Maker culture and methodology in teacher education: a creative, interdisciplinary, innovative, sustainable and inclusive proposal

Abstract

It is up to the University and the School, as institutions of initial and continued teacher training, to rethink the ways of teaching and learning, enhancing a movement of pedagogical innovation of the new generation, to understand and overcome local and global challenges and problems. In this sense, this study aims to bring reflections on the practice of maker culture, as a tool and pedagogy of the pedagogical innovation movement, contributing to the resolution of societal problems, in a sustainable perspective, as proposed by Education 5.0. The methodology used was bibliographic theory with narrative review (Rother, 2007), whose literature analysis is the authors' critical interpretation, based on their investigative and practical repertoires. The study allowed us to conclude that the maker culture and methodology, as an educational approach, can support the pedagogical change that is so sought towards a humanistic curriculum, aiming at creative, active, interactive, innovative, interdisciplinary, inclusive, equitable, sustainable learning and in the sense of skills, attitudes, and values.
