Background and Objective:Many cognitive psychologists put emphasis on an integrative view of cognitive and affective faculties of the mind. In the course of theoretical developments in the above area, theorizing on the concept of "emotional intelligence" is considerable. The concept of emotional intelligence explains how people are different in perceiving, processing, and using emotional information in the process of cognition and thinking. Studies show that those differences are strong predictors of the individuals’ success in their education, profession, and even their lives, architectural student is no exception. Many studies have reported the significant impact of emotional intelligence on important life outcomes, including mental and physical health, work performance, academic achievement, and social relationships. However, many emotional intelligence skills are learnable and can be improved through training and practice. But the problem is that due to the traditional emphasis of schools and universities on mere scientific education, general and specialized courses taken in formal education courses in various disciplines, including architecture, usually do not consider this type of ability. Methods: The present study- with a descriptive-analytical approach and using logical reasoning method, explores the role of emotional intelligence in developing an effective architectural education, particularly at the design studio context. In this regard, a study was conducted on how emotional intelligence influences the students’ design thinking, as well as those properties that affect the process of learning, such as adaptability, engagement, and motivation. Findings:Given the possibility of nurturing the emotional intelligence, maintained by the research findings, teaching tactics can be developed to enhance emotional intelligence of design students as an effective way to integrate cognitive and affective aspects in the course of design studio instruction. Conclusion:By prioritizing the important role of emotional intelligence in the effectiveness of design education, we can emphasize the entry of such programs in this field. It seems that if an intervention program is prepared based on strong theoretical foundations and implemented by professors who are themselves at a high emotional level; improving the emotional intelligence of architecture students and consequently their learning and further success in the profession can be expected. It is clear that the development of an intervention program that responds to the emotional requirements of the field of architectural design education, the development of its exercises based on theoretical foundations and valid experimental findings, as well as providing opportunities to practice emotional skills during workshop activities, requires extensive research. But in this case, based on what was stated in the present article, it can be claimed that the approach based on the ability of emotional intelligence, provides a good potential to set the framework of this program. In order to implement and adapt the program as much as possible to the emotional needs of the design workshop, the program can be based on the main emotions experienced in the workshop, the identification of which also requires future research, and the program can be implemented in basic workshops

Background and Objective:Architecture is a science in which aesthetics and sensory experiences are very important and creative action is a way of thinking and understanding. The use of combination education in basic courses is very important and combination education is very important in successfully achieving educational goals. By using efficient teaching methods and scientific methods, abandoning traditional methods, challenging students' minds, applying the element of creativity at all levels of teaching and creating active and dynamic classrooms that ensure sustainable learning in students, the desired situation can be achieved. Education in architecture uses visual methods in teaching and design process. The methods of teaching basic architecture courses should be such that they develop personal feelings and gain the confidence of new students, so proper training in the studios of basic courses is of special importance to improve the skills of new students. The proper education in basic courses is very important in improving the skills of novices. The purpose of this qualitative study is to assess the pathology of architecture education in the basic courses and provide some ways to improve the skills of the novices. Methods: So, through interview with university professors and graduates of architecture and evaluating the practices of students in basic courses, the concepts related to architecture training in basic courses extracted. Then, by using the SWOT analysis, the opportunities and threats for teaching the basic courses have been identified and accordingly the solutions suggested for the dynamic education of architecture. Findings: The results of this study indicated that using the combination education of basic courses, preparation of a joint lesson plan, emphasis on individual and group exercises, with an emphasis on promoting motivation, emotional intelligence and creativity of the novice students of architecture, a dynamic education can be achieved. Conclusion: Miscellaneous training and tasteful choice of type of prerequisites exercises for design courses in some studios, lack of coordination between teachers in choosing the type of exercises and the lack of a reliable relationship between the courses cause confusion, reduced skills and abilities of new students; and as a result, their academic motivation decreases. Therefore, the need for methods to create academic motivation and increase creativity and emotional intelligence in students is essential. Accordingly, teaching prerequisite design courses with an appropriate teaching method, including the combined studio method (simultaneous and combined teaching of basic courses) promotes students' creativity, increases their academic motivation and emotional intelligence, which can be dynamic and purposeful education, according to which the quality of education is improved, and this requires the organization of methods of taste of the professors of this field that are used during the correction process. When novice architects have high motivation, creativity and emotional intelligence, they will be more able to find unique design answers, and as a result, by choosing a suitable concept, they will determine their design path and achieve an acceptable design.

Background and Objectives: Emotional intelligence is a set of social and emotional abilities that help a person solve everyday problems and interact with others. Although general IQ is relatively constant, emotional intelligence can be created and taught, and organizations and companies can test and teach emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to control the feelings and emotions of oneself and others, to distinguish these feelings and to direct personal behavior and thinking based on this information. Research on emotional intelligence has shown that emotional intelligence is an effective and determining factor in real life outcomes such as success in school and education, success in work and interpersonal relationships, and overall health function. Emotional intelligence is positively correlated with mental health and negatively correlated with mental disorders. In addition, various studies have shown impairment in emotion regulation and emotional intelligence in some disorders such as borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, schizophrenia, depression and anxiety disorders. In fact, the relationship between emotional intelligence, which is measured by the Transcendental Traits Scale, with variables such as depression, anxiety, and general mental and physical health in adults has been confirmed. The present study determines the relationship between emotional intelligence and its components and anxiety symptoms among country Olympiad students in educational year 2004-2005. Method and Materials: The study used a descriptive- survey research design. The population included 380 Olympiad male students from middle schools in Iran in educational year 1393-94. 181 students were selected based on Morgan table. The instruments included: Scale (TMMS) which is an objective self-report questionnaire based on emotional intelligence model and made by Salovey et al to assess three components of emotional intelligence; and Beck Anxiety scale (BAI) with 21 items and made to assess anxiety level. The method of data analysis in this study was correlation coefficient, one - way variance analysis and regression. Findings: The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and its components and anxiety symptoms among Olympiad Students. In addition there was no relationship between the component caring for the feelings and anxiety symptoms. The component feelings clarity also correlated significantly with anxiety symptoms. Finally, there was no significant correlation between the component feelings renewal and anxiety symptoms. Conclusion: According to the results, there is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety and this variable predicts anxiety negatively. This means that students with high emotional intelligence are far less likely to be anxious. In addition, the explanation in this regard is that emotional intelligence with two important domains of mood, namely positive emotion (feeling happy, eager and interested, etc.) and negative emotion (anxiety, feelings of hostility and dissatisfaction, and ...) is also relevant. People with negative moods tend to experience emotional stability due to the stability of such situations, which may make it difficult to truly understand what is being felt. While positive-tempered people are more likely to be optimistic about their abilities; therefore, they evaluate themselves positively in terms of emotional ability, and people who are able to recognize, control, and use these emotional abilities will enjoy greater social support and a sense of mental health satisfaction. The above findings, which are the result of the anxiety component related to emotional intelligence, have been observed in fewer studies, and in this regard, the present study can be the source of serious challenges in such research.

Abstract: Cognition about Mental and psychological factors، influencing the architectural design، is one of the most important indicator of architectural education. This study examined the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and architectural design skills in architecture students of Deylaman Institute of Higher Education .65 architecture students were selected from the University of Deylaman by Simple Random Sampling method. The Emotional intelligence of each student was measured by the Brad berry and Greaves (2004) test. Scores of design 2 and GPA OF students was interpreted as indicators of progress in architectural design and academic achievement. Data analysis was carried out by Descriptive and Inferential Statistics methods containing Correlation Analysis، Independent Samples Test and One-Sample T-Test and utilizing SPSS software. In conclusion we found that there is no significant relationship between emotional intelligence and both academic achievement and scores of design2 of students. Furthermore The findings also showed emotional intelligence of both gender (male and female) is not different significantly. Research results indicate no significant difference between emotional intelligence and academic achievement of students of architecture and architectural design skills. The findings also showed that emotional intelligence is no significant difference in male and female students of architecture Considering The impact of emotional intelligence in professional success and lack of significant relationship between EQ and architectural skills، architecture faculties should enhance EI of architecture students by necessary training courses.
