Teaching practice based on Maker culture for secondary education

We continue to work on an action research designed to improve teaching practice. We offered to help teachers to get technological knowledge, which added to their experiences in order to change the way of teaching science and technology in secondary education. The aim of this work is to describe the activities implemented, as well as the results obtained from them in the classroom. The activities were carried out by a female technical secondary school teacher from Puebla, Mexico. She changed her way of teaching innovation projects within an "office automation course" in the third grade of secondary school. She planned activities with her students based on the Maker culture. The investigation was exploratory, with a research action design with qualitative analysis. Observation and interviews were used as data collection techniques. The concepts that resulted from the analysis were: human qualities, peer student work and feelings. These results will help us to get information for the action research design as well as for future educational interventions and to continue promoting changes to the teaching practice as a proposal of technological mediation based on the Maker culture in order to teach science and technology in secondary school.
