Research On The Influencing Factors And Improvement Strategies Of The Promotion Of Maker Education In Primary And Secondary Schools

With the development of technology and the Internet,the application of 3D Printing,Arduino and other open source hardware platforms in primary and secondary schools is booming.Thus more and more students are embarking on the road of being a “Maker”.Subsequently,the “Maker movement”,which is based on design,sharing,communication,production and open source,is being carried out in an orderly way in primary and secondary schools.Therefore,in order to comply with the public entrepreneurship,innovation trends and requirements as well as further implement the Maker Education of primary and secondary schools,this dissertation is based on Synergy Theory,Group Dynamics,Educational Ecology and Diffusion of Innovation Theory,illustrated by primary and secondary schools of Kunming,using literature research,questionnaire,interview,mathematical statistics and other research methods to research and analysis the influencing factors and improvement strategies of Maker Education.It aims to make Maker Education more effective.The research was divided into three stages:The first stage,according to the research content of this dissertation,design a questionnaire and an interview outline of the promotion of Maker Education in primary and secondary schools of Kunming and carry them on.Then analysis the current situation of promotion of Maker Education in primary and secondary schools of Kunming from four aspects including environmental construction,teaching and courses as well as organization activities of Maker Education.Based on the designed corresponding simulation evaluation system,further analysis of the promotion of Marker Education in primary and secondary schools of Kunming can be drawn,so as to find the problems in the promotion of Maker Education in primary and secondary school in Kunming.The second stage,based on the current situation and existing problems of the promotion of Maker Education in primary and secondary schools in Kunming,starting from the Maker itself,using the structural equation model to analyze theinfluencing factors of the promotion of Maker Education in primary and secondary schools in Kunming,that is,space,teaching,courses and activities of Maker.Based on this,a model of influencing factors on the promotion of Maker education in primary and secondary schools in Kunming is constructed.The third stage,based on the analysis results above and existing problems of promoting Maker Education primary and secondary schools in Kunming,this dissertation proposes the corresponding effective improvement strategies.Finally,the author summarizes and reflects on the whole research,and points out the deficiencies and to be improved in the research.It is hoped that the research on the promotion of Maker Education in primary and secondary schools in Kunming can provide some references for the promotion of Maker education in other relevant areas in the future.
