这篇完整的研究论文提出了一项研究，以确定学生参与学术创客空间与以 GPA 衡量的学业成绩之间的相关性。大学创客空间是开放式环境，旨在通过为学生提供各种通常专注于快速原型制作的机器和工具来鼓励创造性合作和创新探索。为了了解这些空间在学术界的好处，已经有几项关于它们的建立和促进的研究；然而，缺乏关于学生参与以及创客空间使用对学生发展的影响的数据驱动研究。本文提出了一项调查的初步结果，以显示参与学术创客空间对 GPA 的影响。通过测量机械工程课程不同阶段的学生群体，可以在创客空间的参与程度和 GPA 之间建立相关性。结果表明，无论是出于选择还是出于课程要求，使用该空间进行建造和创造的学生的专业平均 GPA 高于不使用该空间的学生。这些发现以及更多的发现鼓励通过定量和定性方法进一步探索创客空间的影响。
This Full Research paper presents a study to determine the correlations between student involvement in an academic makerspace and academic achievement as measured by GPA. University makerspaces are open environments designed to encourage creative collaborations and innovative exploration by providing students access to a variety of machines and tools typically focused on rapid prototyping. In aneffort to understand the benefits these spaces in academia, there have been several studies on their founding and facilitation; however, there is a lack of data-driven studies of student involvement and the impact of makerspace use on student development.This paper presents preliminary results from an investigation to so show the impact of involvement in an academic makerspace on GPA. By measuring cohorts of students at different stages in the mechanical engineering curriculum, correlations are made between the level ofinvolvement in makerspaces and GPA. The results indicate that students who use the space to build and create, either by choice or for a course requirement, have been shown to have a higher average in-major GPA thanstudents who do not use the space. These findings and more encourage the further exploration of the impact of makerspaces through both quantitative and qualitative methods.
