Abstract
The studio represents a learning space most frequently used within creative disciplines and the role of the instructor in the studio class is very much different compared to other traditional classroom models. Often considered informal and unstructured, studio setting imposes a greater responsibility on the instructor to develop appropriate teaching techniques and engage in frequent self-assessment in order to enhance students’ learning experience. Through qualitative research techniques and visual dissemination of the findings, this study uncovers and presents successful studio-based teaching methodologies. The findings are derived from the data collected through qualitative interviews with ten instructors recognized for their excellence in teaching. They emphasize the value of the instructor’s ability to give effective feedback, establish a relaxed and nurturing setting, and build positive relationships with their students and are within a collaborative, project-based learning environment.
