throughout their study. However, longitudinal design will not be employed in this study asit requires a very long duration of time.11. Significance of StudyThis study is significant in adding a new body of knowledge regarding students’perceptions on design for Architecture Design Studio in Malaysia context. Therefore, thefindings would provide a clear sense of design direction especially related to privacy,personal space, territories, and crowding issues for Architecture Design Studio in bothpublic and private colleges or universities. Designers will need some guideline to createpositive studio environment if students’ behaviour is greatly affected by the designcondition of studio setting.Designers require the knowledge of the way students perceive and use the design studiospace as the basis for right decisions throughout the design process. It is important, then,for designers to know, understand and apply the findings in creating valid and responsibledesign studio that able to support the exact functions for architectural studies. If this studyproves that students’ personality have significant effects on their perception on the designof Architecture Design Studio, then the understanding of this linkage in betweenpersonality and studio design will help designers in making conscious design decisions thatare more meaningful to users. In other words, designers are able to propose a well defineddesign studio for the users as a science based through well researched data and findings.Well designed design-studio will elevate the function of its environment in supportingvarious learning and teaching activities within the space for both the students andeducators. This study is therefore play a significant role in contributing design knowledgeand blue print both for improving existing design studio condition as well as for designinga new one.18
12. Research MethodThis study aims to investigate the correlation between architecture student personality andtheir perception toward the physical design of studio environment in fulfilling their privacyneed in architectural educational studies. It will explore the impact of studio’s spatialcharacteristics onto different students through the lenses of student personality profiletypes. Student bahaviour will be examined under environmental psychology perspectiverelated to the person-environment congruence, privacy, personal space, territories, andcrowding. Student perception of studio design is thus revealing those design features thatsatisfy their privacy needs to perform their design works proficiently.This study will utilize the mixed methods sequential explanatory design for the purpose ofdata collection. The mixed methods sequential explanatory approach mainly consists oftwo particular stages: quantitative followed by the qualitative phase (Tashakkori & Teddlie,1998; Creswell, 2003, 2005).Figure 3: The Mixed-Methods Sequential Explanatory DesignFirst Phase:Quantitative Data1. Surveys (Questionnaires)Second Phase:Qualitative Data1. Focus Group InterviewsResultsConclusion based onmixing both qualitative andquantitative dataThe mixed-methods sequential explanatory design consists of two distinct phases:Quantitative followed by qualitative.This design collects and analyzes the quantitative data at the very first stage. Quantitativedata in this stage is collected through questionnaires surveys. Data regarding students’personality profile types can be acquired by Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).Students’ privacy preference will employ Pedersen’s Six States of Privacy questionnaires.Both questionnaires will be analyzed using SPSS software for inferential statistic analysis.19
