| Yhteenveto: | The broad discipline areas that are the focus of the Studio Teaching Project encompass a wide range of studio settings from artists with easels and potting wheels, to architects with drawing tables and, increasingly, laptops, to graphic designers in computer laboratories. Whatever the discipline and whatever the setting, the essences of the studio are seen to include creative and reflective thinking, a focus on integrative design in the context of a project, and an opportunity to absorb the culture of one's chosen area of endeavour. The focus of the Studio Teaching Project is the identification, description and investigation of the circumstances and characteristics of studio teaching models in the discipline areas of Art, Architecture and Design. A further aim is to uncover effective studio practice in each of these disciplines to inform curriculum development, future practice, and professional development for studio teachers, and to help shape university policy with regard to appropriate resourcing. In addition to an extensive review of literature on studio teaching, there were three main sources of primary data for the project: (i) workshops and papers associated with three National Forums on Studio Teaching (2007, 2008 and 2009), each of which attracted in excess of 80 participants; (ii) an online survey of Australian academics (2008) that included 352 respondents who reported in detail on 301 specific studio projects/classes; and (iii) a 2008-2009 survey of heads of 28 schools or departments from 19 Australian universities with Art, Architecture or Design degree programs.
