Goals
"The aims of this article are to (a) build an understanding of the maker movement in relation to formal education in programming; (b) demonstrate how makerspaces can be integrated into teaching practice and TE, and (c) analyze possibilities and challenges in the interface between the two different learning environments.
Research questions are:
- How can makerspaces and formal teacher education (TE) be transformed by each other?
- How can makerspaces be used in programming activities in TE?
- What challenges and possibilities emerge when informal makerspaces and formal educational settings meet?"
