中小型公共图书馆青少年创客教育实践研究——以镇江市图书馆为例

Research on the Practice of Maker Education in Small and Medium-sized Public Libraries——Taking Zhenjiang Library for Instance

公共图书馆开展创客教育是顺应时代发展的理性选择,也是延伸服务边界、创新服务方式的积极尝试。镇江市图书馆的青少年创客教育实践项目以馆企合办为基础,注重资源整合和教育理论指导。但项目存在商业推广痕迹明显、教育深度和延续度不够等问题。基于此,应通过加强资源建设、引入师资力量、打造创客空间等优化策略,提升中小型公共图书馆创客教育实践效果,以期为我国中小型公共图书馆的创客教育实践提供指导和参考。

The practice of maker education in public libraries is a rational choice in keeping with the development of the times,and it is also a positive attempt for the public library to extend its service area and exploit new serving ways.Zhenjiang Library’s maker education project for young readers is based on cooperation with Zhenjiang Library and Yu Le World Education Technology Company,which attaches much importance to the integration of resources and guidance of education theory.However,there still exist in this project some problems like obvious signs of commercial promotion,insufficient depth and continuity of education etc.In view of this,this article proposes some optimization strategies such as strengthening construction of resources,introducing more teachers,and creating maker space which hopefully will provide guidance and reference for other small and medium-sized public libraries in China.
