Abstract

One of the fundamental and constructive features of human beings is creativity which plays an important role in the growth and development of human beings and human civilization. Researchers believe that creativity training is effective in enhancing it. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of teaching metacognitive components of creativity in hands-free design training workshops in architectural engineering. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of educational systems on students' creativity. The statistical population consisted of all first semester students of Architecture of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Branch. The samples were selected through cluster sampling which included 80 students of Islamic Azad University West Tehran Branch. The Torrance Creativity Questionnaire was an optional three-part questionnaire comprising four components of fluidity, ingenuity, flexibility and expansion. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using correlation coefficient and independent groups t-test. The results suggest that the hands-on teaching method of hands-on design has an effect on increasing the creativity of undergraduate students. The amount of ingenuity, fluidity, elasticity, and flexibility among students who participated in this method was higher than those in the usual teaching method. They were also more creative. In addition, it was found that in both teaching methods, there was a significant positive relationship between the four components of creativity with the amount of creativity that each promoted creativity.

Abstract

Innopolis Daedeok is a beacon of scientific excellence and technological innovation, serving as the nerve center of South Korea's research endeavors. By leveraging the presence of esteemed research institutions and universities, this hub has created a fertile ground for commercializing cutting-edge technologies. The research methodology employed is descriptive-analytical and developmental in nature. The findings indicate that Innopolis Daedeok is strategically divided into five distinct regions, spanning 27.7 square kilometers, to achieve its operational objectives. Notably, 11% of South Korea's Ph.D.-level researchers are affiliated with Innopolis Daedeok. Currently, a workforce of 22,000 researchers and employees is engaged in advanced research, with 10% of the country's research workforce concentrated in this hub. The spatial expansion of Innopolis Daedeok has unfolded in four stages: the establishment of the Daedeok Science Town (1973-1993), the creation of innovation (1993-1997), the formation of an innovation cluster (1998-2003), and the growth stage of the innovation cluster (2004 to present). This evolution has enabled Innopolis Daedeok to become a global innovation hub, with a unique triple helix model of government, industry, and academia collaboration. The development and evolution model of Innopolis Daedeok is characterized by three distinct stages: the initial stage (science park model), the development stage (technopolis model), and the maturity stage (innovation cluster model). This model serves as a benchmark for other innovation hubs, highlighting the importance of strategic planning, collaboration, and investment in research and development.

Abstract

In recent decades, one of the main challenges in regional development studies is trying to understand the economic and cultural differences between the national and regional levels, so that the obstacles facing regional development can be removed.  One of the systems that plays an important role in the development of regions is the regional innovation system. For this purpose, the aim of the current research is to identify the key drivers effective on regional innovation in the metropolis of Tabriz. In this regard, the current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature. In order to collect the required information, both library and field methods have been used. The statistical population of the research includes 32 qualified people in the industry, university and government sectors who were selected by purposeful sampling. Mic Mac software was also used for data analysis. The findings of the research show that out of a total of 71 influential factors, 13 factors include the appropriate culture of productivity, laws and regulations, the existence of a teamwork culture between activists and established industrial units, information and communication technology infrastructure, sufficient funding for university research infrastructure, and higher education. patent programs, higher education policy, performance evaluation and reward system, financial support, special and flexible tax system for research and development, the existence of joint research centers between universities and industry and the level of interaction and cooperation between universities and industry, a key role in innovation They have an area of Tabriz metropolis.
