Two Decades in the Making: A Scoping Review on Research on Digital Making and Its Potential for Digital Empowerment in Non-Formal Settings
Smolarczyk, Kathrin; Kröner, Stephan
Journal of Research on Technology in Education, v55 n3 p459-476 2023
FabLabs and makerspaces offer unprecedented opportunities for digital empowerment, especially for children and adolescents. However, reviews on making with regard to empowerment are lacking. We identified n = 180 publications on digital making with children and adolescents and, after categorizing them regarding formal criteria and formality of settings, identified the main topics in publications on digital making in non-formal settings. Results revealed a great demand for empirical studies with experimental designs. Three main topics emerged: domain-specific determinants of participation, equity, and skills and competencies. Implications for further research and limitations as well as implications for digital empowerment processes are discussed.
