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? In sixth-week and thirteenth-week surveys, 95% (N:18) and 96% (N:24) of students respectively felt the used GenAI models positively affected their creativity during the design process. → Leman Figen Gül 2025

q2 · i? · design · r2

Semi-structured surveys in the third semester (Case-III) with third-year architecture students, using a 5-point Likert scale. The article reports "95% of all students (N:18)" in week six and "96% of all students (N:24)" in week thirteen felt GenAI positively affected their creativity; no effect size is printed.

"Overall, the majority of students (95% of all students (N:18) in sixth week (e.g. Survey I, Figure 1) and 96% of all students (N:24) in thirteenth week (e.g. Survey II, Figure 1) feel that the used GenAI models positively affect their creativity during the design process"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Creativity — outcome: instruction changes it

A bespoke GenAI image workflow most robustly expanded architecture students' creative search space, while less uniformly supporting refinement of final design decisions — related
After workshops, students' active GenAI use concentrated in uncertain design phases and decreased or disappeared in more certain phases — related
Students remained cautious about relying on GenAI throughout the creative process, citing imperfect outputs and perceived loss of ownership — related
Functions metaphors framing GenAI as an efficient tool for routine and creative tasks were the most agreed-upon in the workshops — related
Only about a third of design students report reduced creativity or project ownership from GenAI use — reports the opposite
Prototype generation is the only GenAI activity significantly associated with perceived loss of creativity or ownership — reports the opposite
