Learning Styles and Tool Selection in Interior Design Education: A Comprehensive Review and Future Direction
摘要
Introduction/ Purpose—Interior Design students use various types of tools during their design development which aids them in many ways, including conceptualization, functional arrangement, visualization, etc. According to a number of researches, learning styles place students into several psychologically distinct groups. This study will look at the current understanding of tool selection based on the learning preferences of interior design students and investigate current research trends in this field to find areas for potential future research. Design/ Methodology/ Approach—In order to address the first research question, a scoping review was conducted, followed by a systematic literature review, which was then tracked by a bibliometric analysis to address the second research question. Findings—According to the literature review findings, learning styles and tool preferences are related. However, the conclusions cannot be generalized because of the small sample size and demand for in-depth research. Additionally, a number of studies have been done to classify interior design students according to their preferred learning styles. Bibliometric analyses demonstrate that research on particular keywords has increased since 2005 and showing steady growth. Practical Implications—The study has strong potential to support the upgradation of design process and computational tools to enhance learning outcomes.
