معیارهای گزینش دستیاران تدریس و مدرسان مدعو معماری؛ نمونه‌ی موردی: دانشگاه حکیم سبزواری

با افزایش پذیرش دانشجو در رشته‌ی معماری نسبت به گذشته، استادان معماری برای پیش‌برد کارگاه طراحی نیازمند کمک دستیارانی هستند که غالباً از میان مدرسان مدعو انتخاب می‌شوند. ظاهراً برای انتخاب این دستیاران محدودیت‌ها و معیارهای روشنی وجود ندارد و استادان صرفاً با نظر شخصی و تجربی و با شناخت قبلی خود دستیار انتخاب می‌کنند. از سوی دیگر، برخی دانش‌آموختگان جدید معماری نیز به‌دلیل کمبود کار در بازار حرفه‌ای، بدون میل و استعداد شخصی، متقاضی دستیاری هستند. گاهی بی‌توجهی یا اشتباه استادان در انتخاب یک دستیار مناسب، موجب نارضایتی دانشجویان کارشناسی معماری می‌شود. از این رو، سعی شده به معیار‌های گزینش دستیار تدریس و مدرسان مدعو در دانشکده‌ی معماری دانشگاه حکیم سبزواری پرداخته شود. روش تحقیق این مقاله ترکیبی است و در دو بخش مطالعات کتابخانه‌ای و زمینه‌ای، از طریق مصاحبه و پرسشنامه انجام شده است. از طریق مصاحبه با استادان و پرسش از دانشجویان دوره‌ی کارشناسی، و در ادامه، با مقایسه، تحلیل و تطبیق نظرها، چند معیار روشن بدست آمد و اولویت‌بندی شد. هدف از تحقیق حاضر آن است که از طریق استخراج معیارهای برجسته‌ی مورد قبول استادان و دانشجویان معماری، تعریفی عملیاتی برای گزینش دستیاران استاد ارائه دهد تا استادان علاقه‌مند بتوانند انتخاب‌های شخصی و تجربی خود را با نتایج حاصل از این پژوهش ارزیابی نمایند و خطای کمتری داشته باشند.

the criteria for selecting architecture teaching assistants and visiting instructors; case study: hakim sabzevari university

background and objectives: in most architecture schools in the country, having teaching assistants alongside qualified professors is essential due to various reasons, including the sudden increase of architecture students in the last decade and the lack of experienced professors, and the need to train architecture instructors for the bright educational future of this field. in addition, the universities that do not use such assistants for any reason will face the sudden aging and retirement of their professors in the future. for this reason, it is important to hire teaching assistants to solve the shortage of professors regarding the increase of architecture students and train teachers for their educational future. however, on the other hand, the professors of architecture or architecture schools do not apply any criteria for selecting assistants. the vagueness of the appropriate criteria for selecting teaching assistants and visiting instructors has sometimes led to the selection of people who do not have the necessary qualifications and interest in educating architecture students. on the other hand, people who are good at being teaching assistants have a lower chance of being selected for the position due to the high volume of applicants. this might also lead them to give up their application. therefore, the article’s authors aim to find the criteria for better selection of teaching assistants and ask, “what are the appropriate criteria for selecting teaching assistants and visiting instructors with inadequate experience to help the main professors in teaching architectural design workshops?” the research results can be useful and generalizable for other architecture schools by changing the research parameters.methods: the research uses the “contextual” research method, and it was conducted through interviews and questionnaires. bibliographic studies have also contributed to conducting the research. two groups were allocated for data collection. the first group was comprised of professors, and the second group was comprised of students. this research was carried out by interviewing the faculty members of hakim sabzevari university, khayyam university of mashhad, and hakim nizami university of qochan (choosing multiple universities in khorasan was necessary to increase the internal validity of the research. in addition, several universities were requested to cooperate. these two universities agreed to cooperate with the researchers) and a questionnaire was compiled for architecture students at these universities. in fact, this research was concerned with the selection criteria of assistants from the perspective of these two groups, that is, the main professors (and the assistants above) and the architecture students (and the assistants below).
