This output focuses on the development of training materials for teachers and educators. A collection of resources will become available as Open Educational Resources and enable teachers/educators to use the assessment solution in makerspace settings.
The resources will include guidelines and recommendations for teachers in the form of a handbook, examples, illustrations and more.
Training materials will be developed for teachers/facilitators of makerspaces. This will be training in the definition and assessment of 21st C Skills, use of the digital tool including the teacher specific functionality and how to onboard and support students in use of the tool.
More specifically, the training materials will include:
- Introduction to the maker movement and the role of makerspaces in education with a focus on the development of 21st C Skills (e.g. collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, problem solving).
- Documentation highlighting the need for tools to assess the aforementioned skills
- Introduction to the ASSESSMAKE21 digital tool/solution, how to use tutorial and guidelines, and learning scenarios that will exemplify the use of the tool/solution in makerspace settings.
