Abstract

Self-motivated strategies, as one of the main components affecting learning, can be affected by cognitive knowledge and information processing style. The aim of the current research was to compile a model of learning Self-motivated in design workshop based on cognitive knowledge and information processing style with the role of mediator of attitude towards architecture. The current research sought to answer the main question of how to predict Self-motivated in design learning based on cognitive knowledge and information processing style with the mediating role of students' attitude towards architecture in the design workshop. This research is of correlational type in the form of structural equation model. The statistical population of this research included all architecture students of Kermanshah universities in the academic year of 1402-1401. 486 students were selected as a sample in a purposeful and available manner according to the research plan. Data collection was done with the help of questionnaires of learning spontaneity, cognitive ability, cognitive processing style and attitude questionnaire towards the field of architecture. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results of the findings showed that the model of the relationship between information processing styles and cognitive knowledge with Self-motivated learning and the mediation of attitude towards the field of study has a good fit, and information processing styles and cognitive knowledge can predict spontaneity in learning. Also, the results showed that the experimental style of information processing has a negative and significant relationship with the attitude towards the field of study.
