| Sumario: |
Makerspaces are collaborative workspaces where
people construct their ideas using a variety of ma terials and tools ranging from no tech to high tech,
where components can be moulded and transformed
into different projects depending on each maker’s vi sion. Educational makerspaces allow educators to
respond to the diverse interests of individual learners.
This paper documents the learning of participants at
an educational makerspace founded on construction ist principles. We analyse the characteristics of the
Maker Movement and the features of an educational
makerspace, identify learning dimensions, select a
case, analyse field notes, photos and videos using
an interpretivist paradigm and refine the practical
framework guiding the facilitation of the case study
discussed. Given that the investigators are also the
facilitators of the activities, this framework allows an
a posteriori analysis of the practices used to make
learning visible.
