Study of Handi-Crafts theses in Art university based on approved regulations of Art university; Case Study: Graduate theses from September 2012 to September 2017

Studying the previous researches carried out in each area and extracting their weaknesses and strengths has a special impact in improving the quality of next researches in that area. The field of HandiCrafts, has a special importance in scientific researches due to its deep roots in the people's culture, and it is also at risk of research poverty due to its practical nature. The current study aimed at evaluating HandiCrafts master theses at Art University to extract their weaknesses and strengths, has reviewed intended theses based on the criteria obtained from the method approved by the University of Art in the field of master's thesis writing. The study based on its purpose is an applied type and the research method is qualitative-analysis. Descriptive statistical techniques and content analysis method have been used to analyze the data. The method of data collection is library and documention, and the tool used is the researcher-made questionnaire include structural features of a thesis includes title, research generalities, methodology, research background, data presentation method, analysis and conclusion, sources and references, basic features and appendices, which its reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and its validation confirmed by the relevant masters. The results of analysis of research data indicate that in general, the theses on the tendency of design and production toward the trend of traditional arts research have a higher quality, and the most important weaknesses of the theses are related to the generalities of research, data analysis and scientific outputs of theses.
