Lili Yan; Breanne K. Litts; Melissa Tehee; Stuart Baggaley; Jennifer Jenkins – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
Although education is framed as a future-oriented enterprise, we often fail to serve the diverse futurities of youth, particularly in formal learning environments. The cultural norms of formal learning environments are rooted in dominant ways of being and knowing and this shapes how learning environments and learning technologies can be designed.…

Fagerlund, Janne; Häkkinen, Päivi; Vesisenaho, Mikko; Viiri, Jouni – Informatics in Education, 2020
Computational thinking (CT) has been introduced in primary schools worldwide. However, rich classroom-based evidence and research on how to assess and support students' CT through programming are particularly scarce. This empirical study investigates 4th grade students' (N = 57) CT in a comparatively comprehensive and fine-grained manner by…

Thanapornsangsuth, Sawaros; Holbert, Nathan – Information and Learning Sciences, 2020
Purpose: Many initiatives seek to engage children in maker education. However, there is a paucity of research examining children's engagement in making in low-income formal school settings. Likewise, little work has been done to explore the transformative perspectives of both the children and the people around them. This study aims to explore a…

Vuopala, Essi; Guzmán Medrano, Diego; Aljabaly, Mariam; Hietavirta, Dora; Malacara, Lourdes; Pan, Chunxiao – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2020
This study investigated students' perspectives on working and studying within a maker culture context. Participants were fifth-grade students (n = 18) in a Finnish elementary school who worked on a fabrication project for five days. The data consisted of student questionnaires (n = 18), group presentations (n = 5) and the final fabrication…

Schnittka, Jessica; Schnittka, Christine – Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, 2016
The 21st century has brought an increasing demand for expertise in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Although strides have been made towards increasing gender diversity in several of these disciplines, engineering remains primarily male dominated. In response, the U.S. educational system has attempted to make engineering…
