Abstract

This thesis reflects on strategies used to facilitate didactic interactions between design research-creation and maker experiences in a secondary school. The author uses maker-driven design activity as a hybrid term to define educational activities that integrate critical making, sustainable action, and creative uses of technology. Two projects are described to exemplify the challenges and qualities of this didactic approach. The careful use of design constraints and observations of patterns of concern, such as process avoidance, are essential in understanding the qualities necessary for a meaningful design experience in the context of school. The author uses observations of maker-driven design activity situated in a school Fab Lab to inform guideposts for future research-creation infusing creative-technical learning with design literacy. This thesis is intended for designers, teachers, and researchers interested in creative and interdisciplinary learning experiences in what is broadly labelled as design for the art of learning.
