树莓派硬件在创客编程教育中的公平价值

The Equity of Raspberry Pi in Maker and Coder Education

教育公平视角下,数字设备的硬件费用门槛是创客编程教育推广所不得不面对的现实问题。传统硬件设备往往成本昂贵,显化了城乡数字教育资源分布不均的突出问题,而树莓派作为一种价格低廉、小巧便携、功能多样、开放互动的微型计算设备,具有弥合创客编程教育领域数字设备鸿沟的潜力。文章以树莓派硬件和功能特点为切入,结合其在世界范围内的前沿应用,引入以树莓派为核心教学手段的创新实例,结合易于操作、拓展性强等潜力,讨论低成本硬件对赋能促进创客编程教育高质量普及化发展的价值。

From the perspective of educational equity,high costs associated with expensive computing hardware critically challenges maker and coder education.Conventional computing devices exacerbate the adverse effects of unequal digital device distribution.In this regard,“Raspberry Pi”offers a low-cost,ultra-portable,multi-functional,and open-source computing option that has the potential to bridge the digital divide.This study hinges on the unique functional hardware capabilities of Raspberry Pi and discusses its new applications in education with taking an example of an instructional case study of its conveniences,versatility,inter-disciplinary potentials to promote quality for maker and coder education.
