A flowchart illustrating the research design overview for a study. The flowchart begins with an introduction that frames the pedagogical problem. This leads to the methodology, which involves structuring the inquiry around eight arenas, generating student accounts from the AD4 studio, and making sense of the data through reflexive thematic analysis. The process is divided into three phases: framing, inquiring, and interpreting. The conceptual framework constructs the analytical lens of meaning-making, divided into contextual, cognitive, and reflective layers. Each layer addresses specific domains such as studio identity, peer critique, tutor's role, informal learning environments, project timeline, research and inquiry skills, theoretical readings, and problems, gains, and proposals. The findings are presented by initial and sub-themes derived from student accounts.Research design overview. Source(s): Author’s own work
