Abstract

Design-based Learning (DBL) and Maker Education (ME) are educational approaches that aim to equip students with 21st century skills. As they are not yet widely adopted in the Netherlands, Dutch teachers often develop their own teaching materials. However, these teachers might be unfamiliar with the intricacies of DBL and ME, and they may have trouble setting learning objectives related to the design process or assessing these objectives. In this paper, we explore how a blueprint for DBL and ME curriculum design, based on several curriculum design models, can support elementary school teachers with creating projects for their classroom. We report on the design and implementation of a workshop with three teachers. Based on observation data, workshop artifacts, and post-workshop interviews, we report insights in teachers' experiences with creating design briefs, setting learning objectives, choosing learning and assessment activities, and further contextual needs related to the implementation of the designed project.
