DESIGN STUDENT ROLES

Design Studio Peer Learning Role Scale (DPLRS)
by Onur Yılmaz, Koray Gelmez & João Batalheiro Ferreira
About the study: This tool is designed for students in studio-based design schools and programmes (e.g., industrial design, architecture, visual communication). You will answer short statements about your learning process in studio courses. At the end, you will see your role profile visualised on radar charts, together with a Design Studio Roles Card, learning approaches, and a self-perceived success score. All scores are reported as mean values on a 1–5 scale.
Please rate how much you agree with each statement about your learning in design studio courses.
1 = Strongly disagree  •  2 = Disagree  •  3 = Neither agree nor disagree  •  4 = Agree  •  5 = Strongly agree
