Exploring Possible Futures of Makerspaces as an Important Basic Component of K-12 Education
Pedagogies: An International Journal, v18 n3 p450-472 2023
This paper, based on the contributions of researchers in maker movement as one of the most important modern educational innovations in the last decade, explained the promising prospects of makerspace for K-12 Education, and identified what key direct drivers of change that should be considered when exploring possible futures of makerspaces as an important basic component of K-12 Education in terms of its three basic pillars. The paper also reinforced the argument that connected learning is the next stage in providing educational services. The "4-quadrant method" was adopted to develop four possible contrasting scenarios for the future of makerspaces in K-12 Education which will help educational policymakers, and educators to better envision the future of makerspace and making activities in K-12 Education.
