This study is proposed within the framework of the “Designtrain” project.* First year architecture students have difficulties to adapt to the new language of architectural discourse because of their individual capabilities and adequacies or because of the departments’ methodology of teaching. This study, which has been based on ten architecture departments in Turkey, has been formed to reveal these difficulties from the students’ point of view by means of a survey. This survey consists of interpretative questions that are related to the pre-requisites of vocational education, difficulties in learning, the evaluation of students’ comprehension of basic design principles and various difficulties of educational process.
