赋能工程教育的创客空间构造——基于美国佐治亚理工学院的案例研究

To Energize an Engineer Education Centered Maker Space:Based on the Study of Georgia Institute of Technology

随着创客运动在全球范围的兴起,美国多所大学相继创建了以促进个体创造力、技术整合能力、智能硬件开发能力为主要目的创客空间。创客空间的出现为个体创造力的表达与泛在交互学习情境之间的有机融合创设了可能。理想模式下的创客空间倡导以学生创客群体之间的自由探索与交流为核心,强调每个个体的参与感与获得感。创客空间所塑造的文化氛围不仅是激发学生探索解决现实世界问题的某种方案或成品,更重要的是以自由、自主、自为的学习来达成对世界何以构成、造物的本真目的等终极问题做出解答。美国大学的创客空间已经发展成为所有热爱创造的个体之间表达、交流、探索、创作、分享的场所,它不仅是一个学习知识的所在,更成为以交互活动培养创造性群体的所在。

With the rising of maker movement,many U.S universities have constructed maker education which focus on the creative,technology integration,and smart hardware development ability.The emergence of maker education creates possibilities of integration between personal expression and social context.In the ideal mode,the maker space advocates the core of free exploration and communication among student maker groups and emphasizes the individual’s sense of participation and acquisition.The cultural atmosphere created by the maker space is not only a solution or finished product that stimulates students to explore and solve real-world problems,but more importantly,it utilizes free,autonomous,and self-directed learning to achieve the true purpose of the world and find answersof the ultimate questions.The makerspace of American universities has developed into a place for expression,communication,exploration,creation,and sharing among all individuals who love creation.It is not only a place to learn knowledge,but also to cultivate creative groups through interactive activities.
