Use of analytical network process (ANP) method as an evaluation tool in industrial design jury: An analysis and application on graduation studio course

The design studio is an open and collaborative educational environment where experiments are made to reveal creativity in industrial design education. Design studio courses differ from the classical education system in terms of teaching methods, communication style and problem types. Because the design process is a complex and multi-layered process, the evaluation of its components and results is similarly complex. Evaluation of the final product resulting from the studio course with a systematic method is important for both the student and the instructor. However, today, there are many problems such as the individual and subjective evaluation of the jury, the inability to clearly explain the evaluation criteria, the inability of the members of the jury to create a common evaluation system, and the failure to progress in healthy conditions. In this context, the main purpose of the study is to propose an impartial, transparent and questionable evaluation method and to bring together the criteria used in the evaluation phase in a comprehensive and systematic way. With the multi-criteria decision-making model established within the scope of the study, the weights of the evaluation criteria were obtained by the experts and as a result of the research, the weights of the criteria determined by the different judgments of different users were evaluated in a single judgment.
