项目摘要

Makerspaces have become increasingly popular in schools throughout the United States thanks to movements like MakerFaire and other grassroots efforts. However, finding space and staff for a Makerspace can be daunting for schools. The DEMAND project will address these barriers with standards-based kits containing Maker materials, detailed lesson plans, and assessment rubrics. The kits will be available to all elementary school teachers within the partner district and a lead teacher will be identified at each school. The goal of the DEMAND project is to build a community of teachers and students committed to integrating "Making", using a uniform pedagogy across the school district. The investigators plan to investigate 1)the efficacy of the kit-based approach to Making (vs. a dedicated Makerspace), 2) the benefits of learning with Maker activities compared to other activities, and 3) the role of Maker activities in learner agency and broadening participation in STEM. The objective is to produce a well-researched teacher professional development (PD) model for Maker activities. This project will encourage school-based cohorts to attend the PD sessions. The investigators will conduct case studies, comparing individual teachers in schools, and contexts, across the district. The project will explore a new model for engaging more teachers in learning about Making activities, thereby serving as a launching point to expose a wider range of students to Making in various contexts. Additionally, in order to understand learner agency within the Maker process and the affordances for students' problem-solving skills and self-efficacy, the investigators will analyze student and teacher discourse as they engage in Making activities.

由于MakerFaire等运动和其他基层组织的努力，创客空间在美国各地的学校越来越受欢迎。然而，为创客空间寻找空间和工作人员可能会让学校望而却步。DEMAND项目将通过包含Maker材料、详细的课程计划和评估规则的标准化工具包来解决这些障碍。这些工具包将提供给合作地区的所有小学教师，并将在每所学校指定一名首席教师。DEMAND项目的目标是建立一个致力于将"制作"、"创造"和"创造"相结合的教师和学生社区。在整个学区使用统一的教学法。研究人员计划调查1）基于套件的制作方法的功效（与专门的创客空间相比），2）与其他活动相比，与创客活动一起学习的好处，（3）创客活动在学习者代理和扩大STEM参与中的作用，目的是为创客活动提供一个经过充分研究的教师专业发展（PD）模型。这项计划将鼓励学校的同龄人参加PD课程。调查人员将进行个案研究，比较学校的个别教师和整个地区的背景。该计划将探索一个新的模式，让更多教师参与学习制作活动，从而让更多学生在不同的情境中接触制作。此外，为了了解制作过程中的学习者主体，以及学生解决问题的技能和自我效能的启示，调查者将分析学生和教师在参与制作活动时的话语。
