It seems that participation students for a design goal, in addition to promoting design ability, they learn creativity and social interaction. The goal is explaining the collaborative education model in architecture design studios for novice students. The qualitative research strategy and the action research method are selected. The research cycle includes five steps, recognition and detection, explain the proposed model, application of the model, research findings and observing the feedback of the model, and explain the model of collaborative education in the architectural basic design studio3. For data collection, documents and observation have been used. The final model has been explained in the social constructivist and collaboration education with general and flexible goals in the four categories of collaborative brainstorm, group discussion, jigsaw methods and assessment. Learning is assessed in three stages, pre-test, intermediate test, and Final exam.In the creativity test, in the pre-test, 10% of the students and in the intermediate test,86% of the students created a thought-provoking space.
