Educational makerspaces have now been established in many Norwegian schools. Makerspace initiators promote active learning by using new and traditional materials, tools and technologies in creative activities. Arts and crafts (A&C) education shares many ideas with makerspaces, inviting pupils to explorative interaction through material…

The study investigated joint action performance and joint unintentional transfer of learning in two cohorts of elementary school children. Thirty-two first-graders (mean age 6.6 ± 1.22 years; 22 females; all White) and 32 second-graders (mean age 7.8 ± 0.27 years; 15 females; all White) performed a Joint Simon task before and after performing a…

The article explores the psychological and pedagogical aspects of developing critical thinking in primary school learners. Its primary objective was to analyze these aspects and experimentally assess the impact of a specially designed system of end-to-end exercises on the level of critical thinking formation in young students.
