgement. By examining the social implications of remediating the design studio, this research contributes to architectural pedagogy by providing insights into how virtual environments reshape not only the practical aspects of design education but also its foundational social dynamics that shape students' architectural identity.</p>","PeriodicalId":45973,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Art & Design Education","volume":"45 3","pages":"655-673"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146014310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
