- Abstract
- Maker education, a new project-based education trend, is becoming important for developing students' creativity, confidence and interest in science and technologies. It can create opportunities for young students to turn their ideas into reality and is consistent with the goals of the Free Semester Program in Korea. This study developed and applied a project-based training programme for 72 teachers to change perceptions on the necessity and possibility of maker education. After training, there were statistically significant differences in teachers' perceptions on the necessity of providing maker education when the project group utilised ICT (e.g. 3D printers and Arduino). In addition, through an open-ended survey, necessary things for implementing maker education in each school were discussed.
