Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Active GenAI usage was observed in more uncertain phases of the design (Problem Space) after the workshops, while it decreased or disappeared in more certain phases (Solution Space). → Leman Figen Gül 2025

q2 · i? · design · r2
Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with a focus group (N=6) in the third semester, comparing sixth-week (W6) and thirteenth-week (W13) coded design processes shown in Figure 7. The article reports the shift in usage across design phases; no effect size is printed.
"However, after the workshops in the studio process, active GenAI usage is observed in more uncertain phases of the design (e.g. Problem Space, Figure 7b). In contrast, the active usage of GenAI either decreased or disappeared in the more certain phases of the design process (e.g. Solution Space, Figure 7b)."

Related Claims¶
- How genAI is used, not who uses it, predicts whether independent performance declines or improves — related
- Most architecture students in the studios reported that the GenAI models used positively affected their creativity during the design process — related
- Student workshop participants saw AI's role as fluid — a shortcut for tasks with clear, predictable outcomes and a collaborator for uncertain, creative tasks — related
- Among GPT-assisted students, proactive and critical engagement patterns are associated with higher exam scores while limited engagement shows little benefit relative to control — related
