Накратко на български

Дигиталната грамотност и творчеството при деца от 3 до 8 години се изследват чрез работа в „мейкърспейсове“ с 3D принтери и електроника. Това помага за развитието на умения по кодиране и дизайн, които са важни за бъдещото им обучение и работа.

MAKERSPACES IN THE EARLY YEARS: ENHANCING DIGITAL LITERACY AND CREATIVITY (MakEY)

It is important that young children have opportunities to foster their creativity and develop the kinds of creative skills that are important for future employment and learning, such as creative design, in a fast-changing, highly-technologise world. In this project, the digital literacy and creative skills of young children were developed through participation in creative activities in specially-designed spaces termed ‘makerspaces’. These are spaces that enable participants to create a range of artefacts using specialist tools and resources, such as electronics, laser cutters and 3D printers. The majority of research in this area has been conducted with children older than those who are the focus for our project, yet there is a need to enable young children (aged 3-8) to participate in such activities if they are to develop competences and dispositions that will inform their future study. If European children are to develop the skills and competences required for the kinds of employment and leisure practices they will face in the future, then this work is essential. The significance of the role of non-formal providers in the development of STEM skills and knowledge for society is well established and this project involved children in the development of related knowledge, including coding and digital design in non-formal learning spaces. The project had four key objectives, which were to: 1. Conduct a comprehensive review of the role of makerspaces in the formal and non-formal educational experiences of children and young people. 2. Undertake empirical research to determine how makerspaces can foster the digital literacy and creativity skills and knowledge of young children. 3. Develop a conceptual framework for analysing young children’s engagement in makerspaces. 4. Make recommendations for policy and practice that will foster innovation and entrepreneurship in SME makerspaces and facilitate the use of makerspaces for enhancing digital literacy in early childhood educational institutions and non-formal learning spaces such as libraries and museums.

Цел на проекта

This two-year project involves an international and inter-sector research and training network that focuses on the potential of makerspaces, which are specific spaces that enable creative design and the production of both digital and non-digital artefacts, to foster the digital literacy and creative skills of young children. A key aim of the project is to inform educational policy and practice in this area, enabling formal learning institutions (early years settings and primary schools) to learn from practice in non-formal learning spaces, and vice-versa, and also to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in the makerspace sector, enabling SMEs to develop robust business models and appropriate resources for future work in this area. The project involves 16 academic and non-academic beneficiaries and 10 non-academic, non-beneficiary partners across 6 EU countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Romania, UK), an Associated Country (Colombia) and 4 Third Countries (Australia, Canada, South Africa and USA). This global network of university scholars, cultural industry partners in makerspaces, early years practitioners, museum educators and librarians will engage in a collaborative research and training programme that addresses 4 objectives, which are to:1. Conduct a comprehensive review of the role of makerspaces in the formal and non-formal educational experiences of children and young people.2. Undertake empirical research to determine how makerspaces can foster the digital literacy and creativity skills and knowledge of young children.3. Develop a conceptual framework for analysing young children’s engagement in makerspaces.4. Make recommendations for policy and practice that will foster innovation and entrepreneurship in SME makerspaces and facilitate the use of makerspaces for enhancing digital literacy in early childhood educational institutions and non-formal learning spaces.
