Article Reflection on Designing: Metacognitive Interventions to Enhance Metacognitive Awareness, Motivation, and Performance in Design Learning(Springer, 2025) Yazici, Gizem; Dogan, FehmiDesign education involves ill-defined problem-solving that demands both creativity and self-regulation. While metacognitive awareness significantly enhances learning outcomes and motivation, there is limited empirical evidence on how to systematically foster this skill in design studios. This study aims to investigate whether metacognitive interventions increase architecture students' metacognitive awareness levels, academic goal orientations, and design course success. In a quasi-experimental design, 84 third-year architecture students were divided into experimental (n = 58) and control (n = 26) groups. Pre-post-test data were collected using the MAI and AGOQ scales. Three structured interventions were implemented in the experimental group over six weeks. In the students who received the interventions, significant increases were observed in metacognitive awareness, mastery-performance goal orientation, and design course grades. In students with high awareness, mastery orientation, metacognitive awareness, and design course grades increased significantly, while in students with low awareness, metacognitive awareness and performance orientation increased. Pretest MAI and AGOQ scores accounted for 72.8% of the variance in grades, with MAI showing the strongest positive influence. Learning and proving orientations were moderately and positively correlated to grades, while avoidance orientation showed a moderate negative correlation. Metacognitive interventions enhance learning outcomes in design education by supporting metacognition and motivation.Article Citation - WoS: 96Citation - Scopus: 112Cognitive Strategies of Analogical Reasoning in Design: Differences Between Expert and Novice Designers(Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Özkan, Özgü; Doğan, FehmiThis study investigates differences in analogical reasoning among first, second, and fourth year students and expert architects. Participants took part in an experiment consisting of four tasks: rating source examples, selecting a source domain, explaining their selection, and designing a bus stop. The results indicate significant differences among participants with respect to their soundness ratings. The results also show significant relation between level of expertise and participants' selection of source categories, the stated reasons for their selection, and the type of similarity they established between source and target. We conclude that experts preferred ‘mental hops’ while first year students preferred ‘mental leaps.’ Second and fourth year students preferred neither ‘mental leaps’ nor ‘mental hops’ but to literally copy the sources.
