Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to chart the development of Makerspaces in higher education (MIHE), by building a map of existing research work in the field. Based on a corpus of 183 manuscripts, published between January 2014 and April 2021, it sets out to describe the range of topics covered under the umbrella of MIHE and provide a holistic view of the field. Design/methodology/approach The approach adopted in this research includes development of the 2014–2021 MIHE corpus; literature overview and initial coding scheme development; refinement of the initial coding scheme with the help of a focus group and construction of the MIHE map version 1.0; refinement of the MIHE map version 1.0 following a systematic approach of content analysis and development of the MIHE map version 2.0; evaluation of the proposed structure and inclusiveness of all categories in the MIHE map version 2.0 using card-sorting technique; and, finally, development of the MIHE map version 3.0. Findings The research trends in the categories of the MIHE map are discussed, as well as possible future directions in the field. Originality/value This paper provides a holistic view of the field of MIHE guiding both junior MIHE researchers to place themselves in the field, and policymakers and decision-makers who attempt to evaluate the current and future scholar activity in the field. Finally, it caters for more experienced researchers to focus on certain underinvestigated domains.

绘制高等教育创客空间的景观:研究结果清单
目的本研究的目的是通过绘制该领域现有研究工作的地图,绘制高等教育创客空间(MIHE)的发展图。基于2014年1月至2021年4月期间发表的183篇手稿,它开始描述MIHE保护伞下涵盖的主题范围,并提供该领域的整体观点。设计/方法论/方法本研究采用的方法包括开发2014-2011年MIHE语料库;文献综述和初步编码方案开发;在焦点组的帮助下细化初始编码方案并构建MIHE映射版本1.0;遵循MIHE地图版本2.0的内容分析和开发的系统方法,对MIHE地图1.0版本进行细化;使用卡片排序技术评估MIHE地图2.0版中所有类别的拟议结构和包容性;以及,最后,MIHE地图3.0版的开发。文中讨论了MIHE地图类别的研究趋势,以及该领域未来可能的发展方向。原创性/价值本文提供了一个关于高等教育学院领域的整体观点,指导高等教育学院的初级研究人员将自己置于该领域,以及试图评估该领域当前和未来学者活动的决策者和决策者。最后,它迎合了更有经验的研究人员关注某些研究不足的领域。

期刊介绍: Interactive Technology and Smart Education (ITSE) is a multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, which provides a distinct forum to specially promote innovation and participative research approaches. The following terms are defined, as used in the context of this journal: -Interactive Technology refers to all forms of digital technology, as described above, emphasizing innovation and human-/user-centred approaches. -Smart Education "SMART" is used as an acronym that refers to interactive technology that offers a more flexible and tailored approach to meet diverse individual requirements by being “Sensitive, Manageable, Adaptable, Responsive and Timely” to educators’ pedagogical strategies and learners’ educational and social needs’. -Articles are invited that explore innovative use of educational technologies that advance interactive technology in general and its applications in education in particular. The journal aims to bridge gaps in the field by promoting design research, action research, and continuous evaluation as an integral part of the development cycle of usable solutions/systems.
